These skeins are beautiful AND they’re for a great cause, so you can make a pretty thing and support a community who really needs it while you do. (Also I’ve made several things from RoY’s yarn now, so I can confirm that their wool is both really pretty and really soft and very nice to wear)

The antidote to all this overwhelming news, being hit w/ a myriad of policy changes & awful language is to stay calm. Fascists thrive when we are confused & feel too overwhelmed to do anything. Have some peacock colored yarn to soothe the soul. 🧶 Re-center, stay focused. ✊🏾 #yarnsky

We’ve hit that point near the end of winter/getting to the beginning of spring where the sky just feels higher up, like there’s more space between the ground and the sky. The angle of the light has changed and there’s more space to just *breathe*

More of the approach that's never worked once in political history: screaming "we're racist!" at the far right in the vain hope that people *who despise you* will switch from more racist parties, without your horrified base switching to less racist ones. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Halabeez for your halakeyz! In all seriousness though, if you’re going to the #Ateez concert today find me! I will give you one! (I have green hair and I’ll be wearing a jumper like Yunho’s in their 4th anniversary video, and hopefully there aren’t too many of us who match that description)

An absolute resource rich thread of California agencies you can donate to or amplify right now for the LA fires. Thanks to Celeste for putting this together!

These teenagers and young men — 95% of whom are Black, Latinx, or Filipino — earn between $2.20 and $4 per hour, plus an additional $1 an hour when they’re actively fighting fires, according to the DJJ. ⤵️

I’ve been trying to learn medieval embroidery methods for a couple of days now and I need you to see this peacock. Namely, that it isn’t one. The civet cat above it at least COULD be a civet cat.

Do I need to do the thread here about the Vikings and people with disabilities? Do I need to tell the tale of Ivar the Boneless? Or the seer in the ship burial at Oseberg? Is that what needs to happen?
