And the good girls go to heaven, but the bad girls go everywhere...
#MakeShitMonday, #crochet edition, in which I knock off another WIP *and* a side project!! 🎉
I finally got the shrug body finished, blocked, and seamed - put the picot edging on in the car on the way to an event this weekend, just in time to sit in an over-air-conditioned conference center all day Saturday... 😁
(Bonus - @mbroome says "it's really easy to find you in the crowd now!" 😄)
Also I have been wanting to make myself a pair of slippers for almost a year now - got the yarn, made a demo pair, gave them to Mom, then made a pair for @mbroome, then got distracted... So I banged those out just in time for the weekend as well. Yay, warm feet! 🥿🧶💖

There is a reasonable path back. Everything doesn't have to be all existential all the time.
👴🏻"If we even have elections!🤡"
We are having elections.
👴🏻"The GOP is going to try dirty tricks!🤡"
So? The GOP always tries dirty tricks. Always. There has never been a modern election where they didn't.
I won't lie to you and say that making the right choices at midterms and 2028 will completely undo all this damage. Because it won't.
You can never trust Dr. Jekyll again once you've met Mr. Hyde. Everyone knows that the US is always 4 years and some white grievance away from being right back here.
Wow, @caseyjohnellis has *the* most clear-eyed and constructive take on what AI is doing to cybersecurity. And actual prescriptions for how to respond, rather than just hand-wringing! No magic bullet, of course - we actually have to grind it out and fix the technical debt we've all been whistling past (for very good reasons, in many cases!) for years or even decades...

🧦🍲 natalie 🌧️🌱It is deeply funny to me that Mastodon is a place where AI bros cry because they can't get any traction, but a single picture of moss can give anyone, no matter their other content or follower count, positive feedback for the rest of time.
MurderBotBot(I know that’s actually not a permanent solution and pretending bad things aren’t happening is not a great survival strategy in the long run, but there was nothing I could do about it now.)
No farmers' market flowers today - we're in #WNC for the annual gathering of the Friends of the Mountains to Sea Trail.
On our way out to Asheville, we swung by Linville Gorge to scout the Spence Ridge trail and look for the spring at Table Rock, in advance of hopefully going backpacking and climbing out there next week...
The trail was thronged with wild azaleas and irises - an extra joy in a lovely hike!
