that’s one clever way to dodge the high cost of chocolate with an ingredient substitution.

Davis,CA turns out for No Kings, no wars, pro science, for the people and the constitution!

We had one die in our ductwork and when the heater kicked on it blew dead mouse smell into the room for weeks —- until it was fully desiccated. Hard times!

Would you travel abroad if you were a naturalized citizen? How does kicking out foreign-born US citizens of US military parents help MAGA anyway?

Just off the needles. Corgi cute hat pattern on ravelry.

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says amandascgorman Minneapolis, Minnesota For Renee Nicole Good Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026 by Amanda Gorman They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose. Iced wheels flinched & froze. Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns. If for us she arose, Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power, The howl where we begin, Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been. Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour & bitter anger of our neighbors Is moved by the love * better angels of our nature.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

I have about 5 years of Christmas waxed amaryllis in my garden now!

If you have an awkward sized gift to wrap, Trader Joe’s canvas bags at $3.99/$2.99 are a great value that have many uses after the holidays!

Not true —- I immerse mine in water in the sink once every week or so, then tip out any excess after a minute soak. And when they are finished blooming, I remove the wax, put them in a pot with potting soil about a quarter way up the bulb and keep the soil moist until they grow roots.

Seems like it needs water. It’s unusual to have a stalk wither while a flower is still that fresh.

How bad will the airport cuts get? Will it spread to more airports? Higher percent of flights? Why not kill private jets before commercial?

Maybe try a soak in synthrapol with a color catcher? And in future you could soak your bold colored yarns in retayne before use. I use these with my quilting fabrics to fix dyes before use.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

My Last Day as an Accomplice of the Republican Party Why I’m leaving the GOP and why I’m urging my former colleagues to do the same.

NEW. Powerful piece by Miles Bruner.

"I know the thought of walking away from your career and your social network is terrifying...I urge you to recognize that our nation is heading down a very dark path. But it’s not too late to change direction...Take a stand."

Thank you! I’m going to try to modify it to leave off the double neck band. A bit like Yule Do pattern by Kraemer. I get too warm at the neck. But love love this design!

Gorgeous! Can you share the designer too or a link to pattern on ravelry? Love this and your colors are perfect!

It’s amazing how all the reporting is just memory-holing this part

Good morning.

The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you.

Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

So many coverups.

Release the Epstein files.

Release the Homan tapes.

Release the Venezuelan fishing boats evidence.

For the record.

My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.

I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

"This is...like the Dallas Cowboys working as ball boys in Single A minor league baseball. It is as if our government has decided that there is no crime in the country worth pursuing other than immigration enforcement."

I’m making this now in an alpaca silk blend and loving the pattern! Yours is lovely

You might try an I-cord bind off. It would roll back and hode the pickups if you frog back and have only a row or two after you pick up.
