I wish I had held onto this embroidery & beadwork piece instead of selling it after last year's Woodlawn Needlework Show. Sigh. I could always make another but still ... #FiberArt #embroidery #beadwork
Varying shades of pink alpaca French knots in a circle surrounding a center of Japanese seed beads in similar colors. Some people see a fingerprint and others see something stained for viewing in a microscope.

JK Rowling is a terrible person who deserves the same respect she gives to trans women (who are most assuredly women) and the LGBTQ+ community as a whole.

I'm baking my second Angel Food Cake in less than 24 hours because my family gobbled up the first one in less than 12 hours.

The thin waxing crescent moon floating below brilliant Venus and above the much dimmer Mercury on a steely blue sky fading to a light peach color near the horizon. An evergreen treetop and clouds are at the bottom of the picture.

I spent the morning at Thomas Balch Library learning about "Caring for Textile Heirlooms at Home" presented by two local conservators. The first part was a lecture & then they gave advice on some beautiful textiles the audience brought in. #textileCare #fiberArtist

I'm up again at 3:30 when I should still be sleeping. I should've/could've taken sleep meds but then instead of needing a nap bc I was up at 3:30, I'd need a nap bc I'd feel groggy. Perimenopause: it sucks. Men have no fucking idea.

I just need a snout for this bear eyeglass holder! It's a free pattern on Ravelry that I almost reverse engineered before thinking, "Maybe it's on Ravelry." Warning: the site design has given some folks problems & the owners & designer blew off the concerns & complaints. I try not to use the site.
My blue-framed glasses in an oblong brown crocheted glasses holder. The bear has ears and beady little eyes but she's missing her snout and nose. It's sitting on top of a printed copy of the pattern which is sitting on a teal blanket with a ball of white yarn.

Oh, you voted Republican because you wanted to save babies? USAID saves babies, you absolute fuckwit. Our health care agencies save babies. Birth control and comprehensive sex ed and social programs that serve mothers and children save babies. You made the baby-killingest vote you possibly could.

She's pretty upset by these Felon-in-chief shenanigans also. My constant companion and lead barker, though she does enjoy nibbling humans also. #dogs
A Belgian Malinois (they look like German Shepherds with long necks and leaner bodies). Her face an neck are mostly black except her chin/muzzle , which at almost 3 is already turning white.

I almost argued with someone on here about their blame-dealing election takes. Almost. I have opinions about the election too. Strong ones. And you know what? It doesn’t fucking matter. Look around. Pointless division is a death trap. *That discourse* is a death trap. It’s collective survival time.

I wrote this as a holiday guide for how to talk to your family about abortion, but the content is truly evergreen.

You'll find talking points to help plant seeds, give support, or just shut down your obnoxious anti-abortion uncle’s weird ramblings!

Another free pattern for you.

If I know anything it’s that fascists hate fun. And they definitely hate being told how unfun they are.

So I’m going to leave this here for you.

When will bluesky allow me to suppress reposts for people I follow? I'm not going to spend hours scrolling through them to get to my friends' actual posts.

When will bluesky allow me to filter out based on keywords? I don't always want to see certain posts, like AI "art" and crap from MidJourney.

Snowy day turned into snowy night. I love our Japanese maples!
It's night time and a pic of a domed fairly small Japanese maple with snow on every single branch. It's in front of a brick building with two windows (the garage) And in front of it are some bushes and a landscape light that's not lit. Deer tracks are evident in the snow on the ground.
