Working on this sweater, which is bottom-up construction. I can churn out a top down construction ridiculously fast, maybe it's something to do with the interest of shaping?, but have yet to finish a bottom up. Fingers crossed that this is the first because I really like the pattern!

Just in case you're going to be on the Electric line (I don't see how this won't be a cluster fuck but I guess that's where we're headed.) (They had gates when I was a kid...)

For something goofier, today I saw a yacht called Vitamin D

A smallish yacht on the Chicago River is seen from the back, where its name is written in half assed cursive: Vitamin D. A guy in a purple shirt and a blue baseball cap and assorted other guys wander around. Their backs are to the camera and the bridge from which the photo was taken

Basketball isn't a thing huh?

A screenshot of the Wikipedia entry on mens Olympic basketball shows gold and silver medalists going to 1996. In 2004 Argentina won gold and Italy won silver. In all other years shown the US won gold

Every time I pass this I have feelings. Anyway. Fuck QSL.

I got this text tonight from a Democrat friend. Anyone with eyes can see what just happened.

>> What a clown show. I'm a liberal from San Francisco, I went to college in Madison in, and now I live in West LA, and even I'm livid.

Did you know that there's a ballet of Eugene Onegin? Cuz I didn't know and the Joffrey is doing it this June.

A giant poster says JOFFREY BALLET EUGENE ONEGIN, with two beautiful people, the woman looking north and the hub looking at her, possibly about to lick her

Grew up near these and was always quite impressed by them.

Townhouses on South Dorchester in varying shades of light brick. They are all similarly georgian-esque in build, and all have myriad small differences.

Happy #Caturday from Elvis, the great hunter of post it notes (and anything/everything else)

Also also! This is Extremely Accurate Birds: An Anatomically Precise Field Guide to Common Backyard Birds of North America, by Tommy Siegel

I hung out with this goose today. Photo taken when we were both watching a tour boat.

Okay at this point I think getting home mostly on time was a miracle 😅

Holy shit what a banger. Uzma Jalaluddin is amazing.

Finally, the captive audience he'd wanted.

Okay to be fair idk if this guy moves very much when I'm not home. He did spectacularly break into food on Thanksgiving but other than that 🤷🏻‍♀️

I totally stole this meme but it's kinda my vibe.

The LOTR Gimli and Legolas meme except NIMBY:
Gimli: I never thought I'd die fighting side by side with a NIMBY
Legolas: what about fighting side by side with a friend?
Gimli: as soon as we're done here I'm putting an apartment building in your back yard.

Something I would love to see people ask themselves is: why are Minneapolis and St. Paul the first places I've heard about resistance? Hell, why do I hear about Minneapolis *more than* St. Paul? What's that say about the media I consume?

If you take a gander at demographics of the cities that have been resisting the longest, you'll notice something. By which I mean: most of these areas are majority minoritized people. Major media has a white supremacy problem (and a class problem).

Whether they intend to or not, people like this are pushing propaganda for the current regime.

I'm going to pretend that this is red for the sake of the Melt the Ice hat (because 90% of my yarn is green or blue and the rest is like some variant of purple)

Apparently this guy is part of the Federalist society. And the Federalist society needs to get out of government.

On a much lighter note I had to take my cat to the vet for his pain shot + annual exam. He's doing well which is great! But also, after he got over the immense Sadness and Existential Despair, he couldn't stop bouncing around the examining room and it was kind of hilarious. #Caturday

This is such a bad headline. "Lashing out" implies temper tantrums. It implies that Halligan is, if not in the right, the one being adult. And wow, is that ever wrong. The woman has been disqualified. She was never qualified in the first place. And yet major media props her up.
