Trump is planning a military parade in DC on June 14, but the biggest story of that day will be the actions we take everywhere else. I'm rallying on No Kings Day to reject strongman politics and corruption. app.sosha.ai/s/10urzyXh

The always amazing Luke Haynes has finished a new project using quilts as shade structures in the hot sun of Phoenix, AZ. Fantastic.

Quilt Architecture is one of nine installations that will be across Phoenix this summer as part of ¡Sombra!

A most delightful day exploring Valparaíso along the Chilean coast— I mean, there’s a lot of it. Street art, street dogs, weird wine contraptions (if a butt plug and a crack pipe walked into a bar…), and a fabulous glass of red. Estoy contento.

It is quilted!!! Now to figure out how I want to bind it. I have ideas. #benitamakes #colortheoryquilt #quilts #quilting #quiltsofbluesky

A me-made t-shirt I just finished in my favorite color. It fits! It’s got a collar! It’s hemmed nicely! And I didn’t have to fight the sewing machine and fabric because I finally nailed the alchemy between walking foot, stretch needles, and tension. 😌

My version of a Libs Elliott pattern that she made using code. I was hooked by the idea and had to do it! “Rebel Quilt” is her title. Perfect.

NYC, it is happening here. ICE agents in plain clothes waited outside a courtroom earlier today to kidnap people. New Yorkers mobilized quickly to block them, but the NYPD, collaborating with ICE, aggressively broke it up and arrested people. See thread for more videos from @gwynnefitz.bsky.social.

One of my favorite backs of a quilt I made a few years ago. Flying into NYC and getting ever closer to landing was the inspiration.

Made this quilt for my friends who live in Key West, FL

The simplicity of the image, a light switch, a wall and sunlight, is why I love photography. #Stunday #eastcoastkin #photography #simplicity #sunlight #peaceful #texture #stillness #sonyrx100 #afternoon

Andry Hernandez Romero, the Venezuelan makeup artist sent to a notorious Salvadoran prison, claimed asylum in the US because he was persecuted as a gay man. Chris Van Hollen met in El Salvador with Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Andry lived in San Diego—why hasn’t Alex Padilla or Adam Schiff met with him? 🤨
