Came across this ALA SRRT pamphlet “What is fascism?” Just takes a minute to read and helps to make sense of the chaos happening in the US. My sympathies to my American friends, but also, stand up for democracy in any way you can. sites.google.com/view/srrt-pa...

First sewing project of 2025. Pattern: Butterick #B6332. Outer fabric: burgundy/gold brocade gifted by my neighbour. Lining: rayon. This jacket is basically never going into the washer, or making direct contact with an iron.
