Pro-democracy. Retired. Did ESL w/ adult immigrants, IC design & mfg, profit & nonprofit radio. Now: volunteer for good govt, hubby of 40+ years, 2 black cats, Philly, knitting, golf, nature, nonviolence, systems thinker, my ism is “no isms", Autistic.
- I think the purge at #WaPo may backfire. That former institution was already wobbling and ready to collapse. True journalists who know their role in a democracy will find each other and find a way. I think it’s already happening. Watch where they go (have gone) and support them.
- I had a busy week helping family deal with “stuff”. Not as much knitting as I would like but this is definitely a project that stands up to interruptions, ha ha! Just got home and getting close to the amusing part of the project … 😁 #knitting #knitsky 🧶
- Encouraging others to change their minds … nonviolence.
- Oh gosh, busy week! Here are some mittens for this week’s #showmeyourknits theme of “gray”. These were made for a very good friend. It’s the Sydänmaa Mittens (free on Ravelry!) by Hanna Leväniemi made with Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted. 🧶 #knitting #knitsky
- A good time to support your local food bank, pantry, or free fridge however you can. They might be swamped. 😞
- New SNAP work requirements set to go into effect on Feb. 1 with millions at risk of losing benefits Estimates suggest more than 2 million Americans could lose SNAP benefits. abcnews.go.com/US/new-snap-...
- One guaranteed way to get my “rest and digest” system going is to listen to my mom practicing piano. I don’t care if it’s scales or whatever! It tells me I’m safe and loved. Mom has told me that the gentle clicking of my #knitting needles does the same for her. 🥰 #knitting #knitsky 🧶
- “It’s not boring.” A favorite role from a smart & funny woman. Sad to know she’s gone. 😕
