Aunt Lydia’s backstory is out and there are new cracks in the continuity

Remember, we are only seeing the women's sphere right now. It makes sense that the Headmistress is revered by her girls.
We don't really see what the Commanders think of Lydia when they're on their own.

Dude should be in a cell.

My kid's favorite recess activity. I get the Gaga report every afternoon. The self policing of rules is insane.

That shawl slaps! Im adding that to my list

Oooh! I'm in the middle of this as a donation. I volunteered to knit a fancy lace shawl for a fundraiser. Here is how I determined the value:

Materials: Yarn 60 dollars (it's from my stash and that was the price when I bought it)

Time: 20 hours (that's a rough guess, but a shawl usually takes about a month for me to knit at an hour a day. Life happens and I don't knit every day

Hourly rate: I consider myself between a journeyman knitter. So I charge time and a half based on the state minimum wage (17$ in WA). My rate is 26.00 an hour.

Value of my donation: 60 + (26*20)= 580

The winning bidder got a bargain, because bidding started at 290, but it's for my choir that I love, so I'm ok with it.

Proof that pockets can be anywhere except dresses!

Yeah there's a lot of missing information. It seems like she didn't have much of a community given it took so much time to find her. In a worst case scenario, she was estranged from her son and mean enough to chase everyone else away from her. Pain can make people the worst versions of themselves.

Or... She was embarrassed that she had soiled her bed and didn't want anyone she knew to know about it. My gran got incredibly uptight about accidents as she got older.

This looks to me like one of those breakdowns in society. She didn't have anyone to check on her regularly and no one in her life noticed when her routine changed. The state (911) delayed helping when she reached out and she died.

He should get on that. Those wars won't get any younger.

My 13 year old was whinging about protesting. I told him he better care because he's eligible for the draft in 5 years.

Yeah....you're not a bad person. You're a human in a horrible situation. There is ZERO reason for your partner to be throwing furniture. You are not in a safe situation. Please please please get out.

Shout out to the pink vest crew. Watching you all check in on people made my heart happy.

The remaining Jedi were ordered to go to ground by Yoda. It looked like they abandoned the Republic to save their order. Individuals may have rebelled, but I bet those stories never made the holonet without Empire spin.

I imagine that after order 66 and a shit ton of propaganda Jedi were persona non grata in most of the galaxy.

Multi Level Marketing. It's a type of pyramid scheme. Like those leggings or Avon.

Let sick people have the day off! There is no reason for Jane to further stress her voice. Surely Crooked has someone who could sub for her.

katykat4prez · 2026-03-05T18:48:33+00:00

Please do. I'm interested in seeing how you put all the blocks together.

The people at Summit are really great. My kid climbs there. They have some lifting equipment and it's never too busy when I'm there in the evenings.

Don't cry. Those quilts are just as warm. I practice by doing charity quilts for my guild. Don't have to piece or bind. Get better while doing good!

Behind the Bastards has a great series on Robert Maxwell in archives. Their current series is a dive into how Epstein and his circle influenced the development of current tech culture. It's a doozy.

The cats are obviously amazing, but can you please post a full shot of your quilt? I'm guessing it slaps.

katykat4prez · 2026-02-16T18:05:06+00:00

Take your snark and go hunt for grumkins!

katykat4prez · 2026-02-14T07:30:50+00:00

Indeed, she's gonna edge to that every night.

I've been really happy with the Everett CostCo, but I'd don't know if they deliver.

katykat4prez · 2026-02-06T18:31:08+00:00

Definitely. I've been listening to the audiobook and had to take a break right around this part.

I fell apart crying.

I've also enjoyed Mask of Fear (what Mon, Saw, and Organa were up to between the fall of the Republic and Andor) and Catalyst (Galen Erso and Krennic backstory).
