Going live in an hour to continue stitching the Emerald City! Bring a project to co-craft or just join for a cozy break from the madness. twitch.tv/jackisnotabird
A photo of a cross-stitch hoop with a half-completed project showing the Emerald City. The hoop is sitting on top of a pop-up Wizard of Oz book, open to an Emerald City spread.

A photo of a headless horseman cross-stitch project in-progress. It has orange and black bobbins of floss and a pair of stork scissors on top of it. It’s lying amongst fallen brown and yellow leaves on the grass.

Fervently reminding myself there can still be joy and calm in the world by taking breaks from the news to do silly little crafts in community with others.

Join me tonight at 6 PM EDT at twitch.tv/jackisnotabird 🎃 Bring your own project to co-craft or just join for the chill vibes.
A photo of an old orange paperback copy of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, placed on top of an embroidery hoop featuring a work in progress in black stitching. Also on the hoop is a pair of stork embroidery scissors and a bobbin of black thread. In the corner of the photo is a sugar pie pumpkin.

My survival instinct to steer clear of people I’ve overheard making transphobic comments seems to have been defeated by my moderate face blindness.
Simpsons meme of a kid of a bus with a caption that says “(chuckles) I’m in danger.”

An illustrated wooden sign on a yellow background. The sign read "Stitch & Chill." Text beneath the sign says, "Every Monday in September. Twitch.tv/jackisnotabird"

One of the best things @ryanhatesthis.bsky.social does is expertly debunk misrepresentations that annoy the hell out of me, but which I lack the expertise to properly explain.
screenshot of the Garbage Day newsletter, which reads: This is NOT “stomp clap hey ho indie,” as I’ve seen users on X claim. This is obviously closer to recession-era folk or folk punk, which came years before. It was smellier and annoying in a totally different way. “Stomp clap hey ho indie,” which arrived around 2011-2012, was made by Mormons, midwesteners that were functionally Mormon, or British nepo babies and it was explicitly written to cash in on the need for Silicon Valley Keynote background music or plantation weddings where all the drinks are served in mason jars. Bands like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros were involved with dangerously insane cults, hung out with people who ate trash and tattooed their dogs, and made songs that sounded like they were written by preschool teachers suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning. Thank you!!

What a wonderful graph to see on the week of my 35th birthday.

Source: ourworldindata.org/data-insight...
A graph from Our World In Data with a title saying "How old are you compared to the rest of the world?" And a subtitle that says "The global media age splits the world's population into two equal groups, with as many people older than it as younger." The graph's y axis show 0, 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 years old. The graph's x axis shows 1950, 1980, 2010, 2040, 2070, 2100. With a Note saying "Future projections are based on the UN medium scenario." A line on the graph, and text along with it, explains that in 1970 the median age was 20. Today, if you're over 30, you're older than most of the world. And that someone born today won't be older than most until nearly age 40.

Seventeenth century diarists, they’re just like us. Love finding these awkward moments in the past.
Screenshot of Samuel Pepys’ diary reading, “In coming home I met with a face I knew and challenged him, thinking it had been one of the Theatre musicians, and did enquire for a song of him, but finding it a mistake, and that it was a gentleman that comes sometimes to the office, I was much ashamed, but made a pretty good excuse that I took him for a gentleman of Gray’s Inn who sings well, and so parted. Home for all night and set things in order and so to bed.”

Doing a little cross-stitch and chill over on twitch.tv./jackisnotabird Come join for co-crafting, co-working, chatting, or just to chill.

I'll be working on this Emerald City pattern I can't get enough of.
A bird's eye view of a work in progress cross-stitch pattern on beige evenweave fabric. There are lots of greens and blues starting to make out the hints of an Emerald City palace. A finished cross-stitch project in a hoop. It features the Emerald City and yellow brick road, with blue grass and red flowers as well as a rainbow and hot air balloon at the top.

The last TikTok I was able to load. Fittingly sentimental.
