It's rather intense! I nearly shut down the med clinic at our embassy once. I went in for a bad unexplained rash on my face, neck, front and back. They panicked as a measles epidemic had *just* been announced that day. I was vaxxed! We realized I was reacting (poorly) to a new medicine. Oops. 😯
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
Says it all………
Could it be, if it's new to your hands, you tense more? I notice that my hands get tired faster when knitting, but I've also caught myself holding more rigid when knitting. My hands and body are fully relaxed when crocheting (except when trying to hold project, hook, yarn, cat, cat's paws, etc.😆😸🧶)
Like clockwork.
I don’t want to see more Americans lose their lives in this war.
Screenshot of a social post by President Donald J. Trump that says: 'There will be no deal with Iran except UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER! After that, and the selection of a GREAT & ACCEPTABLE Leader(s), we, and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners, will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, and stronger than ever before. IRAN WILL HAVE A GREAT FUTURE. “MAKE IRAN GREAT AGAIN (MIGA!).” Thank you for your attention to this matter! President DONALD J. TRUMP'
Nothing says ‘serious foreign policy’ like inventing a new MAGA slogan for another country.

Screenshot of an X post by Dan Scavino reading, “Happening Now in the Oval Office at the @WhiteHouse. God Bless the USA!” with prayer, heart, U.S. flag, and eagle emojis. Below is a photo inside the Oval Office showing Donald Trump seated at the Resolute Desk while a large group of men in suits stand around him in a circle with heads bowed and hands extended in prayer. American flags, gold drapes, and framed portraits are visible in the room.
“Iran is run by religious fanatics.”
Screenshot a headline by the New York Times that says: 'Analysis Suggests School Was Hit Amid U.S. Strikes on Iranian Naval Base The Feb. 28 school strike in Minab, which killed dozens, including children, appears to have been part of an attack on an adjacent naval base in southern Iran, where officials said U.S. forces were operating.'
If true, this requires immediate repercussions. War crimes cannot go unanswered.
these hubristic shitwits all thought Iran was going to be a one-and-done like Venezuela. they thought Iran’s government would fold like a pack of cards after a single day’s bombing — and now that it’s obvious that this ill-planned don’t-call-it-a-war is going to drag on for god knows how long, they haven’t a single fucking clue what to do about skyrocketing gas prices.
not one of these let's-bomb-Iran morons realized that warring with the country that controls the Strait of Hormuz would result in super-high gas prices, and now they have no fucking clue how to deal with it. thank you for your attention to today's super-angry post. link is here: bit.ly/3OUkNXV
Screenshot of an X post by Gavin Newsom reading “Gone, but not forgotten.” The post includes a grayscale video thumbnail showing a person in military gear and helmet, with large text over the image reading “IN MEMORIAM KRISTI NOEM 2025–2026.”
She lasted just over 37 Scaramuccis.
I've made some things, but it just doesn't come as naturally to me as crochet.
Let's be clear: the U.S. had a deal that could have prevented Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.
Trump ripped up that deal.
Then he started a war instead of doing the hard work of diplomacy to stop Iran from getting a nuclear weapon.

Being in any kind of evac situation when you are far from home always sucks. Been there and done that more than once. But at least I knew I could rely on my government to protect me and my family when it happened. With the blabbering draft-dodging nazi in office, people are fucked!
And Republicans got angry with Michelle Obama for stepping outside her lane by having a vegetable garden. We are, truly, living in the stupidest of times. . .
Donald Trump promised to lower costs on Day 1 and end wars. Instead, Trump's new war with Iran is raising your costs.
I've noticed that some crafters just seem to take to one or other easier and I'm not sure why. I have done both. I can read patterns for both. I like both. Crochet just comes easier. 🤷♀️
Fucking draft dodger... 😡🤬
Not only *did* they start this war, they have no idea how to finish it.
It was sweet! I think they were switching out their Valentine's decor. This place is casual, our local favorite, and they were open late. As we walked out the door the manager pulled my husband aside, handed him the vase, and said to pick out a rose for me 😊💗

We went out for a late dinner at Ernesto's Mexican tonight and on the way out they gave me a lovely rose😊🌹 That was so sweet! And my Baja shrimp tacos were amazing! We love this restaurant!
I think we need to take a step back and acknowledge the absurdity of House Republicans targeting their Epstein investigation on HILLARY CLINTON (who says she never met him!) while ignoring DONALD TRUMP (who Epstein described as his best friend!)
These are not serious people or good faith actors.
Dear BlueSky:
Melania Trump is a sex worker. So, of course, the pictures advertising her services are going to be sexually suggestive. She would be more incompetent than her senile husband if they weren't.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
If Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, who were NOT mentioned over a million times in the Epstein files, can testify before Congress about Jeffrey Epstein, then so can Donald J. Trump, who was.
Not too bad. We got a couple inches of extra snow the other day but in the afternoon it warmed up and much of the new stuff melted. We had some big branches come down in the yard. One hit my car - no damage but we thought a deer ran into us in the dark, it was loud! And another squished some fence.
