I just changed all the bedding on a king sized bed, with three highly caffeinated foster kittens and two rambunctious grey cats actively participating.

ACTIVELY.

You have your extreme sports; I have mine.

That moment when you're not sure if that was an earthquake but then your social media feed explodes with all the local folks saying 'Earthquake!' so you know it wasn't just you feeling dizzy for no reason.

A Utah parent says the Bible contains porn and should be removed from school libraries. Here’s their full challenge. The parent writes that the book should be considered indecent under Utah’s new book banning law, after seeing the other titles that have been pulled.

“Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” the parent wrote in their request, listing topics they found concerning in the religious text. “You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition.” https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2023/03/22/utah-parent-says-bible-contains/

A Utah parent says the Bible contains porn and should be removed from school libraries. Here’s their full challenge.

A Utah parent wants their school district to review the Bible for inappropriate content and possibly remove it, calling it “one of the most sex-ridden books around.”

This is the face of a cat who has *no* idea who was bouncing in and out of this box with toys and chomping loudly on the flaps in the wee hours of the morning when mom was trying to sleep, mm hmm.

Sock Madness Round 2.

Pattern is Celtic Rain, and includes toe-up construction, a center-out gusset, a leg chart that shifts to one side each repeat, and a crochet bind off that's similar to Judy's Stretchy Bind off. Oh, and also beads, but there's only ten per sock so that was no big deal.

It seems like every person born before 1980 has a baby photo of them being bathed in a kitchen sink and I have a theory that most of it stopped when people got dishwashers and realized it was a much more convenient way to clean their children.

Round One pattern for Sock Madness dropped yesterday morning, and I finished them in roughly 14 hours.

I had fun with these. The pattern is Valgus (available on Ravelry). They're knit flat, and then joined with a decorative seam that travels across the leg. The toe is knit in the round, and they have an afterthought heel.

Sometimes you need some snuggles from the human in the most inconvenient way possible, right NOW.

(No worries, it's not like I need both hands to work or anything, mm hmm.)

Sock Madness has started up again, so here's my qualifying pair. These are not stranded; they're intarsia in the round, which is a super cool new-to-me technique, but the number of ends to weave in is over 60 *per sock* (yes really), so let's just say the chances of me actually ever weaving them all in and actually wearing them is pretty much non-existent.
