I can’t go protest this weekend, but I will try to make time to stab some fabric a bunch of times. Each time I will pretend I am piercing certain people and drawing blood. 🪡 🩸 Death* by 1,000 pricks. *of pricks (ICE)

We’ve graduated from “abolish ICE is the moderate position” to “Nuremberg trials for the Trump regime and its Gestapo is the moderate position.”

interesting information. Who knew? And yes, in the end the liberty and justice ladies will rule the day

The correct answer: "you mean people who build our houses, pick our fruits and vegetables, pack our meat, cook our food and bus our tables, care for our elderly and our children, and pay taxes and subsidize Social Security and Medicare? You mean those people"?

Back on my crafty book bullshit~ Here's the start of some custom edges I sketched up in procreate, cut out with my silhouette, and then sponged on some ink 🐿️ [ #bookbinding #sprayededges #booktok #booksky #diy #stencil #procreate #art #hardcover ]

The Trump admin’s reckless ICE operations are trampling on working people’s fundamental rights and freedoms. We demand that ICE stop these dangerous operations and leave our communities and workplaces before even more innocent people are hurt or killed. https://bit.ly/4sFzgGL

I wish people were as horrified about immigrants being kidnapped and killed in detention centers as they are about this shooting at the same time I am very glad there is finally some larger momentum building against this and I hope it sustains.

My roommate is a teacher and has reported that ICE has been hanging around Septa stops and depots in the interest of abducting kids on their way home because they aren’t allowed to enter schools. They claimed to be part of a “Septa Strike Force” which does not exist. Boost if you can.

The point is to work so someone in the future will be a little closer to living the dream. If you give up, they win. Everybody is tired. But some have been tired for generations. We need to take our turn.

VPN and DMZ captive networks will be the easiest data to see. Hardest to parse. User data is mostly hidden minus the IMEI and Sims serial on the network that links phone to user. Using a company or burner service with a temp prepaid cc will hide you the most. Just don’t give the phone your info.

I think AI is probably a mirage in science. You need to do the work to check the data. Losing field experience is not good. The US is losing too much practical knowledge, in everything, by taking the easier route. (imo)

Stephen Miller is there to remind us of the dignity & class of Nixon's criminals.

So, hear me out on this, I want my taxpayer dollars going to feeding, hungry people, educating kids, and building better roads. I have no desire to buy Donald Trump an island, & last time I checked, the power of the purse, still belonged to Congress.

In the wake of all the news coming out of the US and the amount of shouting at the TV I've done, I thought everyone else might benefit from one of my favourite photos from 2017 to break up the doom scrolling. I cannot fix the big things, so here's a small thing.

Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

my yarn ball burns at both ends, it will not last the night successful knitting experiment proving i can in fact do 2-at-a-time from one ball without getting tangled. (i have a 2nd ball for the heel and ankle)🧶

I should be able to purchase dried dye mushrooms for craft purposes down at my corner store. Lots of other natural dyestuffs as well. 🍄

Don't forget shrubs and trees when you're creating native plantings! Pollinators also need larvae hosts like red twig dogwood and white oak, not just colorful flowers

There’s been a rise of young men sewing across Australia (and the world, for that matter). Social media and Gen Z influencers have a lot to do with it. 👉 Read the full story: theconversation.com/not-jus...

Put the day down where it belongs. Whatever stays heavy don’t need to come with you into sleep. The music can wait. The world can wait. Get some rest. Night.

@vanhollen.senate.gov hi Senator. If anyone in the body does something about this, it'll be you. You know that, right? You don't have this particular Saturday off and we need to hear from you.

I know you doorknobs used your shitass theft machine for this because it makes absolutely no goddamn sense

Ok.

Good kitty.

bye 2025👋

When I taught Law and Society to HS sophomores I always started with letting them complain about our system and the challenged them to develop a "better system for finding the truth." We'd test them out. Generally the kids would generate ideas that fell loosely into 3 categories....

So, librarians, do you have a contingency plan for when these goons enter your facility? You might not be able to block access to a public building, but how are you alerting your patrons? Do you have a plan to get them out safely? Because you should.

Mayor Brandon Johnson gave his “full and complete endorsement” on Monday to a push to name one of Chicago’s snowplows “Abolish ICE,” clearly linking the humorous pun to efforts to oppose President Donald Trump’s mass deportation effort. https://to.wttw.com/4sitElv

So, the time has come where my mom can no longer go to church on her own. I am wondering if I knit while enduring the mass, is that a bad thing?

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Believing that billionaires are fighting for the working class requires an almost comical level of delusion.

The 25 of December is when the "Twelve Days of Christmas" actually begin, known as Christmastide. And there are theories that "the partridge in a pear tree" started as a magpie in a pear tree as it was a motiff in older popular songs. 🐦🎄 Happy Holidays!!

On 25th December, a child was born who would change the world forever. Happy birthday Isaac Newton.

There are some magic little lands out there in the world.

Get off Twitter. And destroy AI.

It’s kind of amazing how appropriate a show from the 1980s is for the moment we’re in right now. I’ve been watching the “V” miniseries on Plex. A bit old-timey with the special effects, sure, but the WW2 allusions and resistance to nazi aliens….
