I can’t think of one thing I’d rather do every day than work with these amazing women.

Beautiful day with beautiful folks—adding hand embroidery to the 2025 Global Earth Exchange flags, sponsored by Radical Joy for Hard Times.

2:42am. 3:02am. 3:33am. Hello fellow insomniacs.

Judith (from Myanmar) mentored folks from the neighborhood on embroidery during our community craft day at Stitch Buffalo.

Community mending days fix more than just clothes.

Stitching a @badasscrossstitch.bsky.social design. Feeling joyful and menacing. ✔️

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak.

Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

Such a fun day of mending with Stitch Buffalo volunteers and members of the Refugee Women’s Workshop from Burma, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Congo. We had over 50 guests stop in for repairs!

Dear Buffalo sanitation workers—My cat really loves your big, blue trucks. 👋

Visible mending. Keeping these jeans alive for another year.

Volunteer party at Stitch Buffalo. We hired women from the Refugee Women’s Workshop as our caterers—so we had foods from Bhutan, Pakistan, Egypt, and Somalia. We also made crafts with upcycled supplies. So great to be in community with kind, open people.

Slow and steady. And stabby. That’s the mood.
