NZ/US citizen - Chicago-born - pols & law nerd - sewing addict - getting into applique - Poisonwood Bible is my fav novel - in the runng for typo queen of the internet
#ShowMeYourKnits WIP - a baby blanket using whatever I have in my stash...
Nick Blakely looks like me when I'm dissociating at the dentist while having a mouthful of godawful cotton things and a wire thing that's pinching - pretending everything isn't awful - for an hour #NZPol
Feeling proud for my #opera singer daughter Emily Mwila who is finally getting breakthroughs in her career - this is her hitting the high notes in #CarminaBurana's #Dulcissime - it's a hell of thing doing Olympic-level breathing training for years so you can sing like this youtu.be/NuVlYoYHowc?...
Or maybe just use renewables that are available right there in the US...also is Newt Gingrich now a civil engineer or something - he's suddenly an expert in the ease of making shipping channels...
#ShowMeYourKnits Don't know about this one - think the kiwi ended up too big...!
On another planet... far, far away from Trump chaos and evil - I had a successful day sewing - custom orders for the grandkids... #sewing
In some more paw patrol applique escapism - Skye - delivered to my great niece...
If I can't sit on your knee then I'm taking over the puzzle #PugCat
This makes me furious for so many reasons - people who don't understand science trying to control and limit science - it's an organic thing that requires people researching all kinds of things in all different ways...it's not all about obvious "public good" - it's founded on curiosity...
Anyone who is in the US legally and who is allowed to work must have a social security number as their Tax Identification Number - that would be millions of people with green cards and work visas - so of course the US issues millions of SSNs to non-citizens - that's the law - Musk is so dumb
To everyone posting their stuff for #PortfolioDay - wow! Meanwhile I have started doing applique using a sew machine that isn't for embroidery
And Labour - Chris Hipkins called Tamatha Paul's comments "stupid":
If you take the sale of MAGA hats as a proxy for how Trump's base is going - you can now get MAGA hat from Walmart for $1...
