BlueSky doesn't allow enough characters for me to go into depth. If you have a question, please ask.
In short, it was a 'wing it' attempt at Fair Isle for a gift for a relative. I extended the background color to the sides, then seamed the center and edge-stitched.

I don't think Mamdani is role-playing. No one can hold a cat's rump that confidently unless they know how. I think he genuinely likes NYC and the people in it.
I think it's that confidence in himself that Trump reacted to. Trump has bravado, not confidence in himself, and he was in awe. (1/2)

So much time and taxpayer money wasted ... and all to make themselves look like fools.
This will make a great short play someday, though. The script is already written.

Let's add credit where it's due. Those are the final lines from current NYTimes coverage.
"Joining the No Kings protest, he said, made him feel less alone.
“For me to come out, a normal, small person like me, and see all of this, it’s really great,” he said."

This is my sign. It's meta, but think of all of those identical MAGA signs that attendees are given to hold up. I loved seeing the variety and creativity at the June No Kings rally, and I'm sure I'll see more of the same.

I don't have an inflatable frog costume but I'm dusting off a costume from years ago that seems apt*. If you have anything that's humorous and could be seen as topical, go for it! It's almost Halloween anyway.
