Emily St. James wrote about the show. She had a great article about how the show turned an “everywoman” character into a superhero.

The threat itself is an impeachable offense. Don’t let it slide.
I feel sick to my stomach waiting around to see what atrocity Trump has in mind for the people of Iran this evening. It's hard to fathom our other elected leaders aren't able to check him in any meaningful way. It's an indictment not just of voters but of our whole system. We're ruled by a mad king.
If you’ve never called your congressional reps before, do it right now.
On January 13, Trump told Iranian protestors, "HELP IS ON THE WAY.
And then, he didn't send help. Iran killed 30,000 protestors bc Trump didn't deliver on that promise.
Today, Trump says, "A whole civilization will die today, never to be brought back again."
A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS? We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!
God help us.
BREAKING: Another person has died in ICE custody, per required notification to Congress, marking 15 deaths in detention this year and 45+ since Trump took office again.
NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

Trans friends, thank you for being you, and for, when you can, sharing yourselves with a world that is so frequently undeserving of the light you bring to it. I love and support you, always. 🏳️⚧️🫂🫶

It's been a few years since I've followed what's happening in the quilting world but I've always thought you could tell the state of the country by what the quilters are doing. They proved that theory correct this year. Go checkout the #quiltcon posts. Powerful. Creative. Just what it should be.
and i think the example of washington — whose peer, in this regard, is frederick douglass — is a reminder that artifice and performance are important parts of democratic society, and that the contempt for virtue signaling is corrosive. virtue is meant to be signaled!

Thank you!! I am a beginner, and finishing this was a big achievement for me. It’s not perfect, but i love it!
16-square baby quilt. Every other square is blue and white strip. Four of the blocks have a grey and white star. The other four are grey and white pinwheels. A Tortie cat is lying on the quilt.
I finished a baby quilt just in time for the shower! Cat-tested, cat-approved.

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.
I am glad I ended the Mystery Musikal where I did because it is a perfect winter scarf! 🧶
Imagine being made to spend 11 days inside a coffin. Imagine being made to spend more than a day inside a box barely two feet large in any direction. Imagine having to curl up, unable to extend any of your extremities, in the claustrophobic conditions of such a box, for more than a cumulative day. You can see pictures Abu Zubaydah drew of himself in the small box. Now imagine this being done to someone you love. I say all this because the following description appears in an Amnesty International report released Friday into the conditions of confinement for migrants at Alligator Alcatraz:

So far the Aurora Cain Shawl by #westknits is very relaxing. I suspect this project will take me through the winter! 🧶
