Yes! It has a feature that is eco and does a lot of recharging as you aren't accelerating. And so many safety features that are perfect for my new teenage driver.

I just bought it less than 2 weeks ago - a Hyundai Ioniq 5, the same one that I did rent in Minnesota, but the newest version which is way better for charging and has some great features. I did love driving that one - just didn't know all its setting details while renting.

I'm so happy that I bought an EV and don't have to buy gas. Also super excited that the battery that gets up to about 300 miles charges fully in just an hour at one of the bigger chargers, and that when I will charge at home the solar panels will cover it most of the time. Love it!

I’ll have to as well - already canceled Hulu and Disney

pretty!

same is true for me. Only communication is to file it when I have filed it twice.

I filed my 2024 taxes twice now and got another letter about it not being received. And there is no help in finding/processing our certified mail sent tax return. Sent via mail when it was rejected filing online due to the theft of a SSN for a dependent. We need even more help with filing.

I do too - they’re my friends! Just have to find time to dive into dyeing roving in my schedule. I probably do need it for the upcoming shop space. Can’t wait until they’re doing yarn later this year. We will have a fun collaboration.

I'm really debating it! So tempting.

I've paid FedEx over $1k in the last 4 months. I hope I get it back.

Yay! Looking forward to seeing you at Weird Sisters

Here's Elio, happy with his new cat tree.

I am grateful that my representative is wonderful at standing up for the rights and relief of people and is pushing back so hard on the domination of Trump. I'll be strongly supporting her for the next election.

Thank you! I have already paid a lot in tariffs in the last few months for my very small business. I hope they are stopped so I can be less panicked in placing orders.

Happy kitty with a new tree

I saw him at the University of Oregon in 1988. He was so awesome and inspiring to all of us.

Me too! Milwaukie is so wonderful.

OMG that’s so disgusting. AI should not be manipulating the history of a deceased person

Same here. And having lived in CA while he's the governor I definitely feel that way - he has screwed up so much stuff. He was motivation to escape the state.

They still haven’t processed my filing from last year since it looks like DOGE stole my kid’s SSN because someone else used it on their filing. The help from the IRS has been useless, especially since they owe us a refund.

Yes he should do that permanently ASAP

I read this too and it has made me so angry. ICE agents clearly need to land in jail themselves.

Thanks! I'll have social space in the shop and also I'll be close to coffee shops. FYI the yarn will almost entirely be nonSW and hand dyed, other than what I'm focusing on for the Waldorf School kids

On Main St right by where the new food carts are going in. I’ll get the space in about 6 weeks after they’re done doing a lot of work on it.

Yes that will be there! There’s a sewing shop there too and we will be coordinating on what we carry. Looking forward to working with the other crafty and creative shops in the neighborhood

Shocking news! I’m going to be opening a yarn/crafty shop in my hometown of Milwaukie OR. It’ll mostly feature my hand dyed yarn in many bases, other supplies, classes and social gatherings. Very excited to start setting up a lovely space next month. Life is evolving!

Good job! I’m diving into lots of work to restock this week.

Red knitted hat that represents fighting fascists

My Melt the ICE hat is done! Glad to be supporting Minnesota and everyone fighting back against ICE and supporting humanity. This hat pattern was inspired by the Norwegian resistance of the Nazis during WW2 and it was made illegal by Germany when they controlled Norway.

I do that!! When I pull each 10 connected skeins out of the shipping box, I hug it.

many colors of hand dyed woo/cotton yarn hanging to dry. Yarn on the far right is a different base with a different look.

Dyed so much yarn yesterday - a new base that I'll be introducing at the Red Alder retreat marketplace in 2 weeks. It's incredibly soft and has great structure with the cotton chainette. It's 55% merino/45% cotton and all organic. Love the marled look. Skeins on the far right are different.
