Finished the outer shell for my new crochet project bag! I am mostly using McCall's M7265 pattern for Bag B, but I'm making a few tweaks here and there so the bag better suits how I plan to use it (most modifications are on the inside).

NOAA returns/produces so much more money to the American economy than it costs, no stories about any of this should allow them the absolutely bullshit "savings" framing

The voluntary recall covers 13 products sold at major grocery stores in 26 states and the District of Columbia. It was triggered by defective packaging that poses the risk of food poisoning.

Driving scares me so much. I do it, but only because I have to where I live (USA). I hate the way deaths by car crashes are treated as unavoidable accidents that are an inevitable part of life. They are so high because this country is so damn car-dependant that you risk a crash just going to work.

We need a co-ed sports league that just sidesteps all of this nonsense and lets people of all genders play together. Put people in height or weight brackets if a person's size gives too much of an advantage.

Siren Queen by @nghivo.bsky.social is a breathtaking work of literature. I just finished listening to the audio book, and it still lights up the part of my brain that wants to write essays on evocative imagery and the beautiful blending of magic and metaphor. It is dark and haunting and triumphant.

@kdedwardsnc.bsky.social I am a big fan of your writing, specifically the Tarot Sequence. I love your characters and how they come alive on the page. I am excited to see where you take your characters next, and where they take you in turn.

What is the fucking point of a society if it's not a way to organize helping those who need it? Of making sure every person in that society has the bare minimum a human needs to survive? To help each other when we're hungry or cold or sick? Don't we want better? #politics #raisethefloor

@danielleradford.bsky.social I recently finished Misfits and Magic Season 2, and I loved it. Season 1 healed something that Rowling broke in me, and Season 2 truly went past that. I loved your performance and Sam's journey. In a room full of heavy hitters, I think you made me laugh and cry the most.

Just finished my niece's baby blanket. I still need to put a border on it, but I'm happy with how it's turned out so far. It's Tunisian crochet in the ocean stitch. Notebook for scale. #crochet #tunisiancrochet #fiberarts

Just a reminder that #amazon has the power to stop the strike at any time by meeting the workers' demands. It has not kept up its responsibility as an employer to take care of their employees. Anyone who worked at Amazon knows this, and many have talked to their friends about it. Support workers.

Fantastic episode all around. Very funny, creative challenges, and it looked like everyone had fun!

Finished my first big rollator modification today! I made a pillow for the middle part of the backrest, then I made a neoprene cover to hold the pillow, then a canvas cover to be able to wash and add personality. I'm happy with how it turned out! #mobilityaid #pots #fibromyalgia

What I didn't understand when I was first starting is that sewing is only ~10% using the sewing machine. The rest is all of the planning and prep to do that 10%. And the more planning and prep you do, the easier sewing the seam on a machine will be. #fiberarts #sewing

The fabric/craft store is like the hardware store - for every project over a certain size, you have to keep going back for the "one" more thing that you forgot or didn't realize you'd need #fiberarts #diy

I love Video Games as much as I hate AI, which is a lot! AI is unethical and a tool for those who lack creativity. The fact that anyone would want to use it in creating art makes me sick. Video game actors are still on strike and deserve fair wages, safe working conditions and A.I. protections.

@aabria.bsky.social I'm such a fan of you as a GM. Your narration and story-craft are beautiful and evocative. Your world building is detailed and well-thought-out. But I think the thing I love the most is how you carefully craft the stage for your players to shine, and celebrate when they do.
