Charlie Kirk, Redeemed: A Political Class Finds Its Lost Cause By ignoring the rhetoric and actions of the Turning Point USA founder, pundits and politicians are sanitizing his legacy.

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics.

The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

Back in grade school I saw this cover in the grocery store, and it stopped me in my tracks. I immediately knew I had to read this book.

A notebook with a diagram of four pink and orange squares with a math symbol in each square. On top of the notebook a piece of tunesian crochet reproducing the diagram. The crochet is halfway done.

I'm about halfway through this intarsia tunesian crochet project. It will look a lot better after blocking.

I finished up this mosaic crochet potholder. The pattern is Lotti Potholder by Suzanne Anacker.

Hank of hand spun yarn in various shades purple all twisted together.

I finally finished plying some border leicester wool that I dyed and spun almost a year ago.

A cart with wire shelves holds an e-spinner (EEW 6.0) on the top shelf and wire baskets full of jade green fluffy wool on the second shelf.

First spinning project using my new wool combs and hackle.

I've finished the mosaic crochet potholder for my niece. She loves warm colors.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Beautiful color!

I'm glad you are able to help them - what an ordeal!

I took a break from my weaving project to spin up a trans pride braid. I really like how it came out. This yarn will probably become a hat.

The hank on the lower right is the one I plied in the wrong direction. It's like a spring.

Three hanks of natural white yarn sitting next to an EEW 6.0 in front of a window. One hank is super curly because I plied it in the wrong direction.

I ran out of white yarn for my project, so I went back to my border leicester fleece to spin some more.

When I first started plying the singles I couldn't figure out why they were so dang unmanageable until I noticed I forgot to change direction on my EEW.

I love these colors and the mushrooms and pumpkins!

Thank you!

Fabric made of 4 by 6 handwoven squares draped across the back of a couch. At one end pink, purple blue yarn predominates. The squares feature more white until the other end is completely white.

I finished 24 squares made via continuous strand weaving. I've crocheted them together to see how they look.

I find spinning very soothing. I hope you enjoy it.

Handwoven replacement square pinned down to a blocking mat, 6.5 inches on a side. Colors are white and pink, purple blue.

Felted square pinned down to a blocking mat, 5 inches on a side. Colors are white and pink.

I made an error in one of my squares, so I replaced it. As an experiment I tried felting the square with the error to see how much it would shrink. You can see in the pictures below that it went from 6.5 inches on a side down to 5 inches on a side

Woven square of white yarn and pink, purple, and blue yarn that is ruffled like a potato chip

Here is the finished square prior to blocking. After blocking that potato chip shape flattens right out.

Beautiful!

Wooden square frame with alternating black and white nails all around. Yarn is woven on the bias in white and marled pink and purple.

What lovely colors!

Sounds wonderful!

Are you going to use them together in a project?

A hank of deep pine green yarn. The yarn is thin 2 ply with a lustrous quality.

I finished another spin. This one is also Wensleydale wool.

These are beautiful!

That's really cool. I never considered fabric could be shaped this way.

Beautiful work!
