#JanuArty Day 29, Curve. "Moonswept", art quilt, created from an original pen doodle of several curved lines. Made from appliqued batiks and free-motion quilting. #artshare #quiltsky #quilt #artsky #abstract #Applique #textileart

'Rolling hills by the Irish coast' - I don't think I've shared this landscape yet! It was a commission completed in Autumn 2024, they wanted an aerial inspired by a specific region of the Irish coast :) I loved the curious field shapes! #embroidery #fibrearts

My first card of the year (left) & my latest (right). We'll see if I'm able to find some time to do any more before year's end, but I like this pair! 2.5"X3.5" bristol cards, red lead pencil sketch base, various sizes of Microns & a bit of Dr. Ph. Martin's Pen-White from a .35 Rotring Isograph.

💯 what @biblioracle.bsky.social writes: “Using generative AI for lesson plans, or feedback, or course management is, ultimately, not a route toward making individual faculty more productive and effective but is instead a direct path to obviating the human role in teaching.”

My doctoral studies are possible due to my faculty funding: without it, I would not be producing research into Christian extremism in Canada, an under-researched topic. Farming out TA tasks to a computer programme removes the humanity from the humanities. It harms scholarship.

This could destroy the livelihoods of many indie comics creators by jacking up the costs of everything - think of crowdfunding shipping alone. Please tell your US reps and senators to do all they can to fight the privatization of the USPS. Find your reps here: www.congress.gov/members/find...

A reminder that Canada Post workers wanted to do rotating strikes, so mail could still be delivered. The corporation then locked them out. Our government needs to stay out of labour disputes. If you support the gov't ordering postal workers back to work, you do not support workers rights, full stop.

No need to pray for miracles, just fund the scientists doing the Lord’s work.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 10 Mixed media embroidery of waves crashing onto the shore.

This craftwork was made by: @wendyenthomas.bsky.social It was sent to me without attribution on another platform and I posted it here because it's excellent without knowing who'd made it. Gratefully, more than one person on Bsky identified the artist who did. Please repost this.

Embroidery helps, though

Trump will try to take credit for the massive investments made in manufacturing/tech under Biden and the Democrats. It's just like how he took credit for the economy he inherited from Obama. Do not let him get away with it.

Lil update on my embroidery project. It’s almost finished 🧶

Little flower today. Trying 2 strands vs 3. Drew the flower with a pencil instead of the fabric pen. I’m still learning be nice.

400+ years after the "First Thanksgiving" most Americans have no idea that the Wampanoag people are still here. My tribe, the Aquinnah Wampanoag, is on Martha's Vineyard and we're still fighting for our land and rights. We’re also doing some cool stuff. 🧵👇 if you’d like to learn more & support us

I gotta dig out my cross stitch stuff again- both so I can noodle around with it again if I want to, but also so I can find this piece I made just purely as a decoration for myself. You never forget a Friend. #20thCenturyBoys
