A selection of #cats from the Hemingway House in Key West. My Florida vacation has been a total delight despite my anxieties. Many public restrooms have been used without incident. #TravelWhileTrans

Here is my actual #valentine from this year, celebrating my love of bats and cheese; a good reminder from @wynwoodwalls.bsky.social, and the #sunrise this morning over the sea in the Florida Keys. I am off both news and the greater good until Tuesday. Taking a deep breath to regroup and reset.

Staff retreat day 3, so glad to be able to bring this #OOTD to work. Fav @nooworks.bsky.social business pants, Hex The Patriarchy tee, Pretty Snake linen camp shirt, keffiyeh, puffy humidity hair, “Destroy All Men Who Abuse Their Power” fanny pack by defunct feminist art collective The Bettys.

Staff retreat #OOTD: @nooworks.bsky.social linen garden suit romper in a wild Ruth Mora print; keffiyeh; lightweight black cardi with a crocheted skull back that feels like a hug from the friend who gave it to me, @toppleandburn.bsky.social F the Patriarchy earrings; 🍒 converse. #EatTheRich

Celebrating you, women in science!

Ok I was real nervous about coming to Florida but this view from my morning run really helped melt that away. Also consuming zero news today.

As a #nonbinary person travel can be complicated and traveling to hostile territory more so. #OOTD my fav @nooworks.bsky.social pants, memorial hoodie for the best smile, keffiyeh, straw hat from my 83 year old friend, black glitter Docs, mask for collective care, apprehension. #FitCheck

Really leaning on this reminder lately. #EvenIfImScared thank you to the original artist who drew a little girl in a tutu and ballet flats and to the tattoo artist who immediately got what I was looking for and made the most wonderful adjustments. We can be scared and still do hard things.

I’m going to Miami for work and the Keys for fun and trying to finish #sewing these @patternfantastique.bsky.social #TerraPants in a vintage #tropical #pinup Alexander Henry print. Still have a waistband and belt loops and cuffs to finish but my bags are packed and flight isn’t until 3 🤞🏼🤞🏼🧵🪡 #SewSky

People have been asking me how I’m ok. First of all I am definitely NOT ok just duct taped together with a to-do list and a great community. Second I have been practicing #HopeAsADiscipline for over a decade and working in and with marginalized communities longer than that. If I can’t dance and all.

Today’s #OOTD just for the fine folks at the post office and grocery store. New #Biddell #SlaySuit in forest green wool; #ShalomCardigan with green dichroic glass buttons; vagina dentata scarf by @trashdoctor.bsky.social, #FuckThePatriarchy earrings; #WhiteHartSocks; travel anxiety. 🧶 #knitsky

I am extremely lucky in the humans I get to walk with. My dear friend showed up for our morning walk with 6 LPs he deemed essential listening for my post-streaming lifestyle. Inscription reads “for Jenn’s analog-only world, which I hope never arrives.”

Just a reminder…

Latest #knit project is these two matching beehive tea cozies for a friend and her friend as part of a #CraftSwap. Building community and opting out of consumerism is #Resistance. #OptOut #KnitSky 🧶

Now that I know I CAN be unobtrusive, why? #OOTD inspired by the Pizza Strip: #TwentyTenCardigan, thrifted maroon Henley, red leopard jeans from #OceanStateJobLot, my first hand knit socks, red glitter vampire earrings from Little Bat, pocket knife, deep resolve. #FitCheck #KnitSky 🧶

#FitCheck: practicing looking unobtrusive just in case. #OOTD thrifted blue Levi’s, thrifted plaid flannel, @meggospurls.bsky.social #SavenSweater in a beautiful local single sheep worsted, #BlowMe hair clip, existential dread. How you doin? #knitsky 🧶

Our friends at @prisonculture.bsky.social remind us to stay focused. My 2025 themes are: Gratitude for this existence; Listen for what the moment calls for; Nurture intimacy in many forms I am focused on improving/intervening on: Trans rights; Deportations; Housing/evictions Pick a lane or two.

I read a lot of authoritarian history and dystopian novels and I feel like we ordered our coup off Temu. I was promised pomp and circumstance and phalanxes of jackbooted thugs storming the square and instead they delivered teenage edgelord interns to steal our collective lunch money.

Hot off the press- WTF is the radical indoctrination EO?: supporting and affirming queer and trans students and the teachers who teach them [zine]

Please don’t die but if you do I will fucking BRING IT to your funeral. #OOTD handmade K-Zao suit, me-made French cuff #Fairfieldshirt, Office of Angela Scott silver and black wingtips, thrifted scarf, soul-crushing grief. #FuneralFitCheck

Remember horrible things happen legally all the time. Much of the Holocaust was legal; closer to home native removal, Jim Crow, and Japanese internment among other things. You cannot use legal standards to guide your morality.

I’ve been using this bandana as a pressing cloth while prepping my #TerraPants and it’s pretty satisfying. 🧶🧵🪡 #SewSky #ThisMachineKillsFascists

We are all getting ready to fight over here. As Arthur Ashe said, start where you are, use what you have, do what you can. #AllYouFascists #MurderMittens #CatSky
