10/10 would recommend embroidery for mental/emotional health right now. Supplies are relatively inexpensive and it’s a forgiving medium. Happy to answer questions if yr not able to take a class.

I mentioned embroidery as meditative for me and many of you were interested and feel the same. I wanted to share that Artishouse has a beginners class here in NYC that starts this week for those who want to learn with others: bucketlisters.com/experience/a...
“I started this story thinking it was about the state of feminized forms of activism in 2026. I’m ending it thinking that a lot of the questions opened up by the Women’s March haven’t been answered yet.”

#showmeyourknits colorwork week
4 years ago, I created this free colorwork chart. It was an act of #craftivism to stand with Ukraine. Now, four years later, the world is at a point I could never have imagined.

⚖️ Julie K. Brown: Scott Bessent is blocking Sen. Wyden’s effort to look at Epstein’s taxes and financial records. They claim to be transparent. Why aren’t they letting investigators with the House Oversight Committee look at the money piece of Epstein’s crime? #Epstein @marcofoster.bsky.social

“Her*story” is a wordplay on the English word “history.” The pronoun “his” (his/his) happens to be part of the word. If you replace that “his” with “hers,” you point out that historiography has traditionally told almost only the male perspective. So “herstory” is essentially a neologism meaning “women’s history.” In reality, historiography is not only very male‑dominated but also class‑biased (focused on a particular social class) and overwhelmingly white. Almost all people who were neither privileged nor male have been deliberately “forgotten“. Between HER and STORY you also find the gender asterisk (*), which signals that discrimination occurs in many overlapping ways (see, for example, intersectional feminism for further research).

I am preparing two new designs - #craftivism #iwd message hats and the knitting instructions will be released on Friday 6th!
“HER*STORY” or “For most of history, Anonymous was a woman,” a modified quote from Virginia Woolf – the reversible hat features both.

A blond woman wearing a green headband, white sunglasses, and a grey hoodie sitting in a chair next to a banner that says "knot today fascism."
There were two small yet mighty groups out on an extra windy Wyoming spring day.

Ya gotta love the folks behind this series of gilt Trump statues that mock him mercilously and brilliantly.
#Statue of #DOEnald174 & #Epstein on #NationalMall posed as Jack & Rose from Titanic! bronze plaque reads: This monument honors the bond between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, a friendship seemingly built on luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches.
