Personally irrelevant, Textile Tinkerer, Sewist, Tailor, amateur photographer. I do recreations of 16th-17th c. Clothing as time allows and recently became a vintage sewing machine enthusiast.

1) Ok, so as promised yesterday, ( and hoping my internet connection stabilizes) , a thread on fashion history, art history, personal history, and some sewing thrown in about probably my favorite Renaissance fashion pants style, #PLUDERHOSE!

The fact that this is not the plot of a movie makes me want to lay down in a darkened room for a bit.
The thing that makes the most sense at the moment is that the President‘s organization overthrew Epstein with Netanyahu’s blessing and is now in control of that network. That’s how he can shake down the nation’s most prestigious institutions.

Guardian: Murdoch’s NY Post’s Editorial Board:
“Mr President, the American people didn’t vote for these scenes, and you cannot continue to order them not to believe their lying eyes.”
Murdoch did as much as anyone to create the would-be tyrant Donald Trump. No redemption for that asshole.

Three of the women I work with today damn near made me cry. The pulled me into the receiving area and said they wanted to thank me and gave me a small bag. Inside the bag was a Thank You card with a Pick N Save gift card and a box of Marzipan (one had asked me awhile back what my favorite candy was)

It's hard for me to imagine this is being seriously discussed. This fundamental is not only a constitutional mandate, it's near the top of the Bill of Rights.
Former DHS top lawyers for Dem & GOP admins agree: no judicial warrant, no entry. “Attempting to tarnish department attorneys as “deep state” operatives for giving legal advice that is faithful to the Constitution is not only offensive but also dangerous.” www.nytimes.com/2026/02/02/o...

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie
Stop slouching, drink some water, take your meds
Be angry. Help when you can and ask for help when you need it
Someday the tiny cryptids won’t squabble about everything, but today is not that day. It’s hard to put shape-shifting creatures in time out

“Stop the steal” but only if those (checks notes) *registered voters* don’t look, love, live, worship, or talk like we do. Am I right?
Trump: "These people were brought to our country to vote, & they vote illegally. The Republicans should say, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places. The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting. We have states that I won that show I didn't win. You're gonna see something in Georgia"

I have been sitting here trying to think of anything good or right that Donald Trump has done. Anything that is not to his benefit and only helps someone else. I can't think of a thing. Everything he does or says is always the opposite of right or good. He has no redeeming qualities at all. None.

Trump reversed decades of national security objections to selling advanced AI chips to UAE. National security experts were alarmed.
But there was a secret. Before the deal, UAE had sent $187M to the Trumps and $31M to the Witkoffs in secret payments.
