A small black kitten with big shiny eyes sits with its paws together as if wishing or praying. Above it, the text says: “May kindness win in the end.” The background is a soft blue gradient.

Five months in and still looking for work. Game writing would be great, but I've also got 30 years software QA management experience with waterfall and agile.

So, if you need someone who can write with a strong tech background and can work with teams across multiple continents, I might be your guy.

my hand holding five of the new style whistles, in different rainbow gradients. these print sideways so the rainbows are much more obvious, and they have teeth grips!

FIRST A REMINDER: we will send you 100 - 3000 (or more!) completely free whistles at whistlecoven.com at any time!

But some folks don't want 100 or do want to pick their color or get them from Kit Rocha, so... here you go!

Heads up folks: @thetnholler.bsky.social posted an AI-generated video this morning that was a deepfake of the captain of the U.S. women’s hockey team, and they seem to be promoting it as if it’s a real video. So watch out for that and don’t spread fakes.

How far back in time can you understand English? An experiment in language change

If you liked this experiment, I published a full piece today in the same vein: a text that gets 100 years older with every section, from a modern blog post to a medieval chronicle.

It's a single story spanning 1000 years of English. See how far you get.

look if a Democrat wants me to be really fired up about voting for them, they will promulgate the Crimes Against Humanity Reparations Act which gives US citizenship to everyone targeted by the Trump administration.

OMG! Love your yarn bowl! What is it made out of? (Ceramic, wood, plastic?)

re knitting Q- I always add a couple inched to my sweaters especially since I have a long torso. A tape measure is a good friend, and laying it against your body or comparing to a sweater whose fit you like also help.

Toppers are one of my essentials- between my cats always being curious about what I’m doing and the projects I carry in my purse- they have saved my butt so many times by keeping my stitches on the needles 😆

Found these on etsy! Also lucky that my local yarn store has lots of fun notions too.

Red fingering weight yarn on circular knitting needles. White row marker bead visible, Needle toppers in the shape of a boot saying “smash the patriarchy” and a rectangular topper that says “The Horrors persist but so do i”. All resting on top of a purple blanket. Slight modification to pattern- doing 2x2 rib instead of 1x1

Same! Ribbing is just the right amount of keeping fingers busy, but not having to pay too close attention to a pattern 😆

Thank you, you are too kind. (Thank you too for all that you share on line- your skeets are ones I always look forward to.)

Going to go and sort through my feelings now.

Oh, oh, i think my heart just broke a bit. It meant so much to me that my yarn has historical inspirations and that there were fundraisers for good causes. I even got brave enough to share my knitting to help celebrate the yarn source. I’m going to go cry in the corner now.

Reminder that ICE was invented after 9/11 to terrorize people on US soil.

W’s “war on terror” incl mass surveillance, even more racial profiling & aggressive policing & treating immigration as a security issue. Muslims & Brown folk perceived as such can tell you how that went.

Abolish.

Or learning to knit cat toys😸 My kiddo has crocheted some toys for our kitties- which then our orange boy carries around every where while telling us about it.

I remember reading when this happened that part of what hit the jewelry makers/owners so hard was that they routinely vastly underinsured their items because that travel insurance is extremely expensive.

Sockhead Slouch Hat pattern by Kelly McClure Version Four (V4) is now available! #sockheadhat

I’ve now made this pattern several times, it is my go to “purse project.” Perfect for getting in a row or two while waiting, or needing to keep your hands busy while listening to something else.

Railyard Scarf pattern by Mary Keenan

Link to the scarf pattern- I choose it because the recipient loves trains, and it just seemed appropriate. It is a very easy pattern once you get into the rhythm of the repeats.

Fun fact: unlike on Twitter, there is no link between blocking and unfollowing on Bsky. So if you were following an account and immediately blocked it, you are still listed as a follower. (That's about 20 people I follow who also follow rapist NG, which doesn't feel great! Check and fix maybe?)

I created this rebel design, representing the Alaska state bird, the Big Dipper and the North Star, to stand in solidarity with the people of Minnesota and with everyone who is protesting and standing up for our constitutional rights. Profits go to ACLU and NARF.

Le More Velvet Red | Republic of Yarnia COLORWAY: Le More Velvet Red looks is a luscious deep red solid with a splash of black to deepen it. It's a glorious red that works up well on its own but can be paired with so many other colorways. ...

Yarn from Republic of Yarnia- “Le More Velvet Red” one of my favorite colorways! Yarn base I used for this hat is the Merino/Silk DK. Which worked up absolute scrumptious and soft and squishable!
