Seeing people jump during 9/11 is probably an accurate corollary, though. 😢

I was in the 5th grade during the Challenger tragedy. As traumatic as it was to see those smoke trails on the news every night for a week+ (many GenXers had an anxious time watching the Artemis II launch), it still seems different than seeing a dead body. 🤷‍♀️

Why would the paper include such a graphic photo? Yeesh. 🙈

Out of one side of their bigoted mouths, they’ll cry, “If you’re going to come here, speak English!” and out of the other you get this bullshit. The white nationalism has got to stop. It’s disgusting and wrong.

Unfortunately, schools are getting around the ban by just getting rid of their librarians. bsky.app/profile/heyk...

I hate that the em dash has become a sign of AI. It belongs to people with ADHD so we can switch thoughts mid sentence.

When you use AI to do your writing, you are telling your audience: “I deserve your attention, but you do not deserve my effort.”

The Instagram account tagged on the image (bigrooney77)posted this 2 days ago, but it’s a react video, so I can’t tell when it actually happened.

They’re all so pretty!

Different strokes. I hope you find something that works for you.

Gridding Tutorial YouTube video by Jennifer Bertetto

😂 Fair. But if you change your mind, this is the one I use. She grids in blocks of 10. youtu.be/Zk6mWyo4z10?...

I’m sorry you’re having a hard day. I hope tomorrow feels better.

In the last couple of years, I have finally given up 18ct & conceded to 16 being my max. Even with magnifiers, it feels hard and I just don’t enjoy it as much. I sure love how tiny gauge projects look, though! 😍

I hope you like it. I use their purple holoshimmer and it works great—especially because your needle won’t pierce it. I do always have to watch a gridding video first, though, so I remember how to count.😂

I had preeclampsia and probably wouldn’t be here, either, without science. 🤞🏻

Glad you and baby are still here! 🥰

And the little "quite quickly, in my opinion" dig about Kent's remarriage. As opposed to Trump who moved on to new women while he was STILL IN his relationships. 🙄

I still don’t “get” these numbers & think there’s some major book-cooking happening. Example: to spend $7Million dollars on lobster (at the average market rate of $35/lb), that’s almost 600 pounds of lobster PER DAY for a YEAR. How is that possible? WHO is eating all of that? I just don’t buy it.

“…they hoped to see Brooks ordered to repay the donations and pay the costs associated with the lawsuit and investigation. They also suggested that Brooks be permanently ban him from any fiduciary duties of a charity.”

WHAT?!? Bro needs jail time. And plenty of it. 😡🖕🏻

LOL--that what I thought, too! 😂

"it turned out"--like there was some kind of investigation. 🙄

We all knew he was upgrading his bunker. Wild that he's only now bragging about it.

I liked this post and then realized I misread it. I was thinking Say Anything style. 😂

Brilliant. Wish they'd had this cued up in surround sound.

In addition to writing about feminism, mythology, religion, & tarot, Barbara G. Walker was also a knitting icon who contributed so much to the craft. She recently passed away (Dec '25) and is remembered for being someone who loved learning (widely!) and sharing her vast knowledge with others.
