😮 so small!

Cross stitch of a red tent and a partially finished tree

I’m working on @needlelotdesigns.bsky.social’s “Out of Office”. Tree outline is finally full height!

😮

Four dragons (green, purple, red, and gold) cross-stitched under the word dragons

Just finished up the last dragon I’m doing and thinking about what border work it wants, if any!

Stitched sky I think. Lovely design!

Fun! I love that mug.

Finished a lovely cross stitch designed by @needlelotdesigns.bsky.social. Finding some peace in this whirlwind one thread at a time.

Nice work and lovely color!

Art quilt of an angry penguin with Hands Odd in orange above him. The dark blue background says “protect women’s rights, the arts, due process, free speech, lgbtqia+ rights, museums, libraries, research, science, national parks, our vote” and in the bottom of the penguin, “the penguins.”

The penguin is quilted and ready to protest! It’s a bit crooked, but I have had vertigo off and on all week, so I’m okay with crooked.

Tricks to keep it from slipping? I felt like I was constantly readjusting last time I tried one of these.

Purple flowers in the foreground with many people’s legs in the background.

Out making my voice heard and admiring the signs of spring today

Pete is right, as usual.

These people cannot keep America safe.

I’m embarrassed to be an American now more than ever.

IF AN ARMY PRIVATE ACCIDENTALLY TEXTED THE DETAILS OF A CLASSIFIED MILITARY OPERATION TO A REPORTER, LET ALONE TRANSMITTED ANY CLASSIFIED INFORMATION TO ANYONE WHO WAS UNAUTHORIZED OVER AN UNSECURED DEVICE, THEY'D BE IMMEDIATELY CHARGED AND LIKELY SPEND TIME IN LEAVENWORTH. BUT IT'S PETE HEGSETH, JUST THE SECRETARY OF DEFENSE, SO HE PROBABLY WON'T BE CHARGED. @cmclymer

h/t and praise to @charlotteclymer.bsky.social for this truth bomb. 🔥👏🏼🔥

AOC: I want to live in an America that guarantees healthcare to every person.

I want to live in an America that has a living wage for every person

I want to live in an America where you have free speech to express yourself and not be afraid of being put on a list or deported.

What is a Hug from Whiffahugs? Hugs are handmade pocket size plushies that you scent with essential oils to then carry with you during times of high stress or anxiety. They are small to keep your coping discrete.

Oh, also - 98% of our clients, are adults. Ain’t no shame in that game my friends.

Bullying, making stuff up, trolling, retribution, chaos, and cruelty is the the entirety of the MAGA platform.

I love this. 💗

Thank you for putting so much encouragement out into the world.

I find that being caught up is weird feeling. Like I don’t know what to do with myself now 😅

The President has politicized the Department of Justice and threatens to unleash the power of the federal government on his political enemies. For example, he has promised to punish law firms that provide legal support for his opponents, Now, many are no longer willing to do so. Critics who once held security clearances or security details have them removed. Organizations fearful of threats from the President preemptively erase ideas, or silence dissenting voices. The President has suggested that critics are supporters of terrorism, using vague language that allows him to threaten nonprofits, or promise to deport protest leaders. Words and ideas are banned. Censors rifle their way through government documents and websites to remove them. Federal spaces, like schools on military bases, are purged of books that even mildly hint at the idea that diversity is a good thing. Executive orders that purge these ideas tend to be ambiguous, leading organizations to respond broadly and to self-censor. Funding of research ideas is being taken away from research experts and handed to political appointees who are defunding the ideas they dislike. Campus officials are trying to decide how to respond to government orders to remove ideas.

I wanted to put, in one place, a documented list of all of the ways that speech is being threatened.
The list is admittedly incomplete. It is also overwhelming.

I love flamecraft!

The FAA approved another launch before the last crash investigation was completed — and it ended in another disaster.

Why is SpaceX getting a free pass from DOGE cuts? 🤔
