Knitted beer/drink sleeves. I originally made one for my husband, then all his friends kept seeing it and thought it was cool. Since they knit up so fast I made a few for them all this year.

The pattern is really simple:

Worsted Weight Yarn

Size 8 US double pointed needles

Cast on 40 stitches

Knit 3, purl 2, in the round for 24 rows

Row 25: Purl all stitches

Row 26: Knit 3 stitches, k2tog, rep till end

Row 27: Knit 2 stitches, k2tog, rep till end

Row 28: Knit 1 stitches, k2tog, rep till end

Row 28: k2tog till end

Break yarn and slip tail through remaining stitches. Pull the hole closed and weave in the ends.

I did add a few decorations to them. Like a faux leather piece on the bottom, and a little faux leather tag at the top. Just to give them a little something.

“You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You have to accept that you can’t change the past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally recognize that truth then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness of yourself and others. From this point you will finally be free.”

A friend told me about the Loose Ends Project and I think it sounds wonderful. I'm too new to cross-stitching to be of much help, but maybe I can dust off my crocheting skills....

Housing and Life Help

Hey everyone, for the past week, I have been in the hospital due to tachycardia and some other stress-related things. The good news is I am out and have housing. I sent the landlord everything I had and explained the situation; he was cool to work with. I still owe him about $600 (It was about 300, but I had to pay the er visit copay), and my paycheck will be less this week because of my hospital stay. I am hoping this will be the last ask for a while, so if you all can boost and share this, I’d really appreciate it. P*ypal: paypal.me/charliechains02   C*sh App: $acefluid03 0/600

Nothing yet please boost and donate if you can

Nothing yet, if I can get half of this, I can try and pawn my laptop to get the rest, so please help

What Your Period Tracker App Knows About You

Meet abortion bans' new best friend: your phone

When it comes to reproductive rights, your digital trail matters more than you think.

"News coverage of digital forensics often celebrates its role in prosecuting serious felonies. But when it comes to reproductive rights, Conti-Cook says, the same tools “will be a powerful [asset] to police and prosecutors in a more criminalized landscape” for abortion seekers." [Mother Jones]

"Unlike medical records held by doctors and hospitals, the information collected by health-focused apps isn’t covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), a 1996 federal law that limits where healthcare providers can share your health information.

That means health app makers are mostly free to do what they want with the data they collect. [...]

What’s more, even when your data is de-identified by removing identifiable information such as your name or email address, it can be combined with other information—such as your location, contacts, or unique identifiers in your phone—and traced back to you, research suggests." [Consumer Reports]

Twitter thread from user @nandoodles about men in adtech who want to sell your period app data to law enforcement:

If you don't think these people won't use your data against you, I advise you to reconsider in light of Texas's offering bounties. And that there's other states considering offering bounties and vigilantism as well.

I'm sorry, this is not fair and I know it's a pain in the ass to have to note all your info yourself in a journal, but it's better to NOT give these people another tool to exert control over the bodies of people possessing the potential (regardless of how remote) for pregnancy.

Also: support your local abortion funds. Cash is a more difficult trail to follow. https://abortionfunds.org/ways-to-give/

Babies don’t forget there’s an Etsy boycott from April 11-18 to protest the higher service fees recently instated for shop owners despite the fact that the company reported record profits last year. Etsy is usually one of my go-tos but I am absolutely going to stay off for the week. Without its vendors (many of whom are independent artists/creators) Etsy is literally nothing, and if these new policies are undermining their ability to stay on the site without risking their financial stability then they 100% deserve our support. No Etsy this week!!!
