Crochet Time!

My crochet and my life

I love local news in my medium sized city because wtf do you mean the headlines today were just:

City is a post apocalyptic hellscape thanks to wildfire smoke. But at least the temperatures are cooler!

Local politician accidentally approved policy he said he would veto, imposing term limits on himself (this is good and very funny actually)

The bird will thaw and be freed from his ice prison tomorrow

[counting-stitches]

Somehow these are all making national news and it’s so fucking funny to hear people outside of here talk about my failson (affectionate) city.

Yes the bird was freed but also the event got broken up by the cops

In honor of pride month, today I drove a U-Haul while wearing cargo pants to remember my lesbian heritage

Going home to visit my parents for the weekend and suddenly I’m 17 (derogatory) again

mad about laila edwards being 4OA? turn that frustration into effort and donate to a charity to help uplift black women in hockey! i donated to black girl hockey club, but feel free to add any other organizations benefiting women of color in sports!

pwhl: get a bestie that waits side stage to see you get drafted 🥹

[notatrixieblog]

imagining the game between boston (all defense) and ny (no goalie) and i can't stop laughing

[mikerowave-writes]

every woman in the pwhl draft has the softest voice and the kindest eyes and then you go watch their college highlights reel and its like *commits war crime* *kills a freshman* *smashes someone like a pancake*

Went to Pride yesterday and got reminded of one of the funniest pieces of local drama happening here. Because like how do you fuck up building an AQUARIUM so badly that literally everyone has beef with it. Bipartisan hate for it and somehow none of the arguments are even about the ethics of aquariums as a concept, just the sheer amount of corruption and embezzlement being used to fund it

Also it’s lowkey kinda ugly

I love my very serious adult job. Had a design review today for a very large and critical mechanical system that ended with my boss’s boss saying “good job! Now let’s all get ice cream before our next meeting” and you know what, we all went and got some free ice cream from the break room and it was delicious

No you get it. This is it.

Poulin was 18 at her first olympics. Team canada wanted her to stay with a host family during training because she had never lived on her own before. So caroline ouellette, charline labonté, and kim st-pierre took in this teenage prodigy so she'd have exactly the mentors she needed, and 20 years later poulin is a five-time olympic medalist, captain of team canada, and captain of a champion team in a women's professional hockey league bigger than anything her mentors had. And caroline is on the ice to celebrate with her and be part of the future she worked for.

I love women supporting and uplifting and mentoring and creating the next generation of groundbreaking women in sports, and I love it when they're lesbians.

"what do you do for a living?" Oh I am a professional hopeless romantic and I read books and cry in my free time.

If I ever knit, tat, or crochet something for you, just know that not only are you getting the item I made, you are also getting a piece of me. I mean that in the grandiose metaphorical sense and, unfortunately, also very literally. I apologize for the hair.

They weren’t lying when they said that as an adult you have to fight for your life to practice your hobbies

[stuckinapril]

They also weren’t lying when they said that when you fail to do so your soul shrivels up inside your body and dies
