People are seeking books to teach their kids about diversity & belonging. What I hear: They're looking for books from a plethora of perspectives! Here are a few books, you & your kids may already be reading them ☺️ (🧵 1/4)

I will have several of these cuddly dragons looking for their forever home at the ren faire! Perfect for fantasy lovers who want a new snuggle buddy ❤️ Pattern by: @decrochetbysisters

Hot tip: when making amigurumi don’t store your to be sewn on pieces inside the unstuffed plushie… my baphomet definitely doesn’t have a snout IN his head… definitely not…

Putting love (and cat hair) in every stitch ❤️

Why say 'Protect trans kids'? Because they're some of the most vulnerable queer people. If trans adults have difficulty advocating and meeting our needs, trans kids have it worse. We want them to know we support them. Even if its hard for them right now, it will get better 🏳️‍🌈 #queerart #transrights

My crocheted T-Rex has little arms, but that doesn’t stop him from giving the best hugs! ❤️🦖

These little loaf cats are one of my favorite things to crochet ❤️ I can’t do a lot about the state of the world, but I can be gay and make art 🏳️‍🌈❤️

I’ll be posting this today
