This spring, I put an insane number of hours into planting a garden in the front yard. Every day after logging off work, I go hunting through the flowers like an inept wildlife photographer, spying on all the little critters. The 10 monarch caterpillars I’ve found are particularly rewarding.

The bees around me are too anti-paparazzi to pose for pictures, but this guy on my mom’s hostas was a little more chill about showing his fuzzy little bee booty.

Gotta get some outside time before the sun comes all the way up and transforms the air back into a giant soupy armpit…

There’s a lot of good ones, trying to pick my favorite is hard, but the plot twist on this one hits me every time:

Tumblr post:

Kragehund-est: sex isn’t sexy unless it’s a little but gross. have you forgotten that you are a divine ape? plastic smooth skin, plucked hair, painted faces, scripted reactions, scrubbed til only the smell of perfumed soap remains, proportions that are conflictingly cookiecutter yet unattainable, none of this is even a little bit interesting.

you can laugh at napoleon’s “home in three days, don’t bathe” letter to his wife, but there’s more sexuality in that one line than there is in the entirety of the hypersexualized but painfully unsexy internet.

the-ghost-of-jetstream-tormod: What are your thoughts on musk?

Kragehund-est: i hope he dies

At some point, I’ll have to write this out as a pattern, but for now I’ll just enjoy my creation. 🧶

Large navy crochet blanket with a floral pattern in light sage green and big block letters: “Fuck you. Make me.”

I don’t know who needs this in their life, but here’s the pic my 10 year old drew of a 2-headed snake farting:

One head of a pencil-drawn snake gags and says “POOT.” The other head glances guiltily back and says, “Oh. Uh. Sorry Rick.”

If this is your main takeaway from reading these documents, you have nothing of value to contribute to the conversation and you should say absolutely nothing.

NYT article titled “Epstein’s Emails Reveal a Lost New York: The disgraced financier’s recently released documents are steeped in a clubby world that is all but gone.”

I mean, this is fucking wild.

So glad other people got to have this entertainment.

First text asks, “Do you see an inflatable astronaut costume?” Reply text says, “With the panda?”

Super pleased with this creation. Took a LOT of ripping out and redoing rows, and a serious game of yarn chicken, but totally worth it. 🧶

Mosaic crochet blanket in purple and pale orange that says “Read books” in scripty font, followed by “Punch Nazis” in big block letters.

Started @catbohannon.bsky.social ‘s “Eve” yesterday and I cannot put this thing down. I’m no scientist but this stuff is FASCINATING.

Taking a break from my super skinny yarn to go back to my beloved 6.50mm hook 🧶

In-progress crochet blanket in light blue and grayish-brown, solid single-crochet background with raised pattern over top that’s supposed to be honeycomb but looks more like diamonds

This one was a design of my own invention and one of the blankets I’m most pleased with

Blanket designed to look like a full bookcase, with books of varying heights and colors, with potted plants on each shelf with different texture pots

Well clearly at least a few people at WaPo aren’t too happy about the non-endorsement and put this front and center:

“This is cowardice, a moment of darkness that will leave democracy as a casualty. Donald Trump will celebrate this as an invitation to further intimidate The Post’s owner, Jeff Bezos (and other media owners),” former Post executive editor Martin Baron, who led the paper while Trump was president, said in a text message to The Post. “History will mark a disturbing chapter of spinelessness at an institution famed for courage.”

Also just dropped Letters to Voters 601 - 625 in the mail!

Got my early vote on today! Now to spend the next several days staving off the existential dread!

Finished this one a little while ago. The combo of the small hook and the star stitch made it take foooooorever but I love the sunset-y colors. 🧶

Blanket slowly transitioning from dark gray-blue to gray to pink to orange to white and then back. Kinda bumpy looking because it’s laying on the grass.

Got involved this morning on a convo where some dipshit told another woman not to post selfies if she didn’t want to be harassed and it got me all riled so here’s my own selfie, because fuck that, that’s why.

I’d forgotten about the stamps I carved for these letters back in 2020–using them makes me happy.

Dropped off a stack of Vote Forward letters at the post office yesterday. In a possibly misguided fit of enthusiasm, I signed up for another 100. My hand hurts just thinking about it.

Got to see some of the aurora last night. Not really easy to get the colors with the naked eye but my phone was there in the clutch

My 6-month yarn-buying embargo is now over, but my stash has only reached slightly less embarrassing levels. Was able to finish up these—a couple more to come! 🧶

3 scrap yarn blankets worked in somewhat random colors (2 have a brighter theme and one is more fall colors), stripes in different patterns and textures, draped over a bench swing

Search your camera roll for hell It also pulled up several pictures of my kids when they were younger, which is an interesting choice on the algorithm’s part

Forecast from What the Forecast when I didn’t have a connection: temp is 455 degrees, and the description reads “This would be the perfect day to ride a unicorn but this is hell and the unicorns are dead.”

Becca Foster@beccanator· Oct 4

Really like the way this one turned out. Just C2C moss/linen stitch but I love the way that stitch lets you play with color! 🧶

I try not to post tweets too much but couldn’t resist. A friend sent me this and now I will be singing Mountain Goats all day:
