Anyway, pretty much everything I'm doing this first half of the year is going to @ourfamilyourfight.bsky.social or @romancingthevote.com except cat toys and other random stuff up on Ko-fi. I've got this throw quilt still looking for a home and I may just put it up on RtV.

Fantastic article about the amazing work being done by the authors behind @romancingthevote.com. Sharing this with family and friends who are dealing with ICE in Washington state and might need whistles.
This whistle fights fascists
I print whistles now. You can too.

RTV will have strict no generative AI rules. I don't know what they they will be yet, and the fact that I'm saying that tells you it is not @courtneymilan.com posting, but we will have them and they will be explicit.
And heads up, #Romancelandia! I know we’re all enthusiastically prepping for @romancingthevote.com 2026. If you’re willing to critique someone’s manuscript be sure to state clearly “No AI” or you may wind up reading the most terrible soulless shit.

I have done a first pass and put 32 things on my watchlist.
👀 Looks like there are a lot of great things up at Publishing for Minnesota!
Seems like a perfect chance to stretch and get those bidding reflexes back in fighting shape!

Find ways to funnel your anger into things that help, whatever that looks like for you. I’ve been spite-crafting things for the @romancingthevote.com auction coming up in July, which will be the only way to get your hands on these particular shinies.

Finished packing up all the parfait and drink earrings for @romancingthevote.com aaaand an idea for a different set hit me. Dug through my stash and found some more wires so I could make tiny de-icer bottle earrings. Because ice is incompatible with democracy. #art #miniature #jewelry

Hey folks! We were planning to have the new site launched, but we got distracted by switching over our attention to 3D printing whistles to send across the country.
Please block out early July in your calendars, however, and start your evil planning. We'll be announcing more details soon! 💓

these are so violently cute, also next week I will hopefully be launching the new @romancingthevote.com website & sending out our first email with our official dates for 2026 and the warning for crafters to start their engines! <3
(obviously Zan is on our discord so engines start early there LOL)

I can’t fix the world, but I can try to make my corner of it a little bit brighter. Yesterday I spent awhile working on tiny trans and rainbow colored ice cream charms for @romancingthevote.com that I will probably turn into keychains or earrings or something.

I’ve loudly talked about how making stuff for @romancingthevote.com and other charitable auctions fills a lot of my time and it really really helps. Money for important orgs and I get to make wild things for appreciative people. Like this bag set I just finished!

Me, brandishing a bag full of 1,000 hinges: Would an unhinged person have *THIS*
In the 18 months since the last auction, both @courtneymilan.com and @mostlybree.kitrocha.com have acquired 3D printers, and I'm sure we're going to be totally normal and not at all unhinged with the powers this gives us.

we do get the best quilts every year!!!
Three of my intended entries—my designs are a lot simpler, but I make up for it in quantity! These are baby/lap quilt size. I think I have another one in purple too, but not sure where I stored it. (I did say I was ready!)
