Some days I just have to leave it all behind and play my oboe with all the poignancy and sadness I can conjure.
I’m depressed and eating is so annoying. Does anyone else think this sometimes?

FYI :“Destruction of federal property is a federal crime. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 defines the crime as willfully injuring or committing any depredation against U.S. government property. If the damage exceeds $1k it is a felony with a fine, up to ten years in prison or both.”

Awaiting law enforcement.
Minnesotan here. Wearing a sweater right now that I knit myself and it is next level cozy and warm. Boots, socks, tights, wool skirts, hats. Just fabulous. Love it here in the North.

That would be me. I’m also quiet midday. And in the evening.
All I see on IG is knitting and oboists and it’s glorious. Weed out all the other crap.
This wins the WTAF award for the day.
Walgreens today. Looked so different. Products locked up. Empty. Only needed a few things, but would usually get a basketful of stuff. Ringing a bell & waiting for someone to come & unlock a door every time I need something is madness. I walked out without buying anything & won't be back.
Emmer can simply drive to St Paul on Saturday to see what it will really be like. The last one was less than 24 hours after the Melissa Hortman assassination & even tho we were warned not to go by the governor, between 25,000 and 80,000 ppl showed up. The Twin Cities will not disappoint.
Can't tell if Tom Emmer looks smug or supremely uncomfortable in the background of this video. Either way, he's up for re-election in November of 2026. Let's hope the people of Minnesota choose differently next time.
Hang in there! It looks quite beautiful.
Beautiful piece. May your memories of gran be a blessing.
Moody Autumn Sunday. Perfect day for knitting. And napping.

I must admit, I don’t disagree with this. Grappling with what that says about me.
Y’all. Had to put my beloved dog to sleep today and was feeling really low and sad. This thread has me laughing out loud. I needed that.
I was talking to another independent consultant today about health insurance. Her husband is also a consultant and they make good money. But they also have three kids. She’s trying to figure out if they can drop coverage altogether and just put that money in savings. Many of us are thinking this.
All I see is 4 white guys. Gah. It’s this way ALL THE TIME. I’m so sick of it.
He is eligible for the Treason Prize, however.

It's a pretty big deal that the NYC Bar Association--one of the most prominent and respected bar associations in the country--is accusing the President of ordering the "unlawful summary execution," i.e. murder--of civilians in violation of US and international law. www.nycbar.org/press-releas...
We don’t. In my company we have ppl who are learning, speaking, reading in Spanish (me, 20 years), French, Italian, & Portuguese. Coffee shop down the block has Spanish meet ups every week. Most people I know want to learn another language. Americans are diverse. And some of us are well educated.
Me encanta. Quien haya decidido elegir a Bad Bunny…simplemente perfección.

Targeting more than half the population of the US for a political reason is treason. No elected official or a member of his staff has the right to punish the American people for who they vote for. Withholding money for states that voted for Harris is tyranny and must be stopped now.

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE:

This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.
