Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Doing some visible mending lately. I finally sorted out all the socks that have holes in my drawer and made a small pile of socks that are worth the time to save. Luckily @wipgenerator.bsky.social recommended an excellent maker a while back who has an absolutely beautiful book on mending.

"It effectively transfers the labor costs, skimped on by the brand, onto the buyer." Such an enlightening take on fast fashion clothing being produced to maximize profit at the cost of longevity and durability. I forever love @bernadettebanner.bsky.social videos. I always learn something new.

About halfway thru my @mellyknits.bsky.social Breeze batt. 80% CVM x Corriedale 20% Cotton. I have no earthly idea what this yarn will look or feel like at the end. But the process is fascinating. This is my "non-wool" and "new to me" fiber for Spindle Bingo. #handspun #spindle #3dprint #fiberart

I’ve been working full time and thus not creating a lot these days, but here’s a throwback from the employee art show at our cafe last year- I got to hang up a collection of my weaving tools! I think my favorite are the ones with the Batrachoceps slender salamanders 💕 #weaving #sciart

I'm working on a batch of client mini mushrooms and wanted to get some practice in - so I did this one of Parrot Waxcaps (that I haven't done before). This one is available: nimasprout.shop/products/par...

If anyone needs a jolt of climate-related optimism, here's the Great Green Wall. In just 10 years these simple, small, moon-shaped troughs halted the spread of the Sahara Desert, cooled huge swaths of land, and are still growing lush ecosystems for local food www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbBd...

🧵 Guess what, I finally received my drum carder last weekend! I had waited 6 months for it so I was ecstatic when it arrived. As my first project, I tried carding Romney with sari silk. Please follow along on my carding journey if you’re interested! (1/n) #handspun #drumcarder #fleeceprocessing

I finished my Polworth spin!!! I had a tiny bit leftover and the chain ply was even better than the fractal! Ah! I should've sampled ahead of time. 😮‍💨 Still, a beautiful squishy worsted weight. This is the most yarn i have ever spindle spun and plied and i ADORE it. #handspun #spindlespun #spindle
