Fiber artists across the US are using their craft to protest against everything from national guard deployments to rollbacks on abortion rights

the good that you do persists in this world

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

Scientists are exploring how cancer-derived cell therapies like CAR-T could reprogram immune cells and help people with autoimmune diseases like lupus.

I’m a Zillennial, but yes 😘

BREAKING: Jim McGreevey and James Solomon have advanced out of a crowded field to a December runoff for Jersey City mayor. No candidate in the seven-person field received the majority of the vote in the all-party contest, which is necessary to win the seat outright.

There are more of us than there are of them.

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

vacation going well so far! 📍Berlin

It is weird that the assassination of essentially a celebrity influencer is a bigger deal than the shooting of two top state legislators + their spouses

An addled president is shredding the Constitution to usher in white nationalism and fascism while destroying the economy and our health care, so if you’re going to write an alarmist op-ed because a mayoral candidate might open five (5) city-run grocery stores, you can kindly get bent.

uh oh feeling that horrible "hope" other people have once described

Today marks the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. What's happened since? A record number of women have been prosecuted. Pregnancy loss is now considered extremely suspicious, even when it has nothing to do with abortion.

SWEATER SUNDAY 🥹🌈 #showmeyourknits #knitsky

Took my dog to a pet psychic today and they told us that he is an extremist

New Jersey Transit’s train engineers reached a tentative deal to end their three-day strike that had halted service for some 100,000 daily riders, including routes to Newark airport and across the Hudson River to New York City.

A Chicago Pope implies the existence of an MLA Pope and APA Pope

all right everybody, here we go links, trackers, webinars, templates, and all the free support you need if you just got that nightmare NEA email on Friday please share far and wide, you do NOT have to be in Oregon to use these resources

My second NEA piece in two days. Its distressing but at the same time, I feel like this attempt to control the arts is a testament to its power. And why it’s more important than ever for audiences to step up and support it playbill.com/article/nati...

Do not come in my mentions claiming that the public isn’t engaging in widespread pandemic denialism when you’re referring to Covid in the past tense.

these stitch stoppers are my fave purchase from our Wool Walk

One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

they want us poor, sick and desperate

got my first round edits back for a journal article I’m working on!! big leagues! I need some Passive / Active Voice Bootcamp, my muscles are soft from years with no editors 😅

In TV and film, this problem begins with actors and crew being required routinely to work 12+ hour days. Where are the unions? www.theguardian.com/culture/2025... #TV #film #theatre

I mean I liked the White Lotus finale a lot… thinking about the fact that many desire every question answered and every ball caught and every reaction played out. seems to speak to a deeper cultural (spiritual?) issue of an inability to sit with the unresolved. can it be okay to not know?

Demonstrators gathered across the U.S. on Saturday for a day of protest against President Trump and his policies. Read more: nyti.ms/3Ebi0oi

thank you donald trump for your diligent work as you make the US a stagnant, backwater pariah state and playground for sociopathic tech oligarchs

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

tonight’s bill @ NYTW. amazing!

🧶 Knitting is radical—it defies haste, values skill, and honors tradition in a world that craves the disposable. Every stitch is an act of care, every row a quiet defiance against the rush. Craft with purpose, create with intention. ✨ #UplandFiberCo #LGBTQCrafters #MenKnitToo #MindfulMaking

🚨 EMERGENCY PRESS CONFERENCE Columbia/Barnard faculty, Jewish community leaders, immigrant advocates, and rabbis are demanding the immediate release of Mahmoud Khalil from ICE custody. We will not be silent or cower in the face of American Fascism. #FreeMahmoud

the only thing missing from this otherwise perfect birthday is sour cream and onion Ruffles, to compliment my evening viewing of Ratatouille ofc. 🎉

More arts workers showing courage: some theaters (including the Public) released a statement reaffirming their commitment to DEI and trans/NB artists. Then some OTHER theaters (with the ACLU) sued the NEA playbill.com/article/publ...

WIP Wednesday! working up my first raglan cardigan (how?!) and a beautiful fade 🌈 #knitsky #wipwednesday

"democrats plan to color coordinate to communicate opposition" is the biggest loser shit i've ever heard. School Spirit Week-ass action. "I do not give facebook my permission"-ass action. are they hitting themselves in the head with hammers at every DNC event

Today @dramatistsguild.bsky.social @ncacensorship.bsky.social @artistsatrisk.bsky.social @penamerica.bsky.social and others expressed deep concern over the Trump Administration’s recent moves to impose ideological control over federally funded cultural programs: #theatresky #artssky #advocacy

I’ve finished two sweaters this week (!!!) - one from April 2024 that was put in time-out, and one from October 2024. I wish I wasn’t so slow, but I am super duper proud of what I’ve been able to accomplish! #knitsky

The erasure of the Jan. 6 records comes while the administration is also seeking to whitewash the teaching of U.S. history, threatening to withhold funds from schools that teach about America’s troubled history of racial and gender discrimination. By @alecmac.bsky.social

No one in the arts should stand for this. If you’re on an NEA panel this year, it’s time to resign. If you’ve recently been awarded a grant, you should turn it down. And you should do it as publicly as possible.

Listen friends - gather your hope where you can. People showed up in all 50 states on a moments notice. Voicemail boxes of senators are filling up. Lawsuits are being filed. Look at all the good people. And do not forget to take care of yourselves. Seriously. This is a long haul.

I went to my Congressman's local office today. First off, they were surprised that I was there. They said they had been getting phone calls, but I was the first walk-in. That said, the phones were not ringing off the hook. If the DC phone lines are busy, try calling the local office.

Aliens (completely bewildered): so the groundhog Me: is clairvoyant, yes

reeeeeeally freakin surreal to be developing a play about taking down Nazis right now. (see: Hannie Schaft + the Oversteegen women / the Dutch Resistance)
