A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Last second #chrochet ghostie for a very late Christmas gift. It's a gift card for our upcoming trip to Halloween Horror Nights, so a thematicly appropriate holder was needed!
White 2D crochet ghost on a red tablecloth. The head is round with two black dots for eyes, and the bottom is scalloped.

The redactions probably say more than the text under them about the president and the current administration.

I wish I took a picture of the Ghoul bust my sister made out of prosciutto for tonight's #Fallout season 2 premiere. Guys she did such a good job but like. It kinda made it hard to eat. The dip she made with it was incredible, though... Shit sucks but sometimes you've gotta supply your own whimsy.

Some pleasant things from my weekend: the family had a Hallmark-movie worthy Saturday with a Christmas Cookie Crawl, holiday market, and a visit to a local memorial tree on the beach. Then a nice calm Sunday snowed in.
A small Christmas tree on the beach, covered and surrounded by decorated seashells. The seashells span the foreground and well past the tree; they are painted in memoriam to people's loved ones. In the distance past the sand is the winter sky and the ocean. A wintery scene of a house and trees covered in snow. Trees in the foreground weigh heavy with it, framing a house and fence. The sky beyond all this is white as well.

For a change in pace, here's my sister's birthday gift! The pendant is filled with sand from her favourite #beach. It was a real challenge to get that to work; if I put #resin on the sand it became translucent. So I figured out how to make a lil pocket to fill! Of course, it glows, too.
A necklace on a golden yellow tablecloth. The tablecloth has a large brocade pattern in shiny thread. The necklace is made out of grey metal. Small glass beads in yellow, green, and blue space out where the pendant hangs. On one side there is a small glass-blue charm of New Jersey. It asymmetrically connects the rest of the chain. The pendant is a teardrop shaped resin charm that is clear and tealish blue with sparkles. Inside is sand.

Next #crochet project: Christmas ornaments! These take a bit to assemble but are fun and work up quickly. Making for my coworkers who have all started to learn how to crochet as well.
Video tutorial here:

Three crochet ornaments seated in a row on a cream colored tablecloth. The two outer ones are made of various greens and blues, and the middle is alternating green and red. They are wedges made into a ball with white piping accents. The tails of the segments are braided into three tails off the bottom. In the background behind them is a blue metal crochet hook with a black handle.

Happy Partially Muscled Skeleton Day to all who celebrate. Be sure to let all your screams out and then disappear.

My first commissioned #crochet project is officially done! Go Birds!
#Eagles #Crafts
Picture of a crocheted hat on a bed quilt. The hat is green with white accents. It has the words "Hot People Love the Eagles" in white script and has a white ribbed band. There's a pompom made of the same yarn on the top, too. The quilt it sits on is grey.

First year we actually got stickers! Coworkers are mad jelly...
Photo of a a hand holding a "I Voted" sticker, a white oval with blue font. A stylized American flag is to the left of the text. In the background is a blurry shot of their foot and the floor of the polling place.

"Tzefardea Tzedek" (Frog of Righteousness)

As soon as the Portland Frog became a meme, Jewish social media blew up with jokes about the 2nd Passover plague - tzefarde'a (frogs) - and the Rabbinical commentary around it. I knew I had to make a calligraphy piece encompassing all of it. (more in alt.)
Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.

While we spectate on The East Wing being torn down, it isn’t just another hallway, it’s where Eleanor Roosevelt built the modern Office of the First Lady, where WWII bunkers were hidden, and where the public enters the People’s House. Erasing it is rewriting history.
