Cat bed complete! Now to see if he’ll use it… Took just over 4 hrs to crochet and is 16” across inside. This was just the quick and easy break from my other WIPS that I needed 🧶

Recently I met a drum and bass DJ who'd opened a supermarket.

It was an Aldi but Goldie.

If you've been wanting to make a Melt the ICE hat in Tunisian crochet, now you can.

It's made sideways with a straight hook, no short rows (although if you want one with short rows you can try the elf hat).

All proceeds go to help those affected by the raids. payhip.com/b/rn5xk

This is excellent 👌🏻
As the world stands with the people of Minneapolis the Trump regime continues to pedal lies about domestic terrorists -
slaughtering US citizens in the name of normalizing state violence.

It’s like Felix knew (maybe me being up and showered so early tipped him off 😬) and he hid under the bed. All attempts to lure him out for treats have failed so I’ve missed my appointment 😞 Ugh…
Ok. I’d better get to bed. Tomorrow I have to get Felix into the carrier for his vaccination appointment at PDSA at 11am. Last time I tried to get him in the carrier it took me 3 hours (and almost 19 pace points on Visible*) so I am understandably not looking forward to it. Gulp…

They seem real to me. But I'm just some guy who likes seeing ICE tail lights get kicked.
@captaindisillusion.bsky.social Any thoughts on the recent videos of Alex Pretti kicking the taillight off an SUV? There's multiple angles, but the whole thing looks so uncanny.

Side note, kicking a tail light does not justify a death sentence more than a week later.

This guy's good. If you want to skip straight to the part where he talks about ICE, then it begins at 23 minutes in.

Final solar panel tally for today was 3.1 kWh! 🎉

(remind me of this in November when I think 3kWh is a very low yield hehe)
Ooh ooh! Just exceeded 2kWh for the first time in a single day from the solar panels 😁 I wonder how much they’ll produce for the day. We’ve had hardly anything for the past week because of awful weather so it’s good to see them doing their thing again!

Typical Tories. Do they really thing the SCP and disability payments are enough to make people not want to bother looking for a job? Having kids and being disabled are expensive things!! 😠
