Do Something

So, you've all heard of this huge natural disaster, right? and then the man-made on that quickly followed? I don't have a Tv so many of the images, I've been spared, it's own kind of backwards privilege, yeah? The radio stories leave my eyes puffy and the internet news leave my fists clenched. I haven't talked about it, nor do I really plan to here, except just to say:

Get involved. Do something to help. Then do something else. Then do something to tear down this system that we've stood by and let become, it can't be rebuilt, it's gotta go.

Shit, I just heard that rehnquist is dead. Now bush's got another chance to make his lawless, renegade, compassionless creedo a lasting part of this uh...land of the brave. Here's hoping he's not got the political capital to push through Thomas or Scalia and here's to knowing that he does. Fuck.

In the world that is immediately mine, far from too much water and a fucked up president, it was dye day. It's all still hangin' on the porch (it's now 6 am) and I with my fingers crossed that some little yellow finch doesn't decide to take up reisidence. I did 3 lbs, hoping that'll last me at least 2 weeks. These dye days have gotta get further apart, hot and long as they are. I also did some vegetable fiber, 2 lbs of bamboo, ramie, tencel, and soy silk. They're hiding out in their own plastic tub, counting the minutes until their debut.

I'd have secret and obtuse visions of hidden knitting to show but just realized a substantial part of the covert project, somehow, got knit on the wrong circ. needle. How the hell does that happen, you ask? It takes much skill. It takes less skill to rip it all out. Argh. Knitting news soon. Really, though it is a bit slower lately, school is kicking knitting's ass.
