I wonder if all those dyers who’ve always remained silent under the adage of ‘I don’t mix politics with business’ realize that if people can’t afford to eat, they’re definitely not buying your damn yarn.

More before and after photos of my first time with visible mending. I used the parachute stitch for the torn pants seams.

I did some visible mending this last week to repair a couple of my favorite pants!
Here’s some before, during, and after (in the next posts) photos of making these pants last another few years!

According to this NYT article, calls to congress have gone up from 40 per second to 1600, a 3900% increase. Please keep your foot on the pedal folks - keep calling, tell them no one voted for Musk and we DON'T WANT RFK!!!

Elon Musk has reportedly spent $40M on a series of Superbowl ads airing tonight attacking USAID's "wasteful spending." We may not have millions of dollars but between all of us, we do have a massive global network.

Here are just a few ways USAID could have spent $40M:

Save Foreign Aid
Elon Musk reportedly spent $40 million dollars on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID wasteful. Here are just a few ways we would’ve spent $40M: 🏈Purchased life-saving HIV treatment from American pharmaceutical companies to keep 1,060,000 million people alive for one year 🏈Bought enough emergency food aid products made in Rhode Island and Georgia to treat 800,000 severely malnourished children 🏈Slowed the flow of migrants to our borders by providing job training to 50,000 people in Central America 🏈Protected 30,000,000 football fields of tropical forest in Africa, preventing China and Russia from exploiting timber and critical minerals that fuel our world 🏈Saved the lives of 25 million children suffering from severe malaria. We think this one has value on its own but maybe Musk would disagree This Super Bowl Sunday, tell Congress to #saveforeignaid and #standwithUSAID

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

We're hearing that people are getting aggressive with our plow drivers - honking, getting close to them, yelling at them to speed up.

We're not going slow just to make your commute miserable. We're going slow because slow travel prevents scatter of material and keeps more of it on the roadway.
