Warm weather, & the ducks be crazy*. Only a handful of regulars came to the feeding area. All the others are either too busy*, or too afraid of the drama*

Good to know re CG. Havent tried them yet, but they do get good reviews. I had to return KnitPicks circs. Again, problematic cord-needle join.

The cords on Skacel arent my fave, but the joins are smooth & the needles come with a guarantee. That's what came to the rescue this time.

Yup. . . . Also stress on the human joints.

No. Different brands. The bamboo was a pain to use anyway -- needles proportionately too long for the cord, and the little knob at the cord-needle join prevented smooth movemt of stitches. Other brand, it's the 2nd set that's done this. Wont buy circs. of either brand again.🤬

2 different brands. 2 different kinds of crappy cord-to-needle joins. I did have a backup. But damn!

what the hell?! that's 2ce in less than a month! 🤬 🧶

Don’t recall these members having concerns when their Democratic colleagues in other states were gerrymandered

Tomorrow is start of early voting for VA redistricting referendum

Don’t think will reach 2025 levels of early voting which had 33K first day

Probably get more than 2023 state elections first day of 12K

Expect lots of over analysis, but will give a sense of potential turnout

Trump fires Homeland Security Secretary Noem after mounting criticism over her leadership Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin says he has no idea how quickly his nomination to replace Kristi Noem at the Department of Homeland Security will move.

We’re glad that Kristi Noem has been fired and she should face real accountability for DHS’ rampant violence.

But Noem’s firing doesn’t suddenly solve the crisis at DHS. Swapping personnel without changing course is not accountability — it’s a spin tactic. What we really need is structural change.

Other states? They gerrymandered their own state. That's how Virginia got stuck with Jen Kiggans instead of Elaine Luria.

Thanks for the reminder

@abigailspanberger.com please veto the casino bill! Residents do not want it. Delegates representing Tyson’s opposed it. Fairfax County Board of Supervisors opposes it. Localities shouldn’t have something like this forced on them.
