Pattern by Tamsin Harvey-Iznik Garden. It is a Turkish Blue Mosque inspired pattern!
I chose raw edge appliqué.

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.

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.

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?"
