making physical objects is fun and affirming, even more so with secondhand materials. here’s a dress from an old duvet cover.

Important to stop phrasing & headlining things as "Trump does XXX" (e.g. "Trump fires all USPS heads and integrates it under Commerce"); we can simply say he is purporting to do XXX, or claiming the power to do XXX.
Mere fact of a president saying he did something doesn't will it into existence.

The National Parks are one of this country’s Crown Jewels, they are a huge tourism draw both internally and for foreign visitors which drives local economies, and these people want to destroy them
man you've really just gotta hate America and its citizens to cut back on the damn National Park Service. you've gotta have no interest in what makes our country unique and no desire for people to experience it
Bright passionate people who wanted to dedicate their lives to public service were fired in a mass email over the holiday weekend.
This has absolutely nothing to do with efficiency, fraud, waste, or abuse. And your life will be worse because of it.

hello cis friends
this is what people mean by trans genocide
if a type of person does not officially exist, then any harm against them cannot be measured or reported
this headline change isn't even being caused by an executive order
it's simply the NYT editors deciding we don't deserve to exist

They didn't even bother putting a gender marker on US passports until 1977. We could just drop them entirely. They serve no purpose but for the cruelty of fucking with the rules related to them.

we now have some protection from elderly dog bed-wetting. secondhand flannel-backed vinyl + a cotton top simple blanket. it’ll be good for outdoor time too, but I should probably quilt it.

I recommend wearing something really cheerful when you’re feeling bad. I still/again have a sore throat that kept me awake last night, but I love this skirt I made and so do lots of folks out in the world!
