The commercial licenses expire in 60 days, but labor groups contend that the courts have temporarily frozen the federal rules restricting which foreigners can drive trucks.

Block # 9 done ✅
The joy of finishing a block 🙌🙌😄
Pattern by Tamsin Harvey-Iznik Garden. It is a Turkish Blue Mosque inspired pattern!
I chose raw edge appliqué.
Not chasing perfection just chasing the sheer joy of making it!

Today’s quilted heart was made for National American Teddy Bear Day. They are as American as baseball, jazz & apple pie. Named after a president & by many accounts, were first created in a shop in NYC.

This is "Derek's Quilt."
Carole Valenzuela made this quilt for her 14 yo grandson. He selected the pattern, called Interwoven, and fabrics. Young Derek has a very keen eye! I can help wondering if Derek will become a designer.

The new (Canadian) Anglican liturgies for the blessing of a gender transition/name change explicitly link it to the taking on of new names in the Bible, as part of the sanctifying of new covenants, in a way that's really beautiful and moving.

"He says plug-in solar systems do not produce as much energy as a full rooftop solar array.

But they cost much less, can be installed on balconies or in yards with little or no expertise, and can be easily taken down and reinstalled...So they’re ideal for renters or low-income households."

Important stuff here from Emily on gender, oppression, and white supremacist patriarchy (i.e. American politics).
🧵
I once wrote a Twitter thread about misogyny as a supremacist ideology. I'm finally reposting here because of the RW/MAGA attacks on the military.

We *must* begin to recognize that in a white supremacist patriarchy, your value begins & ends with your support for the white supremacist patriarchy.

Never forget the same people defending pedophilia have spent years trying to convince the public that drag queens and trans people are a threat to children.

It’s all smoke and mirrors to allow the real predators to roam free.

It's Trans Awareness Week! So increase your weekly awareness of us by reading our stories.

(Our books also make great holiday gifts for your conservative relatives you'd like to never speak to you again!)
On that note:

Trans authors (I mean authors who are trans, NOT cis people who write about trans people), drop your book links here and I'll try to repost as many as I can throughout the day.

Cis people: Repost trans authors' book links.

Cis people who want to complain about being excluded: gtfo
Being a trans author is fucking weird right now. Hell is actively unfolding all around us but I still need to be like, "hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book? It won't make anything better, but it's kinda fun?"

So....hey, everyone, wanna buy my silly little queer book?
