Pick it up
Every time I pick up a piece of glass from the sidewalk, it’s me walking, for one. It’s me seeing the glass, for two. And it’s me deciding if I feel safe enough in whatever situation I’m in to pick up the glass. Because it’s actually quite embarassing.’‘

the need to include the voices of the ‘‘researched subjects’’ into the process of investigation aimed at putting scientific knowl- edge at the service of the public served. This represents progress in reference to moving from research ‘‘on them’’ to ‘‘with them.’’

Weekend Hashtag Project: #WHPlikealocal
Weekend Hashtag Project is a series featuring designated themes and hashtags chosen by Instagram’s Community Team. For a chance to be featured on the Instagram blog, follow @instagram and look for a post every week announcing the latest project.
This weekend, the goal of #WHPlikealocal is to celebrate what you love about where you live. Share hidden gems. What are the best and most beautiful spots in your city only a local would know? Let us in on the best-kept secrets.
Celebrate everyday scenes. Show us your daily activities that are unique to where you live — like rising early with animals on a farm or boarding a crowded city train at sunset.
Honor the legends. Is there a local baker who mixes up your all-time favorite treat? A muralist who gave your downtown’s walls a makeover? Make images of the people who love your town, and make it a great place to live.
PROJECT RULES: Please add the #WHPlikealocal hashtag only to photos and videos taken over this weekend and only submit your own visuals to the project. If you include music in your video submissions, please only use music to which you own the rights. Any tagged photo or video taken over the weekend is eligible to be featured next week.

Being a knitter means
getting mad at your past self for not writing down how you did the thing, so now you can’t remember how to do the thing.

it’s a great place to be for the knittest amongst us !
ATTENTION KNITTERS (and crochet folks too, if you wish)
Reblog this if your blog features knitting and/or crocheting (doesn’t have to be the main focus of your blog). My yarn obsession needs to be fed so I need some blogs to follow. :)
Also I am on ravelry. Feel free to ask for my username.
___ Edit: okay, so I might have just realized it’s a little overwhelming to follow each and every one of you. I expected maybe 5 people to reblog this but the knitting/crochet/yarnlr community is very enthusiastic apparently and a lot more than 5 volunteered as tribute. But feel free to keep reblogging because a lot of people have mentioned they want to use this to find other knitting blogs, too. And I will still add you on ravelry if you ask. And I’ll still be following a lot of blogs on this post. I just can’t promise I’ll get every single one.
