Clicks = money. Also I'm sure the Dunning Kruger effect is at play as well. Me, I've knitted for 20 years and embrace the Socratic belief that the only thing I know is that I don't know anything πŸ˜† I'm just having fun while I'm here.

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

To be fair, I also often ask myself why am I on social media? πŸ˜† It's certainly not my mental health. 🀦😬

Am I losing it or does this sound like a skit that would be part of a 1950s Gene Kelly/Donald O'Connor musical where 1 declares himself to be king of coffee & they use props around their cafe to make him look like a king while they sing & dance about it. Also somehow it involves impressing a dame?πŸ€”

Omg, finally finished a huge project at work. So relieved. So exhausted. So ready for a 3 day vacation with time for knitting. But that's next week, for now, we dance! #knitlife #knittersofbluesky

I adore my knitting bag (a gift from family in Japan). It's perfect. What's inside? 2 crochet hooks, 3 darning needles, 1 row counter, 2 pairs stitch stoppers, metal ring w/ stitch markers, ruler, 2 needle sizers, & 1 rubber thimble. What's in your kit? #knittersofbluesky #tricot #knitlife #knitting

And as always, I'm already lining up plans for my next project (the final cowl, for now). This will be for my little SIL. She's moving to a slightly colder part of the state - hard 2 do, our entire state is cold, but add a lake and voila, enjoy shoveling! #knitlife #tricot #knittersofbluesky #alpaca

On my needles: another cowl in my quest to decrease my stash and clothe all my friends in wool this winter. πŸ˜† It's coming along, quite please with all of the cowls I've done so far. Hoping to have this done by next weekend. #knitting #knitlife #knittersofbluesky #wool #tricot

I think I just want to stare at my dogs tonight. I cannot fathom other humans this evening. Not after the comments I saw on our local news about Iran. I try to remind myself that they often are fed a diet of BS to cloud their judgement, but that's not helping today #dogtherapy #dogsofblueaky #puggle

I hope you heal fast and also end up crafting amazing zingers while you heal :)

Oh muscle relaxers. I don't think they kept my head clear the one time I needed to take them. Made me loopy as hell, but really funny. My husband should have taken me to open mic night, I could have snagged a Netflix special with the shit I was spitting out that night laying on my back on the floor

We're all watching our allergies take off one by one, getting a jump on spring I guess. But for a while there we were playing, "is it a cold or is it allergies!?" Such a fun game.

Ugh once again @bsky.app I'm begging you, let us edit our posts. Predictive text sucks so hard these days. I clearly typed "in" then hit post, next thing I know it says "I'm" instead. Is it so bad to let people progress their stuff afterwards too? Let people fix their mistakes.

If you enjoyed Bertie Carvel's performance I'm #AKOTSK may I suggest to you his role as the titular Jonathan Strange in "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norell." I first noticed him here & he did not disappoint. And who doesn't love a story about magic in the Napoleonic wars (& more) time for a rewatch!

Bertie can act, man. You should see him as Jonathan strange. Dude makes you notice his characters ❀️

Ill grant that some younger fans that grew up with them adore them & so we shouldn't just Disney vault them, but myself, I pretend that it goes Andor, Rogue One, the original trilogy & then heir to the empire Timothy Zahn books and I'm done. I'll keep watching to see if new stuff works, but I'm good

When I hear him talk I find myself thinking, do his followers not have children in their lives? He sounds exactly like my 7 year old when he's lying through his teeth and trying desperately to save his ass. Do they implicitly believe the shit their kids say too? He's not even a good con man. Wtf?

Anyway to the original question, this makes Luke a nobody in royal circles. He's still a war hero, and a Jedi legend. Now Lone star, he's an honest to God Prince! πŸ˜‚

And this is where I get foggy as I disike the prequels and never bothered with revisiting that world, but isn't palpatine a worm tongue like advisor/senator who is kind of manipulating those queens? Sure they're smart, but they're still little girls. And this is giving me a grooming vibe now. Ew.

Man so many answers here. I always thought it was pretty clear: Leia (adopted) is a princess. Her twin brother was not adopted by the same people and has 0 connection to that line of succession. As for naboo, the planet elects preteen/teen girls for 2 years. And had limited power.

I can't decide if Andrade is late to an audition for the financebro "bube" guy in a community theater production of Die Hard or a slimey get away driver in a guy Ritchie film. πŸ€” #aew #dynamite
