The folks saying knit fabrics are harder to work with than wovens are NOT LYING. This shirt was a real pain to put together, and with the stitches being harder to undo when I messed up, it took longer than expected. Glad I finished it but also going to move back to wovens asap

Topped out two climbs today 💪🏼 I've been climbing for a year and sometimes it doesn't feel like I make much progress. Appreciate getting to see techniques work and my arms not give up on me #rockclimbing #fatrockclimbers

If you don't want to see this horrible garbage happen in every future high-stakes election, make sure it demonstrably fails in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race by helping elect Susan Crawford

Exhausted and bursting from @naea-arteducators.bsky.social this year. No pictures, just togetherness with my 5 different little art ed worlds. Excited for Chicago 2026!

Little half-day project: new Spring bunting for the living room.

#closetcorepietra pants! First pair of pants. Shortened the pattern by 2", and did a felled seam in the front. Will likely size down if and when I make these again but happy with my first pair

My daily work: :( A sewing project that I will spend my entire weekend laboring over: :)

can't believe it's 2025 and i'm stressed about tariffs and measles, like am i a character in an american girl book

Gallery attendants hate to see me and Nancy coming

I’m so tired, Renee

Making a muslin really feels like I'm one of my preservice students, annoyed after realizing Dr. Deb was right and that writing out the whole lesson plan before you teach it DOES help you find all the flaws and makes your real lesson better. #sewsky

The only good thing right now is my newly-adopted cat and my old lady cat trying to fit into the same cat bed.

‘You Can’t Let This Happen,’ Says Fundraising Email From Sitting U.S. Congressperson

Finished my first real project--the #closetcoreCielo top. I really enjoyed making this project, even if I fucked up a few times along the way. Learned how to move a dart in the process! #sewsky

a good part of me thinks that in addition to everything else, the reason they are scrubbing these stories is they do not want disadvantaged kids to believe they can aspire to anything other than their designated “black” or “hispanic” or “woman” job

@uwmilwaukee.bsky.social Art Ed 328 students working on curriculum building for their 8-week middle school unit they lead starting next month. each wrote 5 artists, project ideas, big ideas, and mediums, creating over 9 million combinations to use to start building a lesson

God I love this goofy little city

Are Trump’s executive actions about DEI and immigration changing your school? Tell us about it. https://www.chalkbeat.org/2025/02/04/how-is-donald-trump-changing-your-school-community-survey/

Love Milwaukee Black History

Ah, the millennial experience of “every time you get some measure of financial and career stability, the world decides to do something extraordinarily stupid again”

Spent my weekend making my first muslin for the #seamwork Cielo top. Don't look at the hem I was tired. Looking forward to making the actual garment next weekend #sewsky

The first Senators to actually do anything about the Trump admin

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
