You solicited opinions from other knitters on social media, GHC. That's what "Thoughts?" means at the end of a post on social media, amirite? 🤷‍♀️🧶

That's perfect, i mean, purrfect!

Ladder back and fix it, my friend.

All but one of the rhesus monkeys that escaped from an overturned truck in Jasper County were euthanized, according to officials."

You are going to write a book about this incident, aren't you?

NBD if you were going to 🐸 it anyway, though. The decision has been helped along by the moths. 🤷‍♀️🧶

The book "Nobody's Girl" has been out for one week. This seems a rapid-response level action for a county library to take, but huzzah for the librarians who saw this and acted.
The people in the US want our government to release the Epstein files.
The information needs to be out.

💙📚 While I'm on a tear with my reading recommendations, I'll share this info from my county library's On Hold wait list update.

➡️ Your library has acquired 23 more copies ...

If you think people are not interested in the government releasing the Epstein files, you are fooling yourselves. 🧵 1/2

A screenshot shot showing an update from my local county library. They have acquired 23 more copies of the book.

Please note that Virginia Guiffre's book "Nobody's Girl" was released one week ago today.

There is a demand for her story, and libraries are allocating county funds to meet the demand.

For all of the current and former English majors and anyone who loves books and words, this is a lovely, beautifully written book that starts out with words on slips of paper in cubbyholes of a garden shed in Oxford, UK. It tells the story of the people who gave us the OED. Enjoy this treat.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

A must read with clear writing on moving the big Carrier Strike Group from a man who clearly states, "I'm not a Navy guy."
(No, folks, he's an Army guy.)
Read it to find out what's at stake.
