I have been a teacher since 2005 and definitely go through waves of burnout with it. BUT I'm so angry about *all this* that I'm diving in again. My free teen class starts 4/15 and is full. My paid adult class is listed below, info link in comments. I'm working on a free monthly makers meetup too...
Friends, this podcast is excellent. I started with the most recent one then listened from the beginning. If you are in the sewing world you will recognize these people! I'm thrilled they included their teen because we need the voices of the young now.

Risk assessment failures of the privileged who don’t want to accept any risk using their social capital to eek out the cultural power to externalize their risk aversion to poorer people is kind of the whole ball of wax. Fix that maybe.

“biological sex” should refer only to having sex in a lab, knocking over microscopes and shit, contaminating every surface while scientists watch you and take notes

I feel like evidence suggests that this is not a party looking for popular support but looking to remain elected without that support and to permanently maintain undemocratic minority control so that they can get rich.

I sat down six months ago and made a list of my core people. The people who will answer when I call. The people who can smile when I’m happy. Then, I messaged them saying they are in my inner circle. I think knowing your team is about to be very important.

There is so much to pay attention to, I have to take breaks often with friends. Recently this has included 3 hour long Bollywood movies and I couldn't be happier. Drop what you are doing and watch the roller coaster pageant that is 🔥Om Shanti Om🔥 (it's on Netflix & the youtubes)

Two pieces for my upcoming teen class - we'll be exploring fabric painting & stamping, block printing & embroidery through the lenses of history and fashion. My powerpoint game is strong!

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!?

Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

Been up to my same bullshit I guess: making hundreds of posters to remind and be reminded…
Got any teachers unions out there who’d like a stack?

This ended up making over $105,000 with all the extra donations. I'm still in awe of my crafty pirate friends ♥️ #OFMDcraftfair
It's up to $52,518 now. Closing March 1st! And today at 2pm EST they are dropping a donation from S2 costumière extraordinaire Gypsy Taylor 😱😵
The OFMD Craft Fair has raised $46,000+ (so far!) for the Campaign for Southern Equality and I'm constantly amazed by both my fandom's feral qualities and our creativity. A HUGE thank you to showrunner @david-jenkins.bsky.social for donating some insane swag! #OFMD

Daily reminder 🙌
did you enjoy creating it? did you have fun? does it make you happy thinking about it and sharing it? then that's it. you did it. you found the secret sauce. "was that a waste of time?" of course not, fuckface. expressing yourself creatively is always worthwhile. you're doing great

Arming myself for the day. Bracelets as talismans. Find yourself spaces where beautiful people give you beautiful things from the joy in their hearts.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

fwiw I'm starting to research and write a class called 'Fashion as Resistance: Pockets and Sedition' and will be pitching it to the ArtsCenter and OCAC's Studio Be program for youths and young adults. Block printing, stencils, hand embroidery - and a bit of anarchist history.

• Feel free to JOIN ME in the economic blackout Friday.
• Feel free to IGNORE me and my one-person business.
• HEY NAYSAYERS: small steps are still steps. Solidarity feels good and leads to wanting MORE. This stupid autocracy is making me into a peppy optimist, it's embarrassing.
