Spotted in Costco yesterday, 7/23/2026. Is anyone buying these at this point? Why are they still there?

I’m here to take care of a friend who just had open heart surgery, so I’m going nowhere, but these are the games that are being played while I’m here.

On a MARTA train at the airport in Atlanta. One sports fan says to the other sports fan that he’s waiting for tickets to the game to come down. Other guy asks his budget. He responds $3,000. THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS! Holy crap!

I love that I learned about Lady G's death from @jamesissmiling.bsky.social 's magnificent Instagram post this morning. #ladyg #lindsaygraham #protectthedolls 🏳️‍⚧️

Just woke up to find out Lindsey Graham is dead?? lol??? Most of you know him as the homophobic senator from South Carolina but to me he will always be the man who paid a twinky pre-transition college student ( ) a fat
stack of cash to do unspeakable things to him in a hotel room while he wore red lingerie
It is a canon trans event to have far right freaks bankrolling you & then turning around and voting against you. People loooooove to judge us for it but I never see them opening their wallets!!! Shoutout to s*x workers everywhere forced to humanize their enemies just to make rent.

It is an absolute mindfvck too me that one of the reasons I have any semblance of financial security (& a lack of student loans) is because of this man.
At the time I had no idea who he was, and I only figured it out because another group or twinks leaked Lady G to the media. Some queers tried to grandstand critique this, saying we shouldn't "out" people. I believe bigots with power deserve no peace or privacy, especially when they hold public office. I'm glad they did it. Icons, forever.
Anyway, if you've ever enjoyed what I do on the internet know that it is in part because of Lindsey's generous donation over a decade ago. If I've ever sent you $ for something know that was kickstarted by the now deceased sissy senator from South Carolina.

Lindsey, rest in hell for what you did to our community.
I will continue to love queer and trans people harder than you ever hated us. You loved every second of our time together and now everyone knows

Look, sexy woman. I found this rock by this stream, and I'm just playing with the water. You are a sexy knitting woman who is perfect for a sexy knitting man like me! #weirdfakeicelandicman #knitting

Icelandic Viking/Fabio-looking man in front of a fake glacier on some fake rocks playing with his hands in a fake stream enjoying some probably fake coffee.

Like what is this? He's not even making the sweater. #weirdfakeicelandicman #knitting

Knitting man who is definitely not knitting the sweater in the pattern, nor is he actually knitting. He's just holding some knitting that exists. And he's in front of a tent from the 1950s... or else it was designed for a child's room. It's an Icelandic pattern, but that's for sure not a real photo of Iceland. Look at the rock he's sitting on. This is so silly.

I grew up in Atlanta, and I just spent the weekend there for a wedding. Just wondering: What the fuck happened to Buckhead? Like, I always hated Buckhead. It's where rich people shopped and ate, but the place was so overdeveloped and like 85% of it hasn't been maintained. It's so apocolyptic now!

Debris and trash inside another sidewalk hole.

Abby@proactivebusybody· Jun 7

So this begs the question: Why am I not doing this every single time? If the old money elite of Atlanta can handle my sneakers, why can't every future wedding be me in sneakers? I feel like I've found a cheat code.

Me in a colorful summer dress wearing red sneakers, AND GETTING AWAY WITH IT!

TIL that you shouldn’t bring your glasses into a sauna. Don’t think anything of it. But now I have little horizontal lines throughout both lenses. It’s called crazing. It’s when the anti-reflect coating breaks down. And it can’t be fixed.

Abby@proactivebusybody· May 16

A few more. Bad connection, and the alt text isn’t working. Sorry!

Abby@proactivebusybody· May 16

Hello Knitters! I’m in Iceland and saw this in a shop window. Does anyone recognize this pattern or know what the style is called. I tried “modern lopapeysa” on Ravelry but that isn’t really working. But I’m on my phone. #knitting #iceland

I took this three mornings ago at Krauma Geothermal baths in Iceland. #morning #BlueSkyArtShow #Iceland #dog

It’s been a wild ride since the last sock update. These guys have been on and off DPNs, and sometimes I’ve been alternating between working on each on the circulars. But they are both back on the circulars now. I have MUCH to learn. How did y’all get better at 2 at a time socks? #knitting #socks

Abby@proactivebusybody· Apr 24

My attempt. I guess it’s more top down than bottom up, but it’s not straightforward. Tons of shaping.

The best so far. Not sure I picked the best yarn.

Abby@proactivebusybody· Apr 24

Two socks at the same time update. I have to switch one of my socks around on the needles when I got to this part – at least I thought I had to so I did. But whatever. It's working. BTW, this is the I'm So Basic Sock pattern. #knitting #socks #2atatime

Knitting two red and white ankle socks at the same time. I've now reached the heel flap portion of the pattern.

Abby@proactivebusybody· Apr 22

Double sock update! Ok making two socks at the same time is SO MUCH BETTER than making one sock at a time. This is the move! #knitting #socks #2atatime

Two reddish socks on one long circular needle.

Sock update! #knitting #socks

I found someone to block. So I post a photo of sock knitting, and you ask my why it makes you horny? GTFO.

A response to a photo of sock knitting ask why the photo makes him horny.

Abby@proactivebusybody· Apr 18

It is such a mindfuck! But I think it’s sort of working. I don’t know if I’ll ever choose these size 1s again though. It’s making my hands hurt. 🥴

Abby@proactivebusybody· Apr 18

I knit one sock once around 2000. I never knit its pair. Now I’m trying a thing where you knit two socks at the same time on one long circular needle. I don’t have the building block skills to pull this off AT ALL, but I’m going to try anyway. You can’t tell me what to do! #knitting #socks

Two socks being knit at the same time. Mind you, this is a photo from a web search. I am no where near this level of accomplishment.

Bro across the street is literally power washing the grass. There are plumes of pollen. I wish I’d captured how yellow it was when he started. WITAF?!

Reynisfjara Beach in Iceland is rumored to be gone, but I’ve seen video showing that it’s not. The water and beach have changed, but time will tell how it all shakes out. I’ll post a video of how it looked in 2022 attached to this. #stone #iceland #BlueSkyArtShow
