“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” James Baldwin

I need this joy RIGHT NOW

Today’s caring for myself looks like Emergent Strategy by @adriennemareebrown.bsky.social and working on my knitted socks. I needed the words “Nothing in nature is disposable.” We are not disposable. We deserve love, care, and spaces for rest. #knitsocks #joyisresistance

My bestie loved their very belated Christmas gift! She looks adorable in it! Pattern: Wild Oleander Scarf Yarn: Lion Brand Mandala #crochet #fibersky #cowl

This. This was the joy my life needed right now.

As a limited-income, white, non-traditional student, with children DEI programs kept me persisting and retaining at my community college, state university, and private-religious grad school. I chose a career path to give back to the programs that helped me. Now I might be jobless at anytime.

In the states, it’s rare for a #highereducation institution to sponsor and hire a staff member who is an international applicant. I’d love to hear from current higher education staff members in #canada and the #uk if it’s a possibility for me as a DEI #sapro in the US to look internationally.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

Second project for the #skykal: first time doing two at a time socks (magic loop). Casting on took three tries but I got there! Also trying cuff down this time. I’m making them out of a Dream in Color worsted skein because I want warm cozy socks. #knitting #knitsocks #knit #fiberarts

FINALLY

We’re living in a wild timeline where in the future or our small talk in the United States could be: “Remember when chickens and science existed?”

Teaching one of my kiddos to sew was the best form of “joy as resistance” today. #sewing #quiltedbag #soproud #textiles

Me listening to Rage Against the Machine's first album when it was released: LOL, they want to tear the system down. That's funny. Me listening to it now, 30+ years later: You know, Zach, you make some mighty fine points here.

Hi, friend 😄

Who knew Biden could have just stormed into the White House, handed a friendly billionaire the keys to all the federal buildings, fired anyone who might have voted for Trump and imposed the Green New Deal, police, gun and voting reform and Roe v. Wade by force, without barely a peep from Congress.

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

My first ever sock and my first #skykal. This Lorna’s Laces yarn is a dream to knit with. #knitting #sockknitting

What do you do when your friend gifts you a single skein of their hand dyed sock yarn? You make a Lacy Batkus of course! #fibersky #knitscarf #knitting #fiberart #handmade

It was all in Project 2025…

I’m going to tackle my first pair of knitted socks soon. Send me your favorite two at a time toe up patterns! Can be free or paid, it just needs to be clear and easy to follow for an intermediate knitter. #knitting #socks #fibersky

The Trump administration has required that all communications and social media posts from federal agencies undergo prior approval before being shared. This directive is currently in effect until the end of the month.

My ability to stay focused on the horizon would be much so much easier if I had access to a 2025 guidebook by @chaninicholas.bsky.social. Are those getting released this year? Begging and pleading in Capricorn⬆️. 🙏🏼
