My fellow Texas Democrats and I broke quorum to shine a national spotlight on Trump’s redistricting power grab.
We inspired other states and millions of Americans to join the fight.
Moments ago a federal court struck down his rigged map.
This is why we fight back.

I feel like people who don't like candy corn don't understand how to eat it.
You're not supposed to chew.
You just swallow it with water, like a pill.

Sewing pattern makers who use GenAI for the finished garment images should be kicked off of every platform for fraud. If you, as the creator, can’t make the garment and take a photo of it, you shouldn’t be selling the pattern.
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

My Texas voter registration has been pending for 3 MONTHS! The deadline to register is Oct 6 so who knows if I’ll be able to vote. I’ve made so many phone calls and sent emails. Spoke to county officials, Secretary of State people. No one seems to care or is able to help.

This dress would fix me
Summer may be on the wane here but there are golden moments still with September sunsets. James Galanos created this burnished silk chiffon sundress in the mid #1950s, form fitting at the bodice and layers for the skirt @phxart.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

So I still use Pinterest to gather ideas and I’ve noticed that there is so much AI trash on there now. Sometimes images are labeled as AI but most are not. It’s getting frustrating to use since I have to question every other image.

Owning an old house is not for the weak. What was supposed to be a simple foundation leveling has turned into a semi-renovation. The plan was to phase out the work we had planned through the end of the year but now it’ll have to be done a lot sooner.

She ain’t cute, she ain’t straight, but she’s done. Used scrap wood left over from making the coop. Now my chickens need to actually start laying eggs

The end of summer has been a blur of job interviews, home repairs, and a property tax protest. Now I’m almost done with onboarding at my new job, home repairs are underway (though still stressful), and the tax protest went better than expected. Fingers crossed fall is more fun.

Just had to trick myself into doing some low dopamine tasks by setting a 15 min timer. How’s your night going?

Well this sucks. I will say that not all Shipley’s locations taste the same and I have a single favorite location in the city. I hope they don’t change 🥲
