The real transphobia is that all the sports banning has me aware of sports news as an art dweeb i should be spared this fate

I highly recommend sending friends' children crafting things. You get to wake up to wonderful parcels

Moving Sale Commissions! I am taking a limited number of additional commissions to be made this summer! I am particularly interested in making waistcoats, regency and 1830s stays, banyans and robes, fashion/fantasy boned bodices, and coats* I am also now introducing cravats and vintage ties!

reblurb with wisdom from recent images

without downloading new pics, where are you at mentally?

Want stays, corsets, waistcoats or historical accessories? Want to shop Canadian and support small makers? I can still fit a couple more clients in for the summer as I’ve had to cancel US orders! Very happy to accept Canadian clients! But I do also ship to the UK!

I treated myself to some prints from the amazing @tiffbaxter.bsky.social I feel like Medieval Revival/the Arts and Craft movement are going to be my vibe for this year

I got a fantastic addition to my queer flowers arm today

There was finally some decent lighting for me to get a photo of this. I made it for @cnlester.bsky.social 's Queer Renaissance Salon and it made me feel like a fairy prince. Eventually it will be covered in embroidery and have a lining based on Jacobian crewelwork

If you can't do something about It, just do something. Make bad art, anything physical will help

I've fallen down an excellent rabbit hole of vintage sweater patterns. These are some of my favourite

Getting more and more insistent on being recognised as both genderqueer and transsexual. I was pretty insistent to start with, but I'm committed to becoming much, much worse.

@margaret.bsky.social on the utility of naming ourselves as “anarchists” - and how it’s become such a loaded term - on the new episode of @sadfrancisco.bsky.social (now up on all the podcast platforms)

Hey y'all! The world is YIKES. Let's hang out and do crafts together! Livestream starts at 5PM today central time zone. youtu.be/MmKfMjzPqs0 #spinning #Fiberart #Livestream #Queer #Trans #Crafts

Some things trans people and allies can do right now: - Build our own services, share information. - Keep the pressure on politicians. Write, complain, write again. Ban them from Pride! - Keep building alliances with feminist, anti-racist, disabled groups etc. - Feed each other. Party. Have fun!

I had an amazing time at @cnlester.bsky.social's Queer Renaissance Salon. Music was made, poetry was read, duels were fought and I won a brick

the only people who benefit from this are child predators and i'd like dem officials to say so into a microphone

I will echo my previous sentiments: when they come for one of us, they come for all of us. Together we are strong. All my love, Sir Kadean #sidequest #transrights #humanrights #advocacy #dnd #medieval #medievalart #fightback #lgbtqia

I just can't help but feel that if some 21 year old groyper told me to delete Meals on Wheels I would simply get out of my chair and beat the living shit out of him!

i want the social contagion of transgenderism to be real. i want to be a super spreader

Very good advice to find after a day of doomscrolling

It's not too late to order some free Covid tests from USPS. If RFK Jr becomes HHS, there is a good chance this program will be cut. Get your free tests while you can. special.usps.com/testkits

I am feeling very called out by Duolingo

the fascists are looking to rigidly define gender not just to punish trans people like they claim but to lay the groundwork for the oppression of all women. when gender is legally mutable, it is harder to use it to restrict people’s rights. they want to build a cage around you, made from our bones

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

You want to help trans people? Give them money! CN is a wonderful person who I met not long after I came out and they helped me have the confidence to be myself

Already not using: Twitter Microsoft Apple I have a gift voucher for Amazon so I'm going to use that I'm figuring out how to get Ubuntu on my Chromebook and backing up my Google drive Meta is the hardest because there are so many people I can only contact with messenger or wattsapp

I've finally gotten around to finishing the oldest WIP in my Pile. This is a present for my friend Olivia

Urgent trans and nonbinary update: I called a passport office and got a sympathetic rep who told me officially any information about gender markers is posted online. Unofficially, they *literally whispered,* they have heard the same rumors about passports being confiscated.

Thank you to @dyedinthewoolyarns.bsky.social for this vivid yarn. It's impossible to capture how Green it is in a photo
