Heads up for crafters: Great American LLC has won the bid for Joann. They’re a liquidator, so ALL Joann stores will be closed by end of May. Stock up on everything NOW and if you have an independent fabric store near you, start using it 😢

When you visit the parks enjoy your time and you see the rangers smiling and helping. Just remember that they probably didn't sleep the night before and that they probably spent the evening crying. We've also been secretly training bears to use tasers so if you're an asshole...

a new agency made of teenage neonazis and drug dealers is in charge of the entire government. the richest man in the world, who gave a nazi salute at the president's inauguration, says he is in charge. officially, he isn't. the government won't tell the courts who is in charge

Going to try and do a #the100dayproject - spending 20-30 minutes in my sewing room doing something. Hoping that is vague enough that it gives me rest days to not wreck my wrists- and I reserve the right to drop out whenever 😅🥲

Wear a mask to protect yourself and others who may be particularly vulnerable to covid and other viruses, including the elderly and immunocompromised. It’s the right thing to do and costs you nothing. #MaskUp

Gov. Mills showed precisely the sort of integrity in the face of political pressure that the majority of the party currently lacks. More importantly, she did so extemporaneously and without hesitation from a purple state where this isn't a universally popular position. www.maine.gov/governor/mil...

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump. “We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing. It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America” But it never stops there. They got the memo. Good job AP.

It is mind-boggling to me that people say "but I had to comply with the fascists because otherwise there would be some cost—" NO FUCKING KIDDING. Did you think you'd never have to make a hard choice in Fascist America? That you wouldn't be asked to sacrifice someone and be rewarded for it?? JFC

Here's Skarsgård (in the suit I worked on!?) as #murderbot from yesterday's AV Club reveal article. SO happy for @marthawells.com - just beyond words, and am glad to finally be able to say so 😭 I got lucky to be asked onto the project, and learned so much from so many awesome humans along the way!

Should I do a sewing #the100dayproject ? Last time I tried doing a self directed 30 day challenge my wrists and shoulders did not agree to the challenge… so I’m trying to think of something that would be achievable 🤔

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

They say that all that’s needed for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing. So today, do something. Help a stranger. Buy someone coffee or a meal. Donate to mutual aid. Elevate marginalized voices. Give to a community library or fridge. Learn something. Wear a mask. Practice community care.
