Correction: Pete Hegseth should be in jail.

You do love your strongly worded letters. It is your literal job to hold this administration accountable. What are you *doing* about this and all the other violations?

This is going to ruin so much!

Say goodbye to mail voting
Say goodbye to rural service
Say goodbye to timely meds delivery
Say goodbye to affordable shipping for small businesses

USPS is a critical service. It is not a business that should be focused on bringing value to shareholders

*Taps 🎤 *
Is this thing on?

Trump wants control of the USPS so he can fuck with mail in voting.

TRUMP WANTS CONTROL OF THE USPS SO HE CAN FUCK WITH MAIL IN VOTING.

A hand-knit black and gray Virginia-raised merino shawl is shown blocking on a picnic table in a campground. A striped towel is next to the shawl

Took advantage of the 2 dry days in between snow storms to block this shawl on the table outside. It seems dry enough now that the next round of snow is here!

Yarn is Mount Vernon (100% merino) from Cestari Sheep

I just took a needle felting class at SCRAP RVA & then got felting supplies from my LYS. NGL it felt nice to take a break from the news for a few hours
Also: stay tuned for some fun garlands & other goodies made w/ local fibers. I think it’s going to be super therapeutic to st@b some wool repeatedly

Donald Trump and his Administration won’t say this, so we will:

Happy Black History Month.

I spent my day unplugged (though I did have PBS running for viewership numbers).
I went to the thrift store, enjoyed a local park, and finally got around to setting up my Libby account. One day down…hopefully only 1,460 to go…sigh

That’s exactly what I’m doing today too!

Why do I get the strong suspicion that it’s time to leave TT now too? 🤔🤔🤔
