Week 9 – Back in the Naughty Corner
I'm back in Meta's naughty corner. Apparently, you can be as racist, misogynistic, ableist, and awful as you like on Meta's platforms, but you cannot call out ethnic cleansing and genocide. That will get you put on the naughty stool! Zuck loves himself some...
Week 8 – Fidgets and Pups
Are you getting tired of Pound Puppies yet? This week, I have continued with my puppy obsession. I've made 3 newborn puppies this week (holy shit - that sounds like a lot). The mini puppy pattern is another vintage one from Etsy by Cheryl Vanderwall De Veronica for...
Week 7 – Grief and More Puppies
This week, the hyperfixation on Pound Puppies continues. Last week, I wrote about how I found a vintage 1985 pattern for Pound Puppies on Etsy. I ended up buying the mini puppy pattern as well, and the creator's name wasn't cut out of that pattern. So, I can report...
Week 6 – Pound Puppies and 80’s Nostalgia
This week has been all about 80's nostalgia! In my search for a project for the Royal Adelaide Show, I was considering designing a pattern of a puppy lying down (something nice and cuddly). I was planning it all out in my mind as I was falling asleep. I woke up the...
Week 5 – Craftivism is Cool
Well, I didn't think this week would start with people attacking me over a free beanie pattern. If you're in any of the online crochet spaces, you probably noticed the increase in craftivism projects after the murder of Alex Pretti in Minnesota. Over on Facebook,...
Week 4 – The Facebook Suspension
Wow... another week of insanity. On Saturday, I got Zucked, and my Facebook and Instagram accounts were suspended. In order to appeal, I had to send them a terrible selfie and a picture of my ID (so, I guess Palantir have all my info now). Luckily (or maybe...
Week 3 – Down the Spiral
Well, this week we continued down the spiral of Dementia Don's delusion. ICE are wreaking havoc in Minnesota - tear gassing random cars with kids inside. A 6-month-old nearly died. It is only a matter of time before this all erupts into guerrilla fighting in the...
Week 2 – The Shitshow Continues…
I mean... we all knew that this shitshow was going to continue in 2026, didn't we? We barely get a week into the new year before Trump and his posse of complete buffoons violated international law by kidnapping (yes, that's what happened - none of this 'captured'...
Week 1 – Does anyone even read blogs anymore?
Happy New Year! Welcome to 2026, and what (I’m sure) we’re all hoping will be a better year. Honestly, shit has sucked pretty bad since 2020, so crossing my fingers and toes that some good things happen in the next 12 months (I wrote this before Trump invaded...
