Time for the reminder about gifts: when you give someone a gift, that is the end of your trajectory with it. Quest over, possession transferred. They can love it and use it every day, regift it, or throw it into the ocean— and it’s none of your business anymore! A gift with conditions is not a gift.

There are no clothing machines.
All garments are handmade.
ALL of them.
There is no T-shirt machine. Every $5 shirt I’ve ever purchased was sewn together by a human being who is an expert sewist.
Just thought I’d mention that before tomorrow.

If you're planning on shopping during black Friday or cyber Monday, why not consider supporting artists, writers, creators? Buy a book, purchase an indie video game, commission an art piece, gift someone a Patreon. Your support means everything.

I'm old.
If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Whether you land on the decorating-after-Halloween or the decorating-just-before end of the winter holidays spectrum, the Mistletoe pattern by Taylor Rutledge of Needle Fox Arts @needlefoxarts.bsky.social works for you! It knits up quickly, it can be reused, and it's not poisonous to pets!
