I think the fact that pregnant people give birth and then have to have periods again weeks later is a scam.

The #1 reported reason people avoid doctor’s appointments is because they’re afraid of finding out they have a serious illness.

If you have that fear, that’s normal and you’re not alone. Also remember, there is basically no serious illness that isn’t less serious if you catch it sooner.

I don’t think enough people understand that if you made $1 a second ($86,400 a day), it would take you almost 13,000 YEARS to make as much as muskrat. Put another way, if he spent $1,000 a day ($365,000 a year) it would take over a million years to spend it all. There are no ethical billionaires.

Y’all ever take 20 minutes typing and googling (gotta make sure every angle of what I’m saying is true) and editing and rearranging a reply just to decide not to post it anyway?

I made a self-drafted, machine knit, vintage inspired, inset sleeve tee! If you don’t count the basic cami I made the week before, it’s my first self-drafted FO and machine knit FO. Gauge and steps on the Ravelry project page for anyone interested.

Americans are being told to stock up on canned food like the apocalypse is coming; meanwhile Musk, Bezos, Zuckerberg & Ellison alone have $1.1 trillion. Are Americans ever going to rise up against their oligarchs or is hurting trans people too big a priority?

Lets do it! A Knitalong to get the community going here on @bsky.app!

Start something new (or pick up an old project) using blue yarn, any shade and use the #SkyKAL hashtag to post progress or finished projects. We will let it roll until the end of February. To keep things simple. See comments…

Turns out the “lab mix” puppy we adopted end of November is 0% lab! 😂 it explains why he’s so little and his silly ears.
