Today I turn 89. I’ve seen this country at its best and its worst, and I know how much community matters. For my birthday, I’m asking you to stand with PFLAG and support the work that’s helped so many in the LGBTQ+ community, including me. give.pflag.org/page/95493/d...

The next socks (using the souvenir yarn Carter got in Switzerland) have been moved to the Chiagoo needles and the cuff length determined (14 rows). I’ll figure out how long the leg will be as I knit it. #Knitting #Socks 🧶🧦

I'm reading Radium Girls now about women who died and were ignored from radium poisoning. My grandfather died at 63 from mesothelioma from asbestos exposure. Our new kitchen counters are killing thousands of men today.

New industrial materials are constantly killing working class people. Enough.

VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?

ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"

I have to go to work and this is not my cat.

The first and most important step when using an oven is to preheat all the pans you store in there to 425.

A large white waterfowl with orange feet stands in front of a door. On the door is a cardboard sign secured with tape that reads, "DO NOT LET THE DUCK IN." Adding insult to injury, I think the duck might be a goose.

Whatever you do,

had a minor crashout yesterday and spent all afternoon designing my first amigurumi pattern. I hope everyone finds it as cute as I do.

I've been away for a week. This looks about right

Solar Eclipse over Australia as seen by the NASA's Deep Space Climate Observatory (DSCOVR)

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.
