I like knitting, handspinning and am a new rigid heddle weaver. I love books and audiobooks but read mostly scfi and fantasy.
I follow politics and vote blue. Mom to 2 somewhat adult kids.

Got off my ass and finally set to mending all my handknit (and some handspun) socks. Six socks done. There are more but that is enough for today.

It's the most wonderful time of the year!

Audubon's Rowe Sanctuary's Crane Camera

The Crane Cam is located on Audubon's Rowe Sanctuary and is a great way to see the Sandhill Cranes on their river roost during the spring migration and other wildlife all year. Since the cranes leave the river to feed during the day, the best times to view are near sunrise and sunset.

PSA: Google has now begun to roll-out the Ad Topics "feature" onto Android itself. It's not just in Chrome you have to disable the settings. Please #Boost to spread awareness.

If you didn't get the pop-up screen on your Android device (it looks like the first two screenshots), to opt-out of these settings:

  • Go to your device Settings
  • Press "Google"
  • Press "Ads"
    • While you're here, press the "Delete Advertising ID" button and delete it
  • Press "Ad Privacy"
  • Review: "Ad Topics", "App-suggested ads", and "App Measurement". Make sure all are labelled as "OFF". (This page will look like the third screenshot)
  • If you don't see "Ad Privacy" in Step 4 then it means that it hasn't been rolled out to you yet. You might need to wait and check back in a couple of days to see if/when it has been implemented to disable these settings.

    EDIT: There's another setting to review. In step 2, scroll to "Personalize using shared data". Turn everything off.

    Watched Season 2 finale of #Foundation on #AppleTv last night and it did not disappoint. Loved this show from the visuals to all the amazing performances (always a Jared Harris stan).👏 👏 👏
    Today's #Muppets GIF of the Day is dedicated to the memory of singer Jimmy Buffett, who performed with the Muppets on Elmopalooza and the Kermit Unpigged album.

    Thanks for being the soundtrack to my summer, you will be missed 😢

    When I look at the video of a clearly struggling Mitch McConnell, I think about how scary and difficult that must be, and how hard McConnell has worked throughout his life to ensure that the end of people's lives are as difficult and scary a struggle as they can possibly be made.
