As of 2023, Sherlock Holmes is finally in the public domain in the United States -- which means that Arthur Conan Doyle's heirs and random other rights-holders can no longer insist that the character be free of any trace of homoeroticism.

Trying to stay focused on holding better in the imagination and doing better, locally, as my daily practice.
Kiddo also selected some yarn with requests for socks, a throw, and a sweater 💖
Went to a yarn swap. It was glorious. Highly recommend organizing one in your community!
Yarn that I had been trying to will myself to use was happily swooped up by another, and I was able to get free skeins for my free beginner knitting classes + a little treat for me. All the rest was donated 💖🧶
Al-Fassel and Pishtaz News publish pro-U.S. coverage about the war on Iran and the Trump administration’s plan to redevelop Gaza.
If there are any knitters, crocheters, or yarn craft lovers out there interested in buying yarn on Mercari, I’ve listed some skeins of yarn on my shop account there. I had extra pink yarn I’m happy to part with 💖🧶🖤🤘🏼🦇

Why do people still think billionaires running public anything is a good idea?!
These are wealth-hoarding tax evaders who don't pay living wages and arguably benefit the most from the public infrastructure and social systems they don't pay into! All while trashing the planet..!
Got my almost-6yo an abacus at the thrift (I've been waiting for a while) and it's a big hit! ✨
Impatiently waiting for the book on hand sewing garments I thrifted to show up in the mail!
I have a machine, but I want to understand garment construction from a couple different perspectives.
I'd like to make things from new, mend, tailor, and repurpose things.
✨📖✨🪡✨
Gorgeous 😍
When you want the psycho out but also you don't want a decade of JDV who is coherent + super evil 🫠
Anyway, back to learning to grow my own food and advocating for Indigenous Leadership! 👋🏻
I don't understand why it's so hard for people. Meanwhile, my 5yo is pissed at every gendered double-standard, which is the appropriate use/application of gender outrage.
Current outrage is that "boys" can go topless in public and "girls" can't, so every shirtless man is pointed out and condemned 😅
Thanks! Im in Northern California. People do not show up in the way they do in Los Angeles (spoken from a kid who was woken at the crack of dawn to shop them), but it's still a decent turn out! Most of it will be free, so I'm going to share it on the local Buy Nothing group and hope that clears it!
My garage is as chaotic as my brain 🫠
Prepping for a garage sale and wondering how I'm even going to get it all sorted 😅
The hope is to turn the space into an extra play/chill area off the backyard + sensible storage for seasonal items (no car fits in there, maybe a golf cart)
Wish me luck! ✨🤞🏻✨

posting this shit when you’re owned by a billionaire is basically a recruitment ad for socialism
Yeah, they're quite motivating! My big tip is to weave in ends after each rounds of hens, and do their beaks at that time, too - i had one where I left it all to the end and it was hard to stay motivated. I have ADHD, so I really can't be putting off boring parts to the very end 😅
My very first socks were made over 10 years ago, a worsted weight pair that I muddled my way through with the help of some Very Pink Knits YT tutorials.
I am pretty sure these were among the moth losses of 2017, but I still have the replacement pair in a bag of things to be mended 🧶🧦
Hand-knit color-work socks with a blue background and rows of chickens in alternating colors of light gray, brown, and charcoal. The cuffs and toes of the sock are yellow, and the heels are red.
I see that #showmeyourknits is socks!
These ones are my proudest accomplishment so far, but I do love a good vanilla sock.
This is the Herding Hens pattern from Stone Knits, knit up in KP Palette. They were a Xmas gift for my sweetie.
Over here thinking about my preferred method of heel turn, as one does 🧶🧦

Working on a pattern and tutorial sample for first-time socks - these will be the small size and going to my partner's mom when they're done. I'm glad she has small feet, because between the three of us, I can test all three sizes 😅
The really impactful thing here is the tracker on what could be funded instead:

Planted some native strawberries... heres hoping I don't kill them! 😬✨🤞🏻✨🍓
Digging through stash to find yarns for YouTube tutorials... just over here remembering that I never fully catalogued all this and maybe I should 😬
But do I use a spreadsheet or Ravelry, that is the question 🧶
Okay, took a moment to jot down some of my favorite knitting resources 🧶

Also, please everyone, stop letting AI have your face and/or voice - you are giving valuable biometric data to evil people who will use it against us all, I am sorry to say… people are already being harmed by surveillance tech, including being nabbed for crimes they did not commit.
I need to make these, and I don’t even have a kitten right now.
