Helicopter with a white male pilot is 100' too high and half a mile off course. Air traffic control tower has half its usual staff, perhaps thanks to Trump cuts, buyout offers, and chaos.
Trump blames...integration.
Because he's a racist. And not interested in facts.
Hey folks. I hate for one of my first posts here to be asking for help, especially in this bizarro darkest timeline we find ourselves in, but we had an unexpected need to extract my cat's teeth 😩 Details at the link: gofund.me/f8d9ea18
China Express shrimp with lobster sauce lunch special (comes with 1 egg roll and a wonton). I accidentally ordered extra egg rolls (not my fave, it turns out). Crab rangoon is crispy and excellent. Pasadena CA on N Lake Ave and E Howard. (Lunch special 11am-3:30pm, closed Thu and Sun.
Played with clay for 5 hours. I may be slow but I'm getting better at this I think?! That tall jar was 3 lbs and the tallest thing I've ever made.

I live south of Eaton Canyon. It's been quite a week. Taking a day or two off to rest and take care of things for myself (chores, grad school homework). LA is taking care of itself. There will be more work to do. Photo of Eaton Canyon/Altadena is from 2014.

Deep into HIS & HERS by Alice Feeney on audio. I think she's going on the favorites list (this is my second book of hers) and the pairing of Richard Armitage and Stephanie Racine is my new favorite reading duo.
She keeps saying things like "memorabil-yer" and "mur-dah" (but Posy is from Los Angeles, not The South)
Enjoying this book but the reader's American accent for Posy Starling is not it

Ooh yeah. I would recommend picking it up for inspirational purposes (but go back to either finish your half sweater or try a simpler design first). TBH I learned basic sweater shaping by making a baby sweater from a Debbie Bliss book (which I have never finished and no baby will ever wear).
WORSTED was yarn dyer Aimée Gille's first curated book of patterns. If you recall the Little Yellow Sweater I recently finished, this is one of her signature colors in her Mondim yarn. Her company, La Bien Aimée, is based in France. I have not yet acquired her newer book, NEONS AND NEUTRALS. 🩷💛

Two cats, a long-haired brown tabby and a short-haired black cat lie on a blue patterned rug.
🐈 Goose is on my mind. I loved THE MARVELS and will definitely watch it again. Thrilled not to have been spoiled.
I got to meet Maggie Smith at Vroman's in Pasadena when her latest book came out. I want to read everything she writes! 📝
They were great 🤤
Hi, Bluesky!
