If you haven't tried baby camel/silk I highly recommend! Creates the softest, warmest yarn, with that warm glow of the camel
🚨 Update from the totally‑real Clitorati HQ 🚨
Apparently we’re still getting judged for everything — kids, no kids, working, not working, existing. And the “official report” (delivered by a man, of course) says we should fall in line. Our response? A very clear: F-off.
There's a new ICE reporting system that is not an app, so it can't be pulled by the app stores. Collects no data from the user. Seems worth exploring. #ICE #ICEout #OurStreets #FuckICE

Front of a floor loom, between the breast beam and the beater. woven web shown with a striped design, first the black Merino/firestar from the warp, followed by the self-striping yak/silk in colors teal, brown, green, purple, blue, green brown. An almost empty bobbin sits in a shuttle next to the beater. The yarn ns mostly black, but with grey and grey/black plied areas. It all has a subtle sheen
Got through enough of the other things I had stuff, and screwing up my courage, I started weaving the shawl. I am so paranoid about having enough yarn so I am throwing in all the handspun in the colorway family, and will separate different spins with warp yarn. #Handweaving #handspun #multishaft
Glitter in various colors going across the page like a rainbow. Writing says Everywhere you go,leave a glitter trail of kindness behind you. Someone who needs it may just pick it up.

Jaysus, could Dani make her alt right-ness any clearer?
“Nashville, someone in our community needs our voices right now.”
More and more are speaking up for Nashville Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez, grabbed by ICE (in a marked news car) after her coverage of them.

This is honestly one of the most anti-Jewish things I’ve ever seen from the United States government.
I see you got all the names, but I'm wondering if there may be some relation - my mom's maiden name is Rappaport and she grew up in NYC (Coney Island at first I believe). You have DMs turned off, so I reached out here.
What a thoughtful and wonderful thing to do. There still is compassion in the world for the stranger
Had a hell of time getting any kind of picture - this one at least shows a bit of the glitter the firestar brings to the yarn, and a sense of the transitions between shades.
This is the largest item I’ve done with a handspun warp (it’s a shawl, 24” wide on the loom), and that will be interesting, as weight and twist are not completely consistent. The grey in particular is much softer and thicker. 2/3
From the side, an 8 shaft Schact Baby Wolf showing warp between the heddles and cloth beam. Yarn is black in the foreground and background, grey and mixed grey/black as it progresses across the warp. Little glints of rainbow color are visible in the black from the firestar. Yarn is merino/firestar from Camaj Fiber Arts color names "fancy crow" and "sterling"
Loom is dressed! Just need to tie up the treadles and I can start…figuring out exactly what I’m going to do with the two (or possibly three) weft yarns. 1/3 #weaving #handweaving #handspun #merino #silk #yak
View of back of Schact Baby Wolf loom, looking directly down at the warp which is loaded with black, black/grey, and grey yarn. the harnesses and heddles are visible at the top of the image, the warp beam is visible at the bottom of the image.
Warp beam loaded. Some day I'll calculate my spools right - had to spin more black/grey plied, wind more spools for the black. Now I have to figure out how to space the extra heddles. Only 8 epi and using 24 of 26" that's a lot of heddles to disperse. #weaving #handwoven #handspun
A cat sits on the arm of a wrinkled tan long-sleeved top, staring at the camera. Her body perfectly covers the arm and does not extend beyond. In the foreground is the rest of the shirt lying on a purple - dominant colored patterned blanket with a tag reading "8th Gen Eighth Generation Blanket designed by Lynda Teller Pete (Dine). In the background is the rest of the bed and a teddy bear.
A profile shot of the same cat sitting on the arm of a wrinkled tan long-sleeved top, further illustrating her perfect alignment with and coverage of one arm. The very wrinkled shirt and care are on a bed, light green covers in the foreground and a purple - dominant colored patterned blanket filling most of the frame, a teddy bear in in the background along with messy nightstand, bookcase, and two windows.
Same image from head-on to the cat. You can see she is a tortoise-shell with a tan racing stripe down her nose, a half tan muzzle, and piercing green eyes. Here you can see that beyond the cuff seen in the other pictures, all of the shirt arm is covered. More of the purple - dominant colored, mauve, white, and black secondary colored patterned blanket dominates most of the frame, in the background a night stand and window are visible.

Finally got some snow - supposed to be several inches but so far only a dusting down here on the valley floor. If it picks up like predicted around 7:00, the will probably call for a delay about the time I get to work.
At least it looks like the mountains are getting a good hit.
As an RN this makes me sad mad and proud. Many of us LIVE our code of ethics, 24/7 Alex was one of those. May his memory be a blessing
Tacky alert: I am so jealous - I became a nurse too late for caps and capes, and my mom lost hers - I want a nursing cape! (Not to return to daily cap use)
Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous
For the heck of it, I did the math: 2,284 yards plied or 5,273 singles.
Six skeins of yarn arranged in a pinwheel. At approx 3:00 is one of two skeins of Camaj Fiber Arts "Ohh Shiney" Merino/firestar in "Fancy Crow" two ply; at 5:00 is Greenwood Fiberworks "Calypso" colorway in Yak/silk chain (3) ply; at 6:00 "Ohh Shiney" in "Sterling" two ply; at 8:00 another hank of the Fancy Crow; at 11:00 Greenwood Fiberworks "Calypso" in Merino, silk and cashmere chain ply; and at 1:00 the Fancy Crow and Sterling plied together.
Same yarn laid out in a linear fashion, L to R: Greenwood Fiberworks colorway "Calypso" in Merino, silk and cashmere chain (3) ply; Greenwood Fiberworks "Calypso" in Yak/silk chain ply; two skeins of Camaj Fiber Arts "Ohh Shiney" Merino/firestar in "Fancy Crow" The Fancy Crow plied with another Ohh Shiney Stirling two ply; And "Ohh Shiney" in Sterling 2 ply
I still need to set the twist on the Sterling and the Sterling/Fancy Crow ply, but all the yarn for a shawl has been spun. Going to use the black and grey for warp, the colored yarn for weft. Not sure of set or weave yet. Yarn description in alt text. #Fiberarts #handspinning #weaving #handwoven
I work in the medical clinic of the Washoe (Wašiw) Tribe of Nevada and California. Their traditional lands included, along with other People, Lake Tahoe (dáɁaw) and surrounding forest. Here's one example of collaboration wildfiretaskforce.org/california-t...
A new US government report finds that federal agencies are unprepared to expand shared stewardship with tribes as climate pressures intensify.

Lovely piece by Garrett White. Before I moved to Mpls all I knew about HHH was from his seemingly feckless time as LBJ's VP and failed run for president. I had no idea all the good he had done.
Long before the occupation, we were told a lie about Minneapolis

Thank you. As a spinner and weaver, I love sheep, and I am as furious as you are. Your pictures are beautiful, cute and very good for my cortisol levels
Another question I came here with was: how effective are the whistles and honking? Does it stop abductions? And the answer is, surprisingly to my cynical self, yes, and often. I have talked to so many people who have successfully interrupted kidnappings.
Here is a horrible thought that just crossed my mind - they are shipping people from MN to El Paso Texas - to a tent camp - and they have a massive cold/snow front coming.
How many more detainees will die?
How many of them will be children?
How many will be legally in this country?
