Looking to switch one of my book clubs from discord to another service. Throw some suggestions at me, because I'll be damned if I'm going to be submitting to their age verification.

Looking for a new book club?
I run TWO of them!
If you want something more laid back, set in a casual atmosphere? Check out OOPS. Want something a little more Leftist with strong stances against AI and shitty people? Check out BtC!

The crowd roared to welcome Team Ukraine to the Olympics.
Luckily the crowd also roared to welcome Team USA and then booed Vance when they showed him on screen, this is the way.
Thank you Italy.

Did any of y'all know that I sometimes make and publish patterns?
This one is NOW FREE for a limited time, and works up fast in any bulky (#5) weight yarn. Go grab it, make a few, and send em off to wherever the icy-est place is you know.

This shouldn't have to be said but for some of you this is your first time crafting for protesters:
Make it plain. If you're making scarves or hats, use solid colors and simple patterns. Nothing identifiable in a crowd, and nothing to link it back to you.

If you're knitting some red hats right now, remember to *wear them* while you're out doing the good work and causing the good trouble. Otherwise, you're just knitting a hat and you could just donate five bucks to any group you please.

This is your morning reminder:
You matter. You're worth showing up for. Drink some water. Read a good book. Get off the clock app. And as always, fuck ICE.

This is the man ICE executed for filming them. He has a cell phone in his hand, not a gun. When we learn his name, never forget it. He was a brave observer and another innocent victim of the Trump regime.
