i feel like complete and utter garbage and have spent most of the day in bed but also being in bed started to make my back and hips sublux so i polished part of the earring & set one of the stones

Today is the 35th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, in which disabled activists discarded their mobility aids at the foot of the Capitol steps to climb them in support of passage of the Americans with Disabilities Ac. Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, 8, told reporters "I'll take all night if I have to!"

@marksweeney.bsky.social hi friend! i missed you in the great relocation and didn’t realize i wasn’t following back :) can’t reply in the thread but they’re welcome to DM me or email me thru my website re mortician questions

finally have all the bits & bobs assembled so i can clean up & eventually setting stones! i cut the black jade & the pietersite from rough rock. bronze & sterling silver, all hand fabricated. also you can slip out the fish hooks & pop in an o ring to wear them as a pendant :) proud of myself!

2003 my prof Terri Hackett asked me about a cut I made in my canvas. Stretcher was showing. She said make the glimpse of stretcher intentional, “reward people for looking closely.” Brilliant! I added a doodle to the peek of stretcher. That critique has informed my art #decisions #marchmeetthemaker25

i went to go to bed the other day and a lil’ spider was hanging out on the wall so i popped him into a catch cup and gave him a meal in exchange for letting me take some pics w my microscope. p sure he’s selenops submaculosus! you can tell bc of crescent eye arrangement. selene = moon ops = eye 🌙

THREAD.

ok i am yelling and i should be winding down but the internet truly fucks w my blood pressure i stg that’s why i’ve cut back here are some nice things

GO EXIST IN THE WORLD AND MAKE IT BETTER WITH YOUR ACTIVE ACTIONS fr tho if you don’t know how your local government operates and you aren’t involved why why why why not

same thing that happened last week with borrenphol being dragged out of the idaho town hall. humans are exceedingly bad at making the first move when they feel like outnumbered minority, and our country is going to continue to burn because our elected representatives won’t act. USE YOUR BODY.

the GOP’s fascism is a fraud, sure, but the cowardice of the democratic party under this joke of what they call leadership ain’t far behind. @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, you planning on doing anything except skeeting? y’all sure as hell didn’t do jack tonight to fight fascism. embarrassing.

i rehoused spiders today instead of following the shit show of that authoritarian fascist pretending like he gives a fuck about democracy. watching my brown widow spin a new web was way more fucking interesting than giving him an iota of my time or attention

why must i be cursed with visible pores as a human being with skin

and yes! rupert is exceptionally cute! i agree! i just spent a good chunk of change on a custom vest, chest wrap, leash wrap, & patch tab for his sling to make it VERY CLEAR he is a service dog, but having a spare $165 is a privilege many of my disabled friends do not have.

honestly, the rest of us dog owners can help out as well by not rewarding this behavior. if some rando tries to get my dog's attention without getting my attention first, I sail right on past. that is rude and also potentially dangerous behavior.
