i truly believe things will get better & i will keep fighting for a just & kind world.

i'm beyond pissed that i probably won't live to see it, though.

the great thing about textile arts is that AI cannot wield a needle & thread or a crochet hook. it cannot toss a shuttle across a loom or spin yarn.

they may try to flood the pattern-making field, but AI cannot even make slop copies of the things i make with my own hands & brain.

@somewelshmook.bsky.social you need to read this!
I've removed the paywall permanently from this piece, which is a chapter from my novel Villager, told entirely in the form of an online village message board. If you like it, you'll probably like the book. If you don't, you won't...

The Village Message Board
Its authenticity was discredited because of his reputation, but also because he was quick with gin at the time and wearing an item of knitwear back to front.

do people on Facebook Marketplace do the thing where they list something for free but then in the description tell you prices or to make an offer?

i am giving Offer Up a go, but it seems that most listings are like that or selling overstock stuff.

This is your sign that you need to write and make art in 2026 that is weird, gorgeous, impossible, and uniquely you. That’s my plan. Who’s with me?

a very worthwhile read!
Are you curious about Palestinians, but you don’t know any, and have never engaged with them before?

I have a recommendation. Read this book. Thyme Travellers: An Anthology of Palestinian Speculative Fiction brings together fantasy and science fiction stories. www.goodreads.com/book/show/21...

A disturbing update to this story: Despite the fact that he was about to be released from a US prison after completing a sentence here, when Kelvin Membreño was deported to El Salvador he was sent to CECOT prison and remains there. The family has not heard from him since.
NEW — Kelvin Membreño will be deported to El Salvador by ICE tomorrow. He’s the birth father of three US citizen daughters and has become an important part of their lives.

Here their adoptive mother makes a last ditch plea to let him stay in the same country as the girls. A gutting guest essay:
A mother's urgent plea to stop ICE from deporting her daughters’ birth father tomorrow
He served his time in the US. He deserves to heal here, too.

My one issue is "do you see all human beings as equitably entitled to basic human rights and dignity, or do you see some people as acceptable losses or sacrifices?"
