I’m really enjoying the process of crocheting. Thanks to adhd, however, I keep thinking that I’m following a pattern exactly and yet have made 3 very different sized cats…😑

I’m pretty sure I missed a stitch or two so they’re a little wonky. But I’m still quite happy with how these two cute little cat loafs for my nieces turned out.

The absolute hubris of me deciding that my first ever crochet project would be a blanket that requires ONE HUNDRED granny squares. What was I thinking? 🥲

A federal judge says he will order the release of over 600 people who have been detained by ice on bond. If it’s within your means consider donating to the Midwest Immigration Bond Fund. We will need to raise a lot of money to get everyone home. www.mibfc.org

This summer I helped my mom clean out my grandma’s art studio. I ended up leaving with a few of her crochet hooks with the goal of learning how to make a granny square and 5 months later, I finally did. Gotta say, learning to do handwork in this era of mass vomited AI slop feels very, very healing.

Spent the afternoon drawing birds at the Field Museum and I have two highlights: 1. When a bunch of kids on class trip stopped to tell me “you draw good!” 2. The happiest face I got when one kid told me she likes drawing anime and I flipped my sketch book open to a drawing of Sailor Jupiter

Uday & his family are living on the streets in Gaza City where the iof is continuing a ground invasion. They need to get out now but do not have the $ for transportation or a tent. If you have anything you can spare, please help them out. The situation is desperate. Https://www.tinyurl.com/udayfund

I know you are seeing an overwhelming number of asks and the need in Gaza is overwhelming. But it’s countless donations some big, some just a few dollars, that have helped Uday and his family survive the last 23 months of hell. chuffed.org/project/uday...
![A photo of a 19 year old young man, Uday, who has light brown skin and short black hair, wearing a bright blue shirt and standing in front of the remains of a building in Gaza. Black text on a pink background reads “Help a family of seven stay alive in Gaza.
My friend Oday is the eldest of five siblings. His family have lost their home and income due to the violent occupation and genocide in Gaza. They are currently sheltered in a place where the occupation forces are advancing and there is constant bombing. They are in danger every day.
Your money will help Oday's family pay for travel costs to evacuate South, a tent to live in, and food. All these things are extremely expensive due to scarce supplies coming into Gaza, and huge commision costs.
