Phone is definitely on it's last legs.
If I up and disappear for a few months, means it's died and I'm still saving for a replacement.

Salvation Army seen feeding ICE today. For anyone who doesn't already know about their bigotry, here is more, No need to give them your money this Christmas, or ever.

It’s dinner time for the police. Appears to be pizza from a Salvation Army van.

Broadview’s “free speech” curfew starts soon, at 6pm.

YA or "young adult" books is a misleading way to describe most novels in the genre. Many of them have been published within the last year, making them baby books, if anything

I'm nearly done with the cowl. I love the way it's shaping up. I can't say I'm looking forward to weaving in all the ends though 😂🧶

#crochetsky #crochet #interlockingcrochet #crochetersofbluesky #handdyed #indieyarn #moonlightfibre #yarnsky

An interlocking crochet cowl with a repeating pattern of rows of crosses and boxes. The main colour, so the colour outlining the crosses and boxes, is white. Each pattern repeat is worked in a different colour to form a gradient: from bottom up, neon pink, violet, purple-violet, light blue, aqua light blue, then the same in reverse. The cowl has been worked up to the purple violet on the reverse side of the gradient. A tied-off bundle of loose ends can be seen poking out the bottom of the cowl.

Really interesting thread here

It occurs to me that the Doctor's polyethnic identity in recent times recontextualises Peter Davison's casting in quite an interesting way.
(For context, although you'd be unlikely to guess it by looking at him, Davison's paternal family is Guyanese. He has close relatives who are visibly Black.)

Peter Davison, a fair-skinned blond man, as the fifth Doctor, circa 1982.

Don't let your past define you.
Let your future deeds define you, and make sure they include things like "talons," "fangs," and "moss draped horror terrifies townsfolk away from the ragged edge of the forest."

This is the Let It Snow Cowl by Crochet Highway in Cosmic Colour Collection (20g mini skeins) and Snow Drop by @moonlightfibre.bsky.social. I took these in the knit lounge at Knit+Stitch. 🧶

An interlocking crochet cowl with white as the base colour and each cross and box pattern repeat in a different colour (neon pink, violet, a more purple violet, light blue, and a more aqua light blue). It's laid on a white table with a stack of business cards for Stephen and Penelope Amsterdam (Stephen West's yarn shop) and a sign that says "one more row" (partially cut off).

Meet my newest creation Edith the Moth Phantom! I designed and hand-sewed her. She enjoys singing sea shanties with her cryptid band. They perform primarily for the moon. She also likes appearing to travelers as good or bad omens, depending on her mood.

jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of my fabric art moth phantom. She's a white moth phantom with a gray face, large twinkly black eyes, and a little frown. She has curly white antennae. There are black and gray oval markings on her wings. There's a beautiful galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's another lovely pic of Edith. In this one, she's resting on my palm.
