Tomorrow during an open studio I’m doing free minor repairs (10 minute or less) so if you’re missing a rivet, need a hole punched, or a strap shortened stop by.
I’ll be here Noon-4:00, come check out the studio, chat with me about projects, or general leather questions.

There is a lot about the right's attack on trans issues to be concerned about, but at a high level I think it's really important to double down on how entirely fabricated it is.
That's the case with women's sports, it's the case with kids getting lower surgery ... it's all hypothetical, not reality

I don't mean to amplify the garbage .... but also I really need to stress here once again that KIDS DON'T GET LOWER SURGERY. That doesn't happen!!!

From @policyalternatives.ca, Canada Post is actually quite cost effective. It remains a mystery why @mark-carney.bsky.social is so keen on dismantling state capacity. Why should Canada reduce democratic control of the economy and yield more and more to American firms like Amazon?

Absolutely. E.g. it’s seen as ‘unprofessional’ to upset the hierarchy by questioning how things are done, as opposed to it being professional to enable the organisation do things better
