Having a wild Saturday night testing out Goose and Gosling blocks, the 2" was a little stressful but the points are pointing so we're good 🥳
It's been a heavy week, remember hope is a radical act - hold onto it ❤️

Employment discrimination cases will be off the charts. We’ve seen this before. Many employers will interpret recent declarations incorrectly. State & federal protections still abound and can’t be undone like that. No matter where you are, I can either help you or find a lawyer who can. Just fyi.

I’m writing something about what government around the world should do about ocean-based climate solutions. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy had some reports I wanted to see, but when I visited, they’re just gone. Sad.

I always get a little thrill when I'm testing out a pattern & successfully complete the 2" block, especially when they turn out this cute!

That’s it for tonight but I like the idea of stripping these down to black and white and I like the idea of a coloring book.

Creating my first original FYP pattern was honestly so fun.
I love making traditional quilt blocks into FYP patterns but you'll be seeing more originals and some applique patterns popping up too.

No. An executive order cannot simply overturn a Supreme Court ruling. They know that. That’s not the goal. They want three things: (1) to force the current Court to reinterpret the 14th amendment; (2) to test the limits of the executive-judiciary construct; and (3) to humiliate Kamala and her legacy

We must hold our energy boundaries for sustained resistance and change
You can walk away from circular arguments around literal human rights, especially with anyone "playing devil's advocate." The devil doesn't need an advocate when they're a billionaire

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism.
We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

I think my favorite part of the quilting process has to be tied between fabric selection and designing the pattern, loving how this Old Maids Puzzle foundation paper pieced block turned out 😊

The Liberal Party seems to be taking all the wrong lessons from the current political climate.
They're too far to the left. They need to embrace "radical centrism." They need a "middle of the road" leader.
Here's why I think these are woefully out-of-touch takeaways.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.
