A long weekend is a good time to start a #crochet project... in #chalk ? Chalk granny squares #afghan on my front walk right now. I've been adding to it as time allows; might keep adding to it, but I like that it's square now. Like an actual afghan, it's great for using up little colorful leftover nubbins, and for catching up on audio books or podcasts. And I don't have to wash or store this one when it's done. :) #chalkart

This whole thing is more than a little bit concerning.

Trying out the fediverse for the first time today. I've been reading a lot about it, now it's time to figure out how it works and build an internet home here.

Ikea has started selling plug-in solar kits. No permits, no installers, full placement flexibility.

Currently they are only available in Germany but if it goes well they will start rolling them out in many more countries.

The system is small (800W) but that's enough to cover roughly 35% of a typical European apartment's daily electricity use.

Found a shop with a skein. Thanks for all the boosts. 💕

Long shot in case you are here and not on Rav. Would much appreciate boosts for reach.

ISO Jagger Spun Kokadjo 4/14 Silver. I’m working with lot #18732 but honestly not picky. Doing Nouveau Cardigan and will not have enough for the ribbing at the end. Seeking 50-100 yards. Will purchase an entire skein if someone has one that isn’t stashed in Ravelry. Only ones show up as not for sale.

Please boost.

Another of the institutions threatened by fascists via their funding.

The California Digital Newspaper Collection is an invaluable resource of actual scans of newspapers going back > 100 yrs.

"Currently, the CDNC faces a $300,000 deficit with only weeks left in the fiscal year which ends on June 30, 2025. Without urgent support, access to this collection could be significantly reduced for researchers around the world."
