"This is unconstitutional," I scream as the facial recognition equipped robot dogs drag me to my cell.

"This goes against everything America stands for!" I shout, as the algorithmic sentencing machine condemns me to death.

"This is not who we are!" I remind the firing squad of child soldiers

The Supreme Court is hearing arguments today about Tennessee's ban on gender-affirming care for young people. This is not a both-sides story. One side is right and the other is dangerously wrong. Nazis were the first people to try to destroy trans health care. @bschillace.brandyschillace.com (1/n)

Finally done!

The other side of The Thing didn't want to be green in the end.

Finished the thing. Now, thinking about the options for the one to pair it with on the inside.

It may end up violently green.

If you don’t know why Substack should not be supported, they directly fund many of the most hateful leaders of the attacks on trans people, and their CEO explicitly refuses to stop people who spread white supremacy on the platform. https://www.tiktok.com/@decoderpod/video/7221602731998498094

Our host Nilay asked Substack CEO Chris Best the tough questions about whether racist speech should be allowed in their new consumer product, Substack Notes. #techtok #technews #substack #ceo

Planning the next project in between tidying up, drinking coffee and checking what my favourite black metal bands have been up to recently.

Happy Sunday, my lovelies! <3

Good morning, world :)

New knitting project keeps looking like one of these hidden pictures, but I can't see what it says no matter how much I squint!

At least I'm getting the hang of using two yarns held in one hand :D
