Share a pic you've wanted to share but couldn’t find a reason to. This is one of the many photos I took at the Mid Atlantic Quilt Festival which gave me a huge inferiority complex.

You understand my vision.

I cancelled my donations to PP when they union busted their DC clinics a few years ago but this is even shittier. Blue Ridge Abortion Fund and the Yellowhammer Fund are abortion funds I can rec instead and I’m hoping to find good recs for trans healthcare to pass on. Or just trawl through GFM.

Went on a wildflower hike today at Bull Run Mountain Preserve and saw my first eft!

If you need something soothing and an excellent example of things tax dollars pay for, watch this livestream of deep sea exploration by NOAA and worldwide professionals. 🐠

Those quarter inch seam allowances really add up.

I think it’s been long enough that I can put my couple of extra #ofmdCraftFair bookmarks up for grabs. Pay what you want. The minimum covers my costs. ko-fi.com/s/66d003aac2

So my secondhand iPhone is giving me a message about the battery not being a recognized part. Is this going to be a problem long term considering I don't have an apple warranty on it anyway?

Got the flower beds weeded and successfully moved 80% of the sidewalk crack volunteer plants thanks to the soil being so soggy. Usually when I try even damp soil is still too tight to get the roots out of tight cracks but apparently 24 hours of rain did the trick. Free coreopsis and rudbeckia!

Today in slipper retrieval, I was brought one of mine, two of my spouse's, and the my second slipper only after I went halfway up the stairs with her so she'd quit shouting at me that she already brought me slippers why am I not satisfied???

Area dog who had CLEARLY already been out declared she needed to go out again (lie) and got the other one up. Now she refuses to get my slippers.

My household’s tariff hoarding buys: -25 lbs of rice -5lbs of fancy butter -a secondhand iPhone -a case of French cognac Normal, sensible things.

I have like four personal quilting projects I need to finish (one of which I need to, uh, start) and I'm like "but who's doing the next charitable auction and needs buy it nows?"

A neighbor parent who is clearly not having a fun night said "Get. Out. NOW." to a recalcitrant child in a car just as I was putting an envelope in the mailbox and I'm not going to say that I didn't jump a couple of inches as well.

THE INTERNET IS TRYING TO SELL ME DUCKS VIA EMAIL NOW.

Sinus pain radiating into the teeth can fuck off into the sun.
