Lunch follow by a book, outside under a tree with dappled sunlight and a light sorting breeze. Happy. #booksky #cozyvibes
A Kindle open to a book in the foreground, two fuzzy boots up on a table, a mattering of plants under an evergreen and deciduous, bear trees, with blue sky, and a few clouds

Picture of a postcard that says the majority of American support background checks, 86%, trans rights protections, 74%, safe and legal abortion, 70%, paths to citizenship, 70%. These are not extreme ideas. This is our common ground.

I feel like it would be an incredible work place accommodation if neurodivergent people could just say in work emails:

*friendly noises*

Do you have that thing and if not when?

*appreciation noises*

Not sure how many WIPs I actually have (a lot!), but it turns out I'm not indecisive, I'm curating a collection of mood boards! 🧶

A wooden chalkboard sandwich board outside a store, on the sidewalk. In chalk, it says I don’t have WIPs, I have a curated collection of mood based knitting options, and the word knitting is crossed out and replaced with crochet by digital editing.

Today is the beginning of a cause dear to my heart! @trreadathon.bsky.social is an initiative encouraging people to read books about trans characters and/or by trans authors, and donating to trans causes in the lead up to #TODV. For more info: transrightsreadathon.carrd.co #transrightsreadathon
A poster showing the cover for Strange Bedfellows with the text "Read Strange Bedfellows for the Trans Rights Readathon" A graphic that reads: about the trans rights readathon: The Trans Rights Readathon is an annual call to action to readers and book lovers in support of Trans Day of Visibility (TDOV) on March 31st. This year's Trans Rights Readathon will take place from Friday, March 21 to Monday, March 31, 2025. During the 11 days of the readathon (March 21-31), read trans* books and donate to trans* organizations. This is a decentralized fundraiser, so how you participate is up to you. You can read 1 book or 20 books. You can donate to a large organization or a personal GoFundMe. This year, we will also be sharing calls to action on over social media during the 11-day event. A graphic that reads: trans rights are being threatened everywhere. With sweeping legislation anti-trans being introduced all over the world, it's more important than ever to not only vocally support trans people, but to monetarily support us and our organisations as well. Our right to bodily autonomy and self determination are being stripped from us everyday, when all we want to do is live our lives. Our existence in your vicinity is not a threat. A graphic that reads: australian trans orgs While the Trans Rights Readathon page links to US based organisations to support, I wanted to highlight a few places you can donate to in Australia: -Transgender Victoria -Zoe Belle Gender Collective -Transcend Australia They are all easily searchable and have donation links on their websites.

SHE’S HERE! The Trans Rights Readathon has officially begun! ✨🥳🎊🎉📚 #booksky #trr25 #transrightreadathon
Slide 1: Pink, white, and blue text over a background image of a trans flag. Text Reads: The 2025 Trans Rights Readathon: A decentralized grassroots event that focuses on UPLIFTING trans books, AMPLIFYING trans stories, and SUPPORTING trans organizations and communities. March 21-31, 2025. Slide 2: Text Reads: The #TRR Isn’t Just Reading, It’s Action! The Trans Rights Readathon encourages readers to seek out works by and/or about trans, nonbinary, 2Spirit, and gender non-conforming authors and characters. Along with taking action on the mutual, local, and national level! Image includes a blue box with the word UPLIFT, a white box with the word AMPLIFY, and a pink box with the word SUPPORT with a dollar sign in place of the S. Slide 3: Text Reads: It’s not too late to sign up! You can find resources, graphics, and more information via our website. We also encourage you to sign up and so we can communicate with you throughout the readathon. This effort is decentralized. We encourage you to get involved and support your local community directly! Slide 4: Text Reads: Get Loud, Stay Loud. Trans people, trans voices, trans stories have always been here, and will always remain. If this is your first or third readathon, you’re an author or a reader, an accomplice, young or old—let’s always remain loud for Trans Rights!

I finished my thigh high leg warmers!!! These will make it much warmer, being outside in my wheelchair, without having to get something over my butt! Or managing flapping blankets. I crocheted them together from knit squares I did ages ago. I'm really pleased with them! 🧶♿
A person’s legs stretched out in front of them, on an ottoman with a striped gray and blue blanket. You can see the bottom of a black and white and blue and pink, striped shirt, and the tops of some blue and gray leggings with leaf patterns. The rest of the legs are covered in knitted leg warmers from ankle to upper thigh, made of squares with a teal blue poinsettia, motif in the middle, and bordered with cream, garter stitch. They also have dark gray knitted boots slippers on their feet. There is a messy cart with a lot of random things on it in the background, and a Roomba on the hardwood floor behind it.
