Sorry, but if you’re using generative AI to slap a soulless filter over your selfies you’ve lost all right to call yourself a Ghibli fan

Just a quick reminder to check the (compulsory in Australia) density levels on the “free range” eggs that you’re buying. There’s a world of difference between 10,000 chooks per hectare and 1,500 but both can be labelled free range

That’s not even touching on the “Elon’s son” nonsense

A screen shot of a tweet (or an x, or a whatever the fuck) that’s referencing an article about Musk’s nazi salute. The text reads “Don't people realize that we hate Hitler not for doing a quirky salute, but for killing millions of people? Has Elon killed even a single person? No. And just because his son says something, that doesn't necessarily make it true.”

A QUIRKY SALUTE

I don’t know if it’s a generational thing, but E’s version of “eeny meeny” goes

Eeny meeny miny mo
Catch a tiger on your toe
If he says no
No means no

And look, it might not scan as nicely, but I love the message about consent

I feel bad saying because it’s not yet published and the author’s bound to be searching all platforms for reviews, but I’ll DM it to you :)

Goddamn, I should have DNF’d

Hate-reading the rest of this book in the hopes that the MC gets her bloody comeuppance

Haha, before we had E my husband used to pride himself in his ability to give his nieces and nephews the loudest, most obnoxious gifts possible. My sisters-in-law are delighting in returning the favour now that we’re the one with a small child

Big oooft. That reminds me of when I was trying to buy a hat in Amsterdam and the person in the shop said my head was too big to fit anything but a stretchy beanie. Straight to the Body Shame Memory Vault to be remembered forever

There’s a special place in heaven for people who give your child a gift that has batteries and INCLUDE THE BATTERIES

I mean, obviously I understand ‘uses more raw material’, but hear me out: you’ll sell a fucktonne more ‘one size’ if it’s fitting sizes 10-20 rather than 6-16

Why does “one size” always denote “fits small to mid-size” and never “mid-size to large”?

Pouring one out for all thousands of white journalists who are trying to figure out how to continue to frame each of these as a strange, mysterious and inexplicable body spasms shorn of any context or meaning

“It’s anti-feminist to tell me I’m a bitch when I attack trans rights”

(Un)kind: How 'Be Kind' Entrenches Sexism (Un)kind: How 'Be Kind' Entrenches Sexism eBook : Smith, Victoria: Amazon.com.au: Kindle Store

Yeppppp www.amazon.com.au/kind-How-Kin...

OFC the person publishing a whole-ass book about how ‘kindness is anti-feminist’ is a trans-exclusionary radfem

Fuck yeah ruffles

(P.S. this is not a Robert Woods pattern. I am still too chicken to tackle one of those)

Layers of creamy fabric piled one on top of another

I’m mashing together two of my favourite recent patterns, and it’s about a zillion pieces (pictured is somehow still not all of them, I still have to cut out an additional 25 lining pieces) but if I pull it off it’s gonna be SO WORTH IT

Oh my god

The Doops fabric is so cool

He specifically requested it (but it’s still no guarantee 😬)

If E wears this it’ll be my proudest day as a sewist ever

What a fabulous fabric choice

The speed with which these corporations are abandoning their DEI principles shows just how performative their inclusivity really was

Honestly I always consider it kind of a win when I get an exodus after posting something political - it’s like my community is a garden, and I’m getting rid of the weeds

Literally applies to almost every major media corp at this point, I reckon

Palestine has a literacy rate of 97.8%. America - in case you’re interested - has a literacy rate of 79%.

The audacity of Fox News calling Palestinians “uneducated” when they have one of the highest literacy rates in the world and are routinely described as the world’s “best-educated refugees”. This despite Israel bombing over 85% of schools in the strip.
