HELLA BASIC BLOCKS In my efforts to bring you more FREE creative projects this year, I am kicking off my new quilt block series! It’s affectionately called the Hella Basic Blocks and every other month I’ll be dropping a new basic block tutorial. To kick it off, let’s make the classic Nine Patch!

Elon Musk—an unelected billionaire with a long list of conflicts of interest and deep ties to China—is hijacking our nation's checkbook so he can block funds that help the American people. It's corrupt—and it's putting our economy & the most at-risk communities in jeopardy.

There is a Guardian article about this with an interview with a farmer who said 2 white folks showed up to work, double counted everything they picked, and lasted half a shift. What is happening now is cruel. What was already happening was also cruel. Everything about this is broken.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)

Don't forget to add alt text to your images. There's even a helpful setting you can turn on that makes it required, which saves my bacon a lot because I forget sometimes in haste.
