...but have they tried playing Jackie Wilson and saying supportive, nurturing things to the water?

(This is a Maintenance Phase joke, mostly for @holliewhatever.bsky.social's benefit since the podcast doesn't appear to have a bluesky account.)

What better way to end my Spin the Rainbow quest than spinning a rainbow?

Yay! Thanks. It's my first time switching over to iroiro dye, which is way brighter than the ion I previously used.

There are a lot of people who previously thought differing politics shouldn't be a deal breaker, and the price those people are paying for that decision is that their support system is filled with people who disgust them, now that push is coming to shove.

The biggest thing: only forming relationships, whether romantic or platonic, with people who share my values. When the political climate stresses me out, my people and I can run towards each other and commiserate.

My (genuine, not ironic) favorite part of this is that they are so committed to the purity of the joke that they've left off their logo or branding of any kind that would promote the show when people wear them.

My first Shaniko wool... I absolutely went out and grabbed some more! So far, all my skeins are coming out close to the same weight. I might need to plan a large project for them all.
