Photo of the lapsize version of the Good Things Are Coming quilt by Tales of Cloth. I am likely going to add half blocks to the top and bottom to add some length.

NYT: “Elon Musk & SpaceX failed to comply with federal reporting protocols to protect state secrets, including not providing details of meetings with foreign leaders… Air Force denied Musk security access… allies concerned he’d share sensitive data…” www.nytimes.com/2024/12/17/t...

WATCH: “MOSTLY TESLAS.” Maddow gives context to why Elon will have Trump scrap a self-driving car crash reporting rule/study after spending $250,000,000+ to buy him the election — most of the accidents are Tesla-related, many deadly. Full: www.instagram.com/reel/DDrtmAK...

Not making AOC the ranking Dem on the House Oversight Committee would be a mistake. Gerry Connolly should be making room for the next generation. Sadly House Dems seem intent on not learning the lesson. www.axios.com/2024/12/16/a...

Bezos and Zuckerberg's million dollar payments to Trump, Joe & Mika going down to MAL to kiss the ring, CNN making Trump appendage Scott Jennings the face of its coverage, and now ABC handing Trump $15 million for a hugely winnable defamation case. Is all of legacy media going to kowtow to Trump?

I was mentally obsessing over what fabric to use for an upcoming quilt, so I made myself a digital fabric swatch and color swatch on my phone! It’s actually helping me plan.

Some things not to comment on this Christmas: - someone’s weight - someone’s size - how much they are eating - how little they are eating - the speed they are eating - the type of foods they are eating - the times they are eating - your post Christmas diet - how fat you feel

9 months apart

How can this continue? Feeling anguished and bereft… #gaza

Apartheid ElonMusk has directly received more than $15 billion in government spending in the last decade. Will the DOGE recommend any cuts to these taxpayer dollars going into his pocket? Or is the Trump Administration just targeting cuts to food, stamps,Medicaid, veterans public schools,& PBS ?

pete hegseth doesn't want women to serve in combat roles yet he has his mother out here fighting his battles....

Hey @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social 1. Try decaf 2. Calm down 3. Ask yourself: Did I really learn anything I didn't know before? 4. Ask yourself: Were we doing a service or a disservice to our viewers? 5. It's a good time for self-reflection 6. You screwed the pooch; take the L

🔥SCORCHING response— VFW on The Economist attacking veterans benefits (to help Elon/Vivek/Trump cut them) “Reads like it was poorly run through Chat GPT… insultingly stupid— I had my leg blown to pieces, which of my benefits are unreasonable?” Full: www.facebook.com/share/p/1BGm...

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

She didn’t lie, though.

We are busy planning for a free year long EPP sewalong in our FB group …https://www.facebook.com/share/g/YUHqA7bEFpxBLoNU/?mibextid=adzO7l After way overpaying for an EPP sewalong, I decided I could do better! If you want super fun EPP project without spending a ton of $, come check us out!

More hand quilting using perle cotton. I am a bit obsessed with how the stitching makes this print from Ruby Star Society pop. This is part of a baby quilt I’m working on using my EPP pattern

I am so excited to have the extra long weekend to sew! Right now on my hoop is this baby quilt for a family member. Who else is crafting this weekend? What are you working on

Hello! I took a deep look at the efforts by SpaceX and Amazon to gut the NLRB, how SCOTUS' right-wing majority could kneecap the agency, and what the disastrous results could be for workers and unions. www.huffpost.com/entry/elon-m...

Hard to get a good image at night, but busy hand quilting this #epp baby quilt and rewatching The Americans.

Welcome to America

Been in a bit of a funk since the election. Then today, I saw a family asking for food donations… in addition to items I had already planned to donate, I picked out several new it’s for their Thanksgiving plus regular meals. It was actually fun to see how I could get the best food for the money.

Me, trying to entice my child to eat the chicken cutlet and spaghetti I made: Mmm! Delicious Italian food! Him (10): That’s not Italian. Pretty sure they do not make that. Me: It’s Italian American! Him: Did you break the spaghetti noodles in half? Me: … This kid is too smart

Since I hand piece all most of my quilts, I like to rotate projects to prevent boredom. Tonight, I’m back to working on this original #epp quilt pattern I designed. I hope to get some good photos of my progress soon. It will be my first pattern that I sell. #quiltpattern

Well, isn’t that convenient? Musk gets named to the fake department of DOGE, and suddenly NASA’s future is up for debate—just as SpaceX is poised to cash in. Funny how “efficiency” seems to mean redirecting public funds straight into private pockets.

Misogynistic jokes, even when made about horrible MAGA women, are still misogynistic. Fat-phobic comments, even when made about Trump/his followers, are still fat-phobic. Classist insults about all southerners or republicans are still classist. You can criticize/mock MAGA without being a douche.

Dr. Oz had to pay $5.25 million to settle a class action suit for promoting phony weight loss cures. He is a conman. Birds of a feather.

Y’all seriously voted for everything to just suck more.

The unwanted DMs continue. Let me be clear: unsolicited DMs to anyone from any gender are unacceptable. But women have faced sexual harassment for centuries: unwanted touching, denigration, sexual comments, & worse. Male Offenders: learn self control & GTFO if you can’t.
