Baby's first Waterman, the Allure fountain pen, budget price but very pretty. Writes nicely too. Ceramic body is a little slippery but I can live with that.

Soon there will be no nations left to flee to... None willing to offer asylum... How can I adequately display that "he" doesn't speak for me? So many cultural offenses. Can we blame them for despising us all?

God Bless the homeless Veterans! Thank You for your Service!

Sending my hopes and prayers to the people of Sichuan, China, after their dam failure. 🙏

My fountain pen smells like ink and disappointment. I should be using it far more often...

A 4-year-old boy was dragged from a popular trail by a cougar Sunday on Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park. The boy was rescued by his father and has since been released from Harborview in Seattle.

Exclusive: Stargate, an effort to supercharge the U.S.’s artificial-intelligence ambitions, has sharply scaled back its near-term plans.

Okay downtime is time to get ready for the next protests! Make your signs now! Do your research! I will see you all out there!!!

On July 13, at a ceremony held in the United Arab Emirates, the 57th International Chemistry Olympiad (IChO) gave awards to student competitors from around the globe. The event took place from July 5 to July 14. cen.acs.org/acs-news/pro... #chemsky 🧪

Today's word is "purl". Meaning: "to flow with a rippling motion" or "the sound or curling motion made by rippling water" or “to knit with a reverse stitch or “to edge or finish with a lace or embroidery” or “a decorative border” or “gold or silver wire thread used in embroidery”.

Damn it. My dog just stole half of my roast beef sandwich. Grrrr

Cat ink sketches with my #fountainpen ! I am really into the fude nib for the big fat lines and line variation! #sketchbook#sketch#sketch #cat #art #caturday #inkart #sciart

This is a Republican Congressional candidate from Georgia calling the tragic flooding in Texas “fake.”

Another part of the flower embroidery is done 🌼

A million embroidery posts in a row.... All selling something already embroidered. Really? Especially when it is the same post over and over and over. #embroidery

The world must be set free.

Due to the ongoing U.S. measles outbreak, a Texas man worried that his young son was at risk and took him to get vaccinated. The cost of the shot? $1,400.

In today’s episode of What Are They Thinking: “If you don’t see a hurricane coming… does it really exist?” 🚨 The Dept of Defense is shutting down its weather satellite program. No more data. No more updates. Meteorologists are scrambling—and we’re heading into peak storm season. Brilliant timing.

Warmer weather certainly helps the spirits pop! 😁

Here's my #WIPWednesday, a #LimerickLace technique little project.... I just found out the other day that @katmabu.bsky.social‬ has campaign embroidery kits. I hate the usual campaign swag baseball hats and t-shirts. I never wear either of them. But this I could be up for! bsky.app/profile/katm...

Might need a tattoo instead of embroidery. . . .

My mother chose "Save our Justice System!!!"

I've lost my spark, my oomph. Feels rather hopeless, and that isn't like me. I just see no fix for what he has done, and he still has 3 1/2 years to continue to destroy us. I've even stopped painting.

This MAGA terrorist arrested and held w/o bail for driving his car into the No Kings protest in Virginia deserves far more coverage from the media!!

Genetic material shed by tumors can be detected in the bloodstream three years before cancer diagnosis, according to a study led by investigators at Johns Hopkins University. That study was made possible with federal funding. Now, many studies like this are canceled. hub.jhu.edu/2025/06/04/...

Time again is coming. Don't get the news fatigue!! Get out there and say or show your feelings!!! Big protests coming - Don't get complacent! You don't have to go to a big place. Go to your nearest travelled road and hold up a sign for an hour. Make a phone call. Just don't quit!!

Right now there are more U.S. troops deployed to Los Angeles than there are to Syria and Iraq combined.

Also LSD. Kary Mullis (inventor of PCR) credited his success to LSD. He even believed an alien talking raccoon visited him once. And that he shared a beer with the ghost of his grandfather. I don't have a supporting point here. I just wanted to share science gossip 🧪

One of the first things JFK has done right.

I was wondering lately why I just can’t seem to focus.

Last week, the EPA rolled back regulations on 4 of 6 per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that were strictly regulated in drinking water under the previous administration. (1/8) 🧪 tinyurl.com/y3bdhbkz

Work in progress! 🌋 #embroidery #art #artist #wip

Got my grubby lil hands on a fountain pen for the first time and I quite like it for both writing and sketching, I have the same pen in black coming in the mail today and can't wait!

Sleep Token - Take Me Back to Eden De Atramentis Document Violet in Lamy Joy fountain pen Another new ink! Had to give it a whirl :) I quite like how it looks, and the waterproof/lightfast ink means it's a good daily driver for me too, so it's currently in my EDC pen

Fountain pen of the day. This was my first Ranga pen, a great artisanal brand from India. This is the model 3C, a long pen with rounded edges. This is made in polished ebonite and has a Jowo fine nib. I highly recommend this brand, since they have literally hundreds of options to choose.

Not only is this beautiful, but it contains information I was low key planning to look up at some point #sciart #embroidery

Galadriel’s embroidery may be finished but I still stare at it at every opportunity! Gonna be spending a chill Sunday working on other pieces for this costume ✨ #ringsofpower #tolkien #cosplay #embroidery

Not a specific suggestion, however I do try to keep the Do Not Associate rules in mind when making a sign: reframingamerica.substack.com/p/do-not-ass...

What are your favourite protest signs? My mother wants me to make her one. Suggestions??

Boycott. Protest. Don't stop!

Living feather dusters 😊

I was going through a pile of tiles and found this one. I don’t know when I did it, but I love it! I think I was trying to practice shading with watercolor pencils. #zentangle
