Selena Gomez shares new Instagram story crying amid the deportation of Mexicans:
“I’m so sorry. All my people are getting attacked. The children, I don’t understand. I wish I could do something.”
This is what we all should remember.

Rainbow plumeria stickers and pineapple stickers
I want to make more silly stickers, even if the only thing I do with them is throw them at my co-workers in an attempt to make friends.

I’m telling everyone: Do not open the door or say a word unless you’re expecting someone and know exactly who it is.
Know your rights. Pass these around…

I do! I’m working my way through it; about 60% done so far!
a Sengoku period noblewoman with a gashadokuro, mixing Japanese lore with the Western art tradition of ‘vanitas’ and ‘memento mori.’ Young, beautiful, and dressed in opulent finery, she sits cradled in the arms of the large skeleton.
“All is vanity, and remember you must die.”
That’s such a good idea! I invested in the Beadsmith bobbins (particularly the weighted ones), but for longer braids particularly, these look great!
I’m so bad at using the disks. I learned initially on the marudai, and I can’t seem to get the hang of the disks, despite my best efforts. My tension gets all off and then things are a mess. I’d love the portability if I can figure it out though!
That’s actually what I started with! I’ve been mostly using paracord as of late, but I’m considering using some of my cotton weaving yarn for kumihimo, thus my question.
Very late #dctuesday 012125 This reminded me of a time years ago when I wore a Batman logo shirt at the library and a foreign exchange student thought it was a mouth! It got me thinking—do thugs and henchmen in Gotham City have dental plans?
A Japanese girl in a kimono paints a tiger, surrounded by tiger-esque creatures.
Tigers are auspicious in Japan, but they aren’t native. Inspired by Chinese scrolls and legends, traditional Japanese artists who’d never seen tigers used imagination to design “tigers”. Based on that, a young girl paints stripes onto a scowling beast surrounded by whimsically designed tigers(?).
Tonight's Comic Jam Hawaii Drink & Draw celebrated the legendary comic book artist John Romita Sr. I chose to recreate his classic scene of when Peter Parker meets Mary Jane Watson, adding my own unique spin to it

I’ve been playing more with thread than yarn, so I’ve been experimenting with perle cotton thread, but yarn would need fewer strands!
What brand of cotton yarn do you like to use?
A mermaid holding a princely lady knight amid seafoam.
"Till human voices wake us, and we drown." I dreamt of mermaids through the spring-- of princely, lady lovers and fairy tales of seafoam.
