Based on my experience here the content Bluesky likes the most is when I share my favourite crank theories.

I like that people are able to make usable prosthetics that are comfortable when a silicone one is uncomfortable & expensive. It's a neighbourly gift that helps someone feel well and whole.

Nice!
I got to turn my master's essay into a little book that is actually being read by some folk interested in knitting history.

A good link! I like how some of these handmade breast replacements are shared locally, and some are sent overseas. Wherever they are needed!

And library use DOES support an author, via the sale to a library and also Public Lending Rights in many countries.

Our VIRL branches are TREASURES in our communities. 📚
Local library branches rock!

No, volunteers knit these "puffs" for the Canadian Cancer society, who try to make sure everyone who has a breast removed has a "puff" when leaving the hospital.
Some volunteers knit for overseas donations, too.

Knitting for healing, one stitch at a time A Kenyan woman who survived breast cancer is knitting prostheses and training others to make them in a country where silicone ones are expensive.

When she received her cancer diagnosis, she did not expect that her hobby of knitting, which she took up while recovering, would affect the lives of thousands of breast cancer survivors. She now makes knitted breasr prostheses for other breast cancer survivors.

These knitted breast prostheses are made by volunteers locally also, in Canada. A wonderful way for people to be helping each other.

I've ridden that stretch of the Lochside Trail! It's nice, especially looking out over the water.
Once we rode there, by the Reserve and there were DOZENS of bikes parked outside a restaurant & garden centre with people who just looked SO HAPPY.

The tipping chair? I was supposed to count backwards from 100 by threes. It is possible to say "ninety-one" and have it sound exactly like cuss words.
Not adorable.

I went out for a nice lunch and bought shirts because my test results said benign so YAY.
