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 ๐Ÿ˜ฉ Details at the link: gofund.me/f8d9ea18

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.

Finished today: THE ONLY ONE LEFT by Riley Sager. Satisfying. This has been the best streak I've had of creepy house thrillers. ๐Ÿš๏ธ

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)

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 Aimรฉe 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 Aimรฉe, is based in France. I have not yet acquired her newer book, NEONS AND NEUTRALS. ๐Ÿฉท๐Ÿ’›
