I re-upped my Instant Fan Club for my longest term favorite band a few months ago and just got my package today and I am so happy… and not just because I got a literal cape (which I am wearing now). The tiny albums have NFC tech that pulls up the album. #youmustbethinkingofsomeotherband

I swear there was an episode of Quincy about water intoxication, but I didn’t see it on a rewatch and can’t find it thru Google. I must have made it up, but it sure feels like I didn’t.

I don’t write, but I own a yarn store. My store is covered in rainbows and has the progressive pride flag up front. I buy my specialty yarn from LGBTQ, BIPOC, and local dyers. And I have anti terf signage. Not everyone is my customer.

A bit more progress on my Sweeney Todd cross stitch. I worked on it for about 4 hours on Wednesday and my hands and wrists still hurt, so I’m taking a little break from cross stitch and reminding myself that I have a 2 hour limit on repetitive motions for a reason.

Work in progress cross stitch of the letters LONDON in 4 shades of red from light to dark top to bottom on black background.   There are words in negative space that read “THERE’S A HOLE IN THE WORLD LIKE A GREAT BLACK PIT AND THE VERMIN OF THE WORLD INHABIT IT AND ITS MORALS AREN’T WORTH WHAT A PIG COULD SPIT AND IT GOES BY THE NAME OF LONDON AT THE TOP OF THE HOLE SIT THE PRIVILEGED FEW MAKING MOCK OF THE

I taught an experienced crocheter with dyslexia to read patterns. I taught a new teen age knitter to read patterns. I hung out with someone in recovery who I taught to knit a month ago. This is why I opened a yarn store. 2/2

I spent 4 hours at my yarn store tonight. I sold yarn to a mother and daughter, with a dad who was interested and supportive hanging out and asking questions. I taught 2 young sisters to chain and single crochet. 1/2

The mother of the teenager handcuffed and threatened with jail for sleeping during a field trip says her daughter was likely tired because their family does not have a permanent place to stay “We have to bounce around currently because we don't have a permanent address.”

Teen handcuffed after sleeping in Detroit court tired due to no permanent home, mom says

I still remember when I was a wunderkind at work. I was a mid level dev at 24 and all but maxed out my corporate promotions by 30. I’m now in my 50s, and have been FT WFH for over 15 years and forget that I am now old. The grand baby coming this fall should help that.

A step back from my openly political posts to an art post. But, since art is politcal… Some more progress on my cross stitch of LONDON, with the lyrics inside the red letters as unstitched bits of black. Pattern by Taylor and Cromwell.
