This belt is long (something like 5 feet after it's been stretched from not having this done earlier) so it's taking quite a while.

A small section of a leather strap which is in the process of being reinforced with a thick thread. The strap sits on a 2x4 with a bunch of holes in it from the awl poking holes through the leather on it. The board sits on a black table with stone-like texture.

The banality of #ecocide

#climatechange
Four frame comic. Frame 1: two lightning bugs are pictured with speech bubbles over a mown lawn with some leaves on it. One bug says "hello, anyone out here to mate with?" The other says "yes, finally! I'm over here!" Frame two: an adult and child human are pictured. The child points to the lightning bugs and says "look! Fireflies!" Frame three: the adult is saying "wow! I used to see so many, but now they seem rare". The fireflies are saying "any dead leaves to lay eggs on?" and "tons!" Final frame: the humans are raking the leaves into black bags.

#war
Man is the only animal that deals in that atrocity of atrocities, War. He is the only one that gathers his brethren about him and goes forth in cold blood...to exterminate his kind. He is the only animal that for sordid wages will march out...and help to slaughter strangers of his own species who have done him no harm and with whom he has no quarrel...And in the intervals between campaigns he washes the blood off his hands and works for "the universal brotherhood of man"--with his mouth.

a glass bottle of Stewart's Birch Beer. Stewart's is a local brand, sort of like Sheetz and Wawa, that sells their own brand beverages for pretty cheap and a lot of their gas stations are also creameries. A bowl on a wooden cutting board on a wooden countertop. The bowl has Neopolitan Ice Cream, a piece of lemon cake, and chopped up red banana. Chocolate syrup is drizzled over it, and the red banana peel is laying empty on the cutting board to the side of the bowl.

see, this is something that's been on my mind lately... to call this modern american authoritarian movement "fascist" is inaccurate. It shares a few aesthetic similarities, shares some ideology, but calling it that gets the order of inheritance wrong. The fascists […]

Elon Musk quote-Tweeting Nayib Bukele @nayibbukele (the president of El Salvador). Musk is saying "This is the way" in response to Bukele saying: "40% of our prison population is already repaying its debt to society. In return, they receive a shorter sentence and learn a skill. This program is NOT available for rapists and murderers. They will help us build roads, hospitals, and schools; they will manufacture our..." The tweet is cut off there, and below the text is a photo of a warehouse filled with people sitting at long tables with sewing machines. Hundreds, maybe a thousand enslaved prisoners are shown in the photo, stretching far off into the distance until they become dots in the background.

also, I'm so happy to say, we managed to get symmetric half-gig at our new place, I'm so excited for that.

My #sewing supplies all packed up together. The big cardboard box is just fully stuffed with fabric
A sewing machine, ironing board, transparent box, and a cardboard box. The transparent box is approximately 18"×12"×12" and the cardboard box is slightly larger than that. Fabric pieces are visible through the clear plastic.

Realized the UHaul logo was an SVG and decided to have a bit of fun in the dev tools for a minute

The UHaul logo but the "AUL" has been dropped and the H cloned so it says "UHHH" instead.

Dyed some fabric today. It came out a lot lighter than I intended, but it is what it is. It's still nice. The fabric is cotton flannel and jersey. I'll make the jersey into underpants primarily, and the flannel is for the lining of a jacket, though there's enough […]

#racism
Four panel comic. 1. Two white people walk up to a tree with a swastika carved into it. One points and says "ew, a Nazi tree" 2. "Let's go find a better tree to relax under" 3. They encounter a tree with the words "hidden everyday racism which can be easily ignored" 4. They're sitting under the tree from the third panel. "Ah, much better" one says.
