Red ribbed hand knit red hat on the needles.

Making the newly popular red hat of protest as I get ready for a snowy weekend/week. I have offered to help my friends over FaceTime if they want to make one and run into trouble. Knitting has long been a piece of protesting.

Netflix Starts Boosting All Its 2026 Oscar Nominees: Here They Are Netflix has at least five Oscar nominated movies across a host of categories. Here they are and what they were nominated for. All are out now.

Netflix wasted no time in slapping a bunch of “Oscar nominee” badges on its highest profile movies that have just made their way into the 2026 list across a number of categories.

Vouchers, Patriotism and Prayer: The Trump Administration’s Plan to Remake Public Education Education Secretary Linda McMahon is bringing about a new era in education — and perhaps the end of public schools as we know them.

ProPublica asked Moms for Liberty co-founder Tiffany Justice what percentage of kids she’d like to see in public schools: “I hope to get to zero,” she said.

Some at the Education Department agree — and are dismantling the agency from within.

Ironically, have to thank a DNA test, a found bio sib, and a kpop kdrama culture machine for having me rethink my relationship to Korea. It’s complicated so complicated because Holt and both our governments, but I think I’ve managed to separate out some of the culture from the politics.

Icetapo just pistol whipped a man and executed him in broad daylight in Minneapolis. And there are still people thinking I'm exaggerating when I say this is Gwangju in 1980

Knitted colorwork hat in progress.

Another work in progress shot. The cold hearts hat by @caitlinhunter.bsky.social with yarn from @knitterkim.bsky.social

I thought I’d try something new - like start a project the same year I bought the yarn. This is a cold heart hat by @caitlinhunter.bsky.social with yarn from @knitterkim.bsky.social in #kpopdemonhunter themed colors. Reminds me a lot of the Koln cathedral.

Visions of the cathedral in Koln.

One early pathway to my blanket showed that I needed many more mitered squares.

Trypophobia by xandypeters. #threefatesyarns

It was an outstanding trip. I agree about the movie. Inspiring cultural curiosity is a good thing. Gone are the days perhaps where wearing a hanbok for Halloween was something I had to explain. (I had a home grown one through first grade.)

Poor doggie. Yes I meant the thunder.

Whoa. Did anyone in Oregon hear that just now? That's a rare sound.

It's a lovely color and am so happy to see YOU making a Kpop Demon Hunters colorway. I think I'll have to get some. I went to Korea in July just after seeing the movie. (Coincidence.)

I mean I’d like to think it’s a good reads (I wrote it…)

A frog, some balls of yarn with knitting needles and the words on free speech.

Some thoughts I had about censorship and fiber/yarn festivals. It’s on Medium and it’s free. medium.com/@threefatesy...

I’d forgotten why I had the news turned off. I had a masters in environmental law. Used to mean I studied something but most of it’s been repealed, modified or the case law has been reruled…
