Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

Can I change a sport weight colorwork sweater to dk 🤔 will my frustration make me felt superwash?
Graham Greene was one of those actors whose presence was absolutely, 100% guaranteed to make whatever movie or TV show he was in better. He added instant gravitas and authority, reliable stealthy humor and depth beyond whatever was on the page. Should've been Emmy nominated for "Reservation Dogs."
Sad to hear that Graham Greene has died at 73 years old Such an amazing versatile actor with over 188 credits to his name. In addition to writing, producing & soundtrack. He won a Grammy in 2000 for the best spoken word album for children for his work on Listen to the Storyteller. RIP Graham 💔
New album! Haven't heard it yet tho
I know how you feel abt crafting. How do you feel abt horror?
YES, SORRY I WAS SPIRALING. You should finish the shawl before another cast on. Think of the accomplishment! And you'll be able to WEAR IT
I have 3 sweaters that Im at sleeves on - I prefer to the do the sleeves before the rest of the body - and its not going well! Rather, one I have like 3 in of sleeve and 1 is ready for me to start the sleeves & the other I started another ball on the body to split sleeves IT'S ALL VERY COMPLICATED
Immediately thought of you @tuphlos.bsky.social bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
*bows*
thank you thank you! Can I interest you in a partially worked hat? Or shawl? sweater? I've got all weights except for Sport on the go!
okay but WHAT are you doing over there? I counted and I have 24 things on the needles. I WANT a new cast on but I don't even know where some of my needles are. I mean I'm def casting on SOMETHING new this month. But I think I should try to finish something ....maybe?
YIKES! I hope you figure it out. My current method seems to be I have to restart 3 times. It's not efficient but it's what I've got right now.
it made me realize i have WAY more cables than I thought. I was literally about to buy more. I even got out the label maker to label the cables. I got a case but I'm not sure I love it. And I still need to figure out what to do with double points & the fixed circulars but it's SOMETHING
Survival horror in a craft store where the MC has to stab someone with a knitting needle - this is right in the blurb - I mean d dont read much horror buuuuuut bookshop.org/p/books/craf...
I did not cast on a new project. Instead of cleaned up & labeled all my interchangeable needles and cables not currently in WIPs. Please clap.
BABES!!! Dont forget your Hoopla Downloads reset to tomorrow. I've been rereading Sarah Graves Home Repair is Homicide series - i read them when they initially came out early 2000s set in small town Maine

HOOPLA CHECKOUT DAY Remember, Hoopla pays artists when books are checked out. May I recommend @suleikhasnyder.bsky.social, @premeemohamed.com, and @bookjockeyalex.bsky.social? That's who I have checked out right now.
Everyone on the internet:
If you missed the live recording of the Murderbot interview episode at WorldCon, you can watch it here:
I don't understand & I'm gutted watching ppl discover their trust was misplaced and their books were not secure like they thought
Look i know I'm barely 1/90 of an author these days but I cannot believe the BS of these publishers to failing to register copyright So now authors have to write the books & solo promo the book & also double check if you did your job RE:copyright while you pay them 87 months after the book was sold
Time for an end-of-month rattling of the tin cup! My diverse, sexy, self-published books range in price from 99 cents to $2.99. You're bound to find something you like! #romancelandia Suleikha: www.suleikhasnyder.com/p/bookshelf.... Kali Decker: www.suleikhasnyder.com/p/the-kali-d...
People enjoying their hobbies isn’t preventing revolution; lack of solidarity is (strike funds, etc.) and the fact most people live hand to mouth. Practicing joy is a revolutionary act under fascism. Do the things you love and help your neighbours.

