Working on fill on this cross stitch and cuddling with a doggy today

#SewSky You know those presser feet you always see in IG reels? The really narrow ones for super precision? What do I need to search to find if one exists that would work for my Janome MOD-30? #Sewing

Say it after me: Chat GPT is not a search engine. It does not scan the web for information, it just generates statistically likely sentences. You cannot use it a search engine, or as a substitute for searching. Now. Please never use an LLM for information searches ever again.

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Today, Marjorie Taylor Greene’s DOGE subcommittee is wasting time and resources to hold an illegitimate and hate-filled hearing targeting trans athletes. It’s nothing more than a political stunt meant to reinforce harmful stereotypes.

Alright! It's finally out! Determination, a cross stitch pattern inspired by the video game Undertale, is available as a digital download on my PayHip stitchesandstringtheory.com/b/vigSs #CrossStitch #VideoGames

Hmm interesting, but did Maine try giving Trump what he wants and getting kicked in the face anyway?

If a stranger posts about how happy a silly little pleasure made them and your response is to be an asshole and make fun of them it’s time to re-examine your whole life. It’s 2025. We no longer shit on other people’s joy if it’s not hurting anyone else. This is loser behavior.

Accountability post! My donation to @nwlc.org from sales of the Unfree Shawl in April (minus the week already covered at the end of the Unfree MAL) #craftivism

It's May first! My favorite day of the year because I get to share my favorite @jonathancoulton.bsky.social song. Not safe for work; listener discretion is advised. open.spotify.com/track/23ccw9...

The last sentence is so important. Even if you're against illegal immigration, so many of the people being detained right now are not here illegally. They're being kidnapped at asylum hearings and immigration check-ins, and exiled without any of the due process the law demands

This is why I always work my cross stitch and knitting patterns myself before selling them, and why I won't buy patterns without a FO picture. Looking good on the screen does not always mean it will look good irl. Frogging and readjusting this one. Gold star to anybody who knows what it will be.

So many great games in this lineup! I'm particularly excited for Pokemon Crystal rando #VideoGames #Speedrunning

Somebody help me remember to release this fucking cross stitch pattern on Saturday or it's never coming out. I swear, my brain is a sieve lately

Please help us correct misinformation! Our hotline is being incorrectly shared as "Canada's national suicide hotline open toll free for Americans". We are not a general crisis hotline, we exist exclusively to support the trans community. Find out more @ translifeline.org

Hi friends, please consider sending an email through Protect My Public Media. The White House is calling for a rescission of 2025 funding for stations across the U.S. 🥺 #protectmypublicmedia #pbs #npr protectmypublicmedia.org/rsc-emails/

Just got this incredible commission from @sgtmug.com and I looooove them! Thank you, mug, for drawing my silly request! These are going to get printed on a pair of coffee cups. And a notebook. And maybe something else. #Zelda #LegendOfZelda #Tarot

It's lovely outside today, so I'm listening to the birds and working on my Grandma's Medley sweater by Tina Tse Knits. Yarn is from @sweetpaprikadesigns.com and stitch marker is from @anrti.bsky.social #Knitting 🧶
