Reminder that the US under both R and D administrations sent billions of dollars in weapons to Saudi Arabia, including illegal cluster munitions, to kill Yemeni kids.
And the US, under both R and D administrations, is still sending billions of dollars in weapons for the UAE to do genocide in Sudan

It’s been a minute since I last shared some dye projects with y’all. I’ve been busy with traveling, harvesting indigo plants I grew this year, and making some indigo vats to dye cloth. But don’t worry - I’ll be dyeing up some new shirts this weekend!

The Grandma/Old Lady cliche is lazy writing. Knitters have always been all ages. They were only invisible because so called women’s work was overlooked.
“Recent studies suggest that slow, tactile tasks, such as knitting, may activate brain systems in ways that support long-term cognitive health in various ways, including engaging memory, attention, and motor function, while helping to regulate stress.”

How knitting may be rewiring your brain
“Grandma hobbies” like knitting are making a comeback among Gen Z—but it’s not just for nostalgia. Neuroscience shows these tactile pastimes may help preserve brain health as we age.

Something new & different: a reverse. I tied up this black shirt and removed sections of dye before re-dyeing in shades of purple.

Highly recommend plopping down in the middle of a garden and watching the floral visitors for a few hours.

If you are arrested in Illinois protesting this new Israeli invasion and occupation of Gaza, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

Jack’s pieces are always beautiful. The tariffs are about to hurt so many small businesses. So if you’ve been eyeing any of these, please do go ahead and buy that gift for a loved one or yourself.
If I'm about to be screwed by tariffs, I need to sell as much as possible *ASAP*. I need to get August rent cleared, and I need to replace my phone - that will at least let me work on photography.
