It is currently 8:36 AM in the UK. I am spending the day in a meeting and taking an 8 PM flight home. Somehow I land in Boston at 10:30 PM for a total of 48.5 hours wheels up to wheels down. For now in a Wildfang suit, thrifted French cuff shirt and cufflinks, found scarf, determination.

I’m on a 2 day jaunt to the UK to disrupt the wealth management industry, so I decided to lean in to the Thrifted Dandy esthetic. Schoolboy blazer and French cuff dress shirt procured on Poshmark, gifted thrifted scarf and pocket square, estate sale pansy lapel pin. #ButchDandy #OOTD #TDOV
A nonbinary person stands before a full length hotel mirror wearing a navy and white striped schoolboy blazer, a light blue French cuff dress shirt, a red, navy, and cream polka dot neckerchief, navy speckled trousers, and navy and light blue dress shoes. We know it’s about the details. A light blue and white pansy pin with a pearl center on a navy and white pinstripe blazer. We know it’s about the details. A silk pocket square printed like a piece of college ruled notebook paper in the pocket of a navy and white striped schoolboy blazer.

Made good use of my time at the @justeconomy.bsky.social #JustEconomy2025 conference by working on my #ResistHat, doing a 27 year glow-up visit to Capitol Hill w @magaziner.house.gov, and getting to know my @localreturn.bsky.social compatriots better. Bringing home so much info! #KnitSky 🧶

If you’re not familiar with the term “network state” now is a great time to familiarize yourself.

You probably don’t know that #Welding is my #QueerRoot. That scene in #Flashdance where Jennifer Beals takes off her helmet & shakes out all that hair was everything to this Pittsburgh kid. So I really enjoyed the #SFOAirport exhibit on #RosieTheRiveter. Joan of Arc pageant? Yes please!

I lost a dear friend in January, days before she died we had made a plan for ice cream today while I was in her area. In her honor I had a double scoop in a waffle cone in view of the Bay Bridge. I think she would approve. I love you and miss you Court.

My travel schedule this year doesn’t leave room for traditional #Purim fun and #Antizionist stuff can be hard to find on the road so I’m drinking #Tequila in the Charlotte airport in a #Hamantaschen hat watching fire trucks flood the tarmac. I’m sure #EverythingIsFine. I think Esther would approve.

It’s a great time to call your Senators and tell them you expect them to vote NO for cloture and NO on the continuing resolution, basically a short term budget bill that locks in some bad stuff.
4taxfairness.bsky.social Americans for Tax Fairness @4taxfairness.bsky.social · Mar 13
There is absolutely no reason to vote for the current Continuing Resolution.

—It gives Elon Musk free rein to slash programs families depend on
—It tees up massive tax breaks for billionaires
—It even guts IRS funding for catching rich tax cheats

We can do better than that.

Good morning! Time change side effect is I’m up for the sun rising over my neighbor’s house again. These times are making me appreciate #SmallJoys again. What’s getting you through?

Freaking FINALLY got these #BrainlessSocks off my needles and onto my feet. It’s my favorite travel pattern because it’s, well, brainless, but sometimes that means a lil #knitting project takes way longer than necessary. But don’t worry I have another pair on needles! What are you making? #KnitSky

Just checked my watch and it’s #CuteBatOclock. Having a friend rewrite this meme for me to be #nonbinary inclusive yet specific to my interests made me feel really loved. How are you loving up on the #Queer, #Trans, and #Enby folks in your life? And/or how are you celebrating #Bats?
A photo shows a pink skinned human hand holding a small brown bat with its wings extended. The text reads “You may fascinate a *Jenn* by giving *them* a little palm sized bat.” Asterisks indicate where a newly typed word was pasted over the original text. If there is a better way for me to describe this please let me know, I’m trying to get better at alt text descriptions!

I’m trying not to make this a cesspool of horrors but this is really scary. Homeland Security detaining and executing an extraordinary rendition order for someone with a legal green card for engaging in peaceful protest is really really bad. There should be nonpartisan outrage and action!

The detention of Mahmoud Khalil puts all Americans fundamental rights at risk. And if you can’t see that because you oppose his politics, well that’s exactly the reaction Trump and his cronies are counting on. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...
Mahmoud Khalil’s Detention Is a Trial Run
The pro-Palestine student was arrested without due process for exercising his right to free speech. He will not be the last.

When you don’t feel like getting going, make your #OOTD a bright sweater and take a selfie in your friend’s teal bathroom. Pretty Snake argyle cat sweater; Pushcart Judaica hamantaschen hat; Urban Body Jewelry earrings; scratches by my nibblings. #QueerStyle #BuyLocal #ShopSmall #FitCheck
A person stands in a teal alcove wearing a red, orange, and yellow argyle sweater with a pyramid of black cat silhouettes with large orange beaded eyes, black hoop earrings, glasses, and a pale orange hat that says “hamantaschen” (a cookie for the Jewish holiday of Purim) in white script. They have a faint smile and a scratch on their upper lip from their baby nibbling and on their chin from their 4 year old nibbling. Too much roughhousing!

Some days are an embarrassment of riches and today’s #OOTD reflects that. @nooworks.bsky.social painters pants in the most incredible print, #MeMade #FairfieldShirt in Joann flannel (RIP), Cats Against Catcalls crew neck, keffiyeh, #MeMade socks. Off for some somatic work for facing fear! 🧶🧵🪡
A short haired person stands in front of a full length mirror wearing red, black, and orange handknit socks; bright red painters pants printed with black vampire mouths, bloodshot eyeballs with bat wings, and the grim reaper; a white flannel shirt printed with black outlined hands making shadow puppet animals and the black shadows; a black sweatshirt with a line drawing of an upright sitting cat with script reading “cats against catcalls; a black and white keffiyeh, and large black hoop earrings.

I don’t know why it just occurred to me today that I could wear this gifted @nooworks.bsky.social turtleneck with the matching jumpsuit but I am real excited about it! #MeMade #Handknit armwarmers and socks, Muffy Brandt witch finger necklace, gifted cashmere pompom hat round out #OOTD. #Knitsky 🧶
A person stands in front of a full length mirror wearing a dusty purple hat with a fur pompom; a short sleeved jumpsuit and turtleneck printed with flaming dice, padlocks, snakes, spiderwebs, urns with wilting roses, keys and chains on a black background; a hot pink witch finger necklace (a brass cast of the rubber kids toys), armwarmers in a pink and black yarn; pink variegated socks, and a big grin. Same outfit just closeup from the waist up; the person has their eyes open wide in an expression of excitement with a big smile and their tongue stuck out.

It was a heck of a week but I took a little time out for a program called Process as Power and crafting in community and caught this snap in the museum bathroom. Pretty Snake Bone Church sweatshirt; Savage x Fenty sweatpants; keffiyeh; KN-95; mutual support; gratitude. #fitcheck #ootd

The invite to a tea party in support of RI’s Semiquincentennial (250th) made me think “what hat should I wear?” Vintage 1940s black straw with pearl pins, thrifted silk beaded vest, black French cuff shirt, thrifted fringed black jeans, vagina dentata scarf, revolutionary heart. #FitCheck #ootd
A person stands in front of a full length mirror wearing a small brimmed 1940s vintage black straw hat with a velvet ribbon around the crown and two crossed pearl hat pins in the front bow; black spiral earrings; a fully beaded and sequined black vest, a black long sleeved shirt with French cuffs fastened with vintage 1920s snapped cufflinks with mother of pearl inlay; black jeans with silver fringe at each hip, fastened with a simple black leather belt with a silver buckle; and black socks with white bats and moons printed.
