Youngest is failing her first semester of college. She has some disabilities: EDS hypermobility, chiari type 1 and is autistic. We knew it would be a challenge, and it's also not the end of the world.

Any advice on how to encourage her to find a Plan B in life?

Anyone ever take a few weeks to get around to setting up a holiday tree, and then actually decorating it?

I see you, because we are alike. Seasonal Affective Disorder plays a part in this.

Wayment. Actually, the more I think about it, I'm frustrated by this piece. What's the author's point in echoing a talking point that affirmative action was bad because white people wouldn't respect black people in "white spaces," if not appeasement?

A whole different thread. 🧵

My Hot Take: Decades later this man is feeling the effects of this. Again, go where you're celebrated and not tolerated.

Today was Election Day across the country. In a number of key state elections, voters rejected the extremism of MAGA Republicans and backed Democrats and Democratic policies. Four of the most closely watched races were in Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.

Here's the current mock rib section of the scarf/shawl completed.
I had to take a break this past week because of a subluxing finger joint and then getting my fall vaccinations for COVID, flu, and shingles.

This crossed knots pattern drapes so nicely. Just a few more repeats of the 8-row pattern and I can work on another striped section. #knitting #spoutibleknits #spoutiblemakes #hobbies #knit

Almost finished with the next section, a Swedish dot pattern. This was fun. ❤️ #knitting #SpoutibleMakes #scarf

Knitted fabric in dark gray with a beige pattern called Swedish dot. Looks a bit like a cursive letter m and underscore repeating on the gray background.

At some point, we need to question/ re-write how the secret svc operates. They should have an obligation to report when America's secrets are in danger by their protectee. Let him cheat, be a closeted drug user, or have other proclivities... but report every time he subverts, national security.

Making more progress on the scarf/shawl. This red "slices" section was a little tricky at first, and I had to frog and start over. After that, I added a lifeline, which I'll reinsert in the current top row. #Knitting #spoutibleknitting #SpoutibleMakes
