First part of the first block done, maybe I'll manage to catch up soon... 🤞🏻 (The Steady Thread 2026 Blackwood SAL)

I keep my sanity by cross stitching, so here's some recent work. Blackwork 2026 SAL by The Steady Thread and Solstice 2025 SAL by Snarky & Modern Embroidery along withBeCoProductions.

I find it depressingly ironic that so many do not even know *their own* faith tradition, let alone anyone else’s. A king is as a king does.

What, exactly, are we celebrating tomorrow?

Our cutting off healthcare to the needy to enrich the greedy?

Our new concentration camps?

Our dying economy?

Our ditching due process?

Our corruption?

Our broken legislature?

Our corrupt SCOTUS?

Our ridiculous buffoon president? #FourthOfJuly

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

If someone doesn’t ask Karoline Leavitt why she posted on social media that this bill includes no taxes on Social Security when she knows it is a lie and she intentionally lied to the American people, everyone in the room should lose their jobs.

We lasted 250 years, nearly to the day, as a free country. Tomorrow I’ll pour one in memory of our once beloved America.

a digital painting of Pearline, a young black woman, singing while standing on the stage on all fours. behind her there are musicians.

portrait of Mary, a light skinned young woman with dark curly hair and white glowing eyes. she's smiling, showing her sharp teeth. she's covered in blood

A poster for the economic blackout on February 28. It is a big red Jack rabbit on an aqua blue back ground. It says economic blackout in hand done black type. There are two black speech bubbles. One says “don’t buy stuff Friday February 28th. The other says we have power. Below it says No Amazon, Walmart, target, gas food, gas. Below that it says OK small business, use cash. Designed by Martha Rich.

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!

Nae king! Nae quin!
Nae laird! Nae master!

Figured I might post my stitching here and have something on my profile other than reposts. Only about 120 stitches tonight while playing D&D but it's the most I've been able to manage since my Dad passed earlier this month. 😔 #crosstitch #climbinggoatdesigns #dragonsafieldguide

That guilt you feel about not being able to support every GoFundMe for folks who are suffering?

That’s actually rage at a corrupt system refusing to support its people - a rage carefully steered away from the system so you struggle with yourself & not with the institutions that deserve it

Post by “Republicans against Trump,” stating, “Since the election, Trump has been discussing: Annexing Canada, Seizing the Panama Canal, Buying or taking Greenland, Invading Mexico, Abandoning Ukraine, Starting trade wars with out allies. Putin is getting what he paid for.”

We’re so sorry, rest of the world.

Trying to finish Dragons: A Field Guide before xmas. 🤣

It literally impossible for me to roll my eyes any harder without looking down my own throat.

For those of you asking for a higher resolution version, here you go. Should be 4k/300dpi, which is suitable for printing at about 13in x 8in/33cm x 20cm. (Note: I'm working with images not originally created in high resolution; some color bands may be blurry.)
