It's been really satisfying again! (Speaking as a novice)

So after the deaths this year, I was finding no joy in knitting. Grief is funny. Complicated. I want to talk to Ben about this sweater, but he's gone. I miss my mother (and she was a hard mean woman).

But! I sat down and started up again. Both side panels, one sleeve, and the back panel are done.

A red panel of knitting sits on a table. It's the last panel!!

The Trillium is hammering this story.

"Months before he was put in charge of Ontario’s Ministry of Labour, cabinet minister David Piccini was at a Toronto Maple Leafs game in front-row seats with a director of a company his office would later give $7.5 million in taxpayer-funded grants to. #OnPoli

Labour minister was in Leafs glass seats with director of company he granted funding to

The ‘lower-scoring’ company got $7.5M of tax dollars through David Piccini’s office and is a client of the lobbyist whose Parisian wedding the minister recently attended

I would happily give Bluesky money if it meant the "team" would let this place be what it is and stop trying to destroy our community here for no apparent reason

I have several friends in Gaza that I support. Unfortunately, there is only so much I can do as one person. I will boost your request but at this time I cannot support financially. ❤️‍🩹

Hi friends. I have until October 23rd to raise the remaining $2228 for out of pocket medical costs for my third non-elective revision spinal fusion. Any continued support is appreciated.

Jay, I’m going to make an earnest appeal here. I hope you read it and consider it.

I promise: nobody read “waffles” as a lighthearted inside joke w/ the team about upcoming moderation systems. If folks are hurting your feelings, making you defensive or making things un-fun, *say that*! You can be vulnerable. But don’t fuck up the potential with petty shit when people are hurting.

New polling confirms exactly what you'd expect: Canadians want the federal government to maintain or even expand support for women and 2SLGBTQIA+ people - not slash it.

Let's make sure the Prime Minister knows where Canadians stand: www.momentumcanada.net/budget
