Canvas is on the frame and ready to stitch! I have all the yarn except the background because I'll need 14 skeins (!!!). It's been ordered all at once so it'll be all from the same dye lot.
Haven't decided if I'll need to lash on the sides. Might end up doing that later. 🧶 #needlepoint #yarn

I recently took up #needlepoint and I'm enjoying it so much that for my second project, I chose an 18x12 pattern in 18 mesh canvas.
Cuz I'm on this earth for punishment 🤣
But I found my mom's old scroll frame lap stand! Needs longer scrolls, but I'm excited to use this tool!

Why did no one tell me that Record Store Day is a thing?!? Good thing there's still enough time to go to our local and find something to ship to MySonTheMarine.

Life has become a balancing act predicated on the amount of rage I can absorb from the enraging reality we live in
And not giving into either numb helplessness or screaming at my family
While still taking action to help those in need
And continuing to garden and sew and write joy and love.

It took 12 hours, but I downloaded the 4500 ebooks I've purchased from Amazon onto Calibre. Now I OWN them. Not just a license to the content, but the actual content I paid for.
From now on, I'll be purchasing through Bookshop.org, author websites, or some other retailer.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

I’m seeing a lot of soft takes from industry mutuals at the moment that we shouldn’t be so hard on those who use generative AI because it’s becoming harder and harder to resist.
Wrong. Betraying your ethics (and your peers) because ‘everyone else is doing it’ does not suddenly make it acceptable.
