So, it's been almost 2 years since my last go at #knitting a raglan sweater. Aside from correcting the neckband and adding an additional stitch to each sleeve cap, I've pretty much scrapped the algorithm generated pattern. Once one has an understanding of the garment's construction, and key points for desired fit, the process becomes fairly simple... Except correct stitch counts, for which I made a list. #YarnLife

opinions.
“Opinions are opinions, nothing more or less.
We can begin to notice them, and we can begin to label them as opinions,
All ego really is, is our opinions, which we take to be solid, real, and the absolute truth about how things are.
doubt about the solidity and absolute truth of our own opinions,
introduces us to the possibility of egolessness.
We don’t have to make these opinions go away, and we don’t have to criticize ourselves."
When Things Fall Apart

Did my good deed for the day quite by happenstance. UPS driver was about to leave a small parcel at a vacant unit until I told him nobody lived there. I asked who the delivery was for. It's the resident manager, so I pointed him in the proper direction.
I was raised to strive to be a good neighbor. Certainly not into earning "brownie points". There was a time when general decency was the norm, rather than the exception. Not virtue signaling; doing my part to preserve a worthwhile practice.
Glad you enjoy it. I have now watched both seasons twice.
The nuance in the writing is fascinating. We get an intimate glimpse into the political world unfolding right before our eyes.
Our worst fear of political subterfuge in world leaders adds great tension to the series.
Casting Allison Janney was a stroke of brilliance.
Can’t wait for Season 3 to be released.
Wait until the honeymoon is over on Bluesky. There is an incendiary device being assembled while we watch.
I want no part of that insanity on CoSo.
I have social anxiety.
I don’t talk to strangers, don’t hang in groups, don’t do basic things most people do in terms of socializing. I don’t say a percentage of what I’m thinking even when it’s totally reasonable to share.
Know what can really mess up a person with social anxiety? Social media. 🫠
But here, I don’t really have that issue. I’ve encountered people I’ve become friends with.
It helps counter the social anxiety.
So thanks to CoSo, its creators and continuators.
You’re a gift.
Out of respect for our beloved CoSo community, I haven't posted much about recent experiences on other platforms. However, many here are aware that we rural CoSonauts often have to deal with the challenge of access to realtime info relevant to our respective specific locales. Last week, that subject came up in a private local FB group in regard to the ongoing mass migration to #Bluesky. This was/is my take.