FYI, Carina/Harlequin authors, they didn't register my copyrights. Make sure they registered yours.
So they don't have a shell? Or they do & those are ok to eat?
Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.
Question- you shell pumpkin seeds before you eat them? I don't know how that works
Today is the day authors are learning how many of their publishers straight up blew off registering copyright and I feel like that deserves a class action suit of its own if it costs everyone their settlement money from the Anthropic suit... 😒🤬
Sad i had oatmeal instead of pumpkin donuts today
Girl I'm TIRED
3. Dunkin has PUMPKIN Kcups. These are NOT pumpkin spice but pumpkin. They're DELICIOUS & I've only found them in Dunkin & not at grocery stores
Pumpkin is back for those that celebrate. This is where I remind you that 1. If you're not a pumpkin or pumpkin spice lover that's OK. There's no Pumpkin Mafia who will force you 2. Let ppl enjoy things! It literally doesn't hurt you if I eat 3 pumpkin donuts. Mind yo biz!
Okay, authors, your *other* infuriating admin task for the day is contacting everyone who publishes you in the US (including non US publishers with WEL rights etc) and telling them to sort their act out. This just is not okay.
Re-upping this again, please spread far and wide:
I don't actually aim to ruin anything, but Linus has it right: "IF IT CAN BE DESTROYED BY THE TRUTH, IT DESERVES TO BE DESTROYED BY THE TRUTH"
I wish I could craft quicker

There are tons of graphic novels, academic papers, film and TV scripts, & prose novels/nonfiction on the LibGen list Anthropic used. As settlement approaches, make it easy for the class action lawyers to contact you! Here’s how Part 1: is your work in Libgen? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

I just learned that Ganymede orbits Jupiter every SEVEN DAYS and I cannot compute. Our Moon takes a month to orbit our comparatively dinky planet and Ganymede's just winging around a gas giant 1000x our size every WEEK
I'm once again experiencing FACE HIVES & would like to peel my face off but I won't. I really need it to be 5pm
Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

Torch the business, jail the CEO, sanction the devs. “Safety training may degrade” what a crock of shit
Dear journalists: The President has not fired Lisa Cook. The President is *trying* to illegally fire her. Your words shape people’s reality. Please be accurate in your reporting.

Don’t be afraid to share your writing. There are six Sharknado movies.
Ok You go buy the yarn - Comfy in Rosehip, 10 balls same dye lot. Then knit 1/3 of the Sweet V Sweater & send that to me. I'll wait here.
And I'm still not done. I just stopped cuz i was feeling so deflated
Make it a three-peat
I'm personally using enough library resources to be 3 ppl - between print, Libby, Hoopla & Boundless I've got 40 titles checked out & I always feel guilty for DNF-ing (especially hoopla titles) or renewing But then i also think that I have coworkers who don't use the library at all so it evens out
Hey, as a librarian I need to tell you: Our funding depends on usage. So go ahead and check out that book even if you don't think you'll finish it. No one will know. Check out that DVD even though you might not like it. Get ambitious in your quest for knowledge.
I know arson isn't the answer. I also know buying more yarn isn't the answer - I absolutely hate this sweater. But also this is going to take me hooooouuuurrrrs. I'm hoping after to get out of the lace section it'll get easier or quicker. But this lace panel is like 4 inches?!
Oh I know abt book culling. But again that's a diff term.
I'M TIRED OF THIS GRANDPA!
I'm currently unraveling a sweater i made outta Knitpicks Comfy. The balls have like 110 yards when knitting but unraveling it's 400 yards a ball easy. This is an awful time. 300/10 do not recommend
Hmmmm
Just wanted to say this was awesome (to offer) & impressive
Oh I know you do collection development but I've always thought of it as ADDING & not subtracting So I was like are ppl sending Please baby baby please msgs to try to get you to add things?!
It's a knee length skirt. Does that change your thought 👀
Ahhhhhh! Definitely not what i thought it was 🤔
*raises hand* What's a request for reconsideration (if it's not rude to ask)?
I have not! I don't know anyone who has either
Should it be navy blue or olive green 🤔
things were better when the computer lived in its own specific room and you only went in there sometimes
Quiz from God (aka Korean CSI) was on Netflix & then disappeared in a smoke & has been missing in action for years. Roku has S2 - 4 for those of us who didn't get to finish before it got yoinked.
for the romance girlies who love a smol/tol pairing, I would like to remind you that when one person is 6’3” and the other is 5’1” this is what that height difference is gonna look like. adjust your mental pictures accordingly lmao
I've decided that the Finlay Donovan books are Cozy Thrillers- we're running for our lives, we know where the danger (mostly) is coming from -but there are still hijinks & humor. There are dead bodies but we're probably going to have wise cracks as well & found family warm & fuzzies Cozy Thrillers
