is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

are you an ex-mennonite witch? are you part of the missing witches coven? do you WANT to be? i've recently discovered that most 'ethnically mennonite' people in germany/russia/canada/south america were actively nazis.

i cannot decide between black ribbon laces or matchy leather laces for my unicorn disco fringed moccasins. halp? #leatherwork #HandmadeShoes #HandmadeMoccasins #FringedLeatherMoccasins #DiscoBoots

it's important this go as viral as the original story for morale purposes if nothing else. despite the image they project these people are NOT unaccountable. consequences CAN be forced. focused anger and outrage MATTERS.

made myself a red leather band for my apple watch! #leatherwork #DIYAppleWatchBand #HandmadeWatchBand #CustomLeatherWatchBand

when i was a kid, my family would have pillow fights, and for some reason when we swung a pillow at someone, we would yell 'yang!' and it came to mean bonking someone. so! if yeet is 'throw' and yoink is 'take', then yang is in the same word-family... #yeet #yoink #yang

Y'ALL. i just got half a cow of shiny iridescent fairy leather and i intend to make disco boots and fetish harnesses and everything i can imagine with this bovine. #leatherwork #FairyLeather

got a nerd watch with a nerdy background. LCARS ftw! #LCARS #StarTrek #AppleWatchSE #NerdWatch

flowers are starting to show themselves on the east coast of 'canada'. it feels springy at last! #snowdrops #fleurs #PlantFrands

Are we not angry enough

The Trump Administration is eliminating the Office of the Chief Scientist at NASA. The current head of that office is Dr. Katherine Calvin, an expert on climate change, global modeling, and international scientific negotiations. www.science.org/content/arti...

i am no longer involved with this person in any way, but... circus used to be my RealJob™ and this is a little BTS of me and a guy doing partner poi! i miss performing. #FlowSky #PartnerPoi #PodPoi #GlowPoi

Think we’ve forgotten about the time that Elon was booed so badly by fans of Dave Chapelle (of all people) that he locked himself in his office and Twitter employees considered calling the cops to do a wellness check. What I’m saying is we can go harder.

does this count as leatherwork or bookbinding? or both? i made a sleep cover for my kobo with leather and handmade paper. and magnets (to put the kobo to sleep). #leatherwork #BookBinding #KoboSleepCover

anyone else feel like 'the substance' was a scathing critique of beauty standards and aging in women, but the last 10 minutes were written by sam raimi and performed by GWAR? just me? i feel like i got punked. #TheSubstance

little bit late to the #ShowMeYourKnits sock party, but here's two mismatched socks! one from a pattern i have lost and one that was just a mish-mash recipe of toe-up sock components i liked. 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

was anyone else's family indoctrinated at dinner by 'dr.' james dobson, or were y'all normal? good heavens, no wonder i need therapy. youtu.be/32yCQoCXwhE

sip and stitch not going very quickly, here's that same partly-finished brioche hat from weeks ago with an oat milk mocha and! a dilly dally lemon meringue poptart! 🧶 #FiberuaryChallenge #CoffeeIsLife #knitting #KnitSky #EatLocal #PoptartThursday

okay, so... these neon green and black fingerless mitts were a handmade gift for @jcvideohfx.bsky.social and i took slightly racy photos to show him. nothing is showing besides my scandalous shoulders, but... i'm labeling it anyway. sorry (not-sorry?) #FiberuaryChallenge 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

i've missed a few days, but i'm back to #FiberuaryChallenge ! today's prompt is 'memories'. this is me rediscovering how cute knit hats are with my short hair, with my 'konami code' reversible hat. 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... payhip.com/b/MQDa ko-fi.com/s/7450e13dd9

believing that both the pandemic AND the vaccine were engineered for population control to advance 'the great replacement' (get over yourself, but also remember THAT'S WHAT CANADA DID to indigenous people) is a disgusting, racist, white supremacist delusion. 🧵1/5

my fibre friends! also my witchy friends, but since fibre arts are basically magic, same thing. here is überwench plus mini-wenches yelling up the sun on a beach. #FiberuaryChallenge

i'm not american, but if you are and want to know what you can do... here's one thing. #NoLGBWithoutT

#FiberuaryChallenge twos day calls for fingerless mitts! the green 'dukes up' are reversible, grey 'velvet grip' are lace. www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... payhip.com/b/E7SJ ko-fi.com/s/28e1b5c2c3 www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... payhip.com/b/Om7Ne ko-fi.com/s/26d8127cce 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

forgot my #FiberuaryChallenge yesterday! i'm reading 'hand of light', 'finding the fool', 'the only astrology book you'll ever need', and i'm watching 'elementary' (woo lucy liu!!) #OnMyKobo #KoboBooks

Thank you to everyone who has joined the resistance! Our ranks grow stronger every day.

my #FiberuaryChallenge cozy corner: a grey sheepskin pillow and a book. i'm sure there's yarn somewhere close, because at my place, yarn is like spiders; never more than a few feet away. 🧶 #YarnIsLikeSpiders #HandmadeKoboCover #LeatherWork

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

#FiberuaryChallenge love, you say? love is finding a knitworthy soup-making human to spend time with. 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky #KnitworthyPartner @jcvideohfx.bsky.social

a very happy 'james cook is dead' day to those who celebrate. #LandBack #DismantleWhiteSupremacy

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

favourite could be a lot of things, #FiberuaryChallenge ... coffee is my favourite 'thing', i suppose, but! knitting related? chiaogoo needles (especially interchangeable shorties) are my favourite tools. 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

my unfinished business is vast, but today, the 12th day of the #FiberuaryChallenge i am thinking about this 'invisible' ballerina flat toe-up sock i'm developing. all the ones i've found have been top-down and i'm not a fan. 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

I have taken the resources that were in the budget and which you were probably saving for higher education Forgive me they were needed to feed the AI bubble and to dismantle the humanities

ohai #FiberuaryChallenge ... texture, you say? @woollywormhead.bsky.social north lyme has TEXTURE. especially when you use not-superwash wool to knit it. mmm. toothy. 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

alas, #FiberuaryChallenge i was too busy having a #SundayFunday to document it, and i don't really keep a mood board, so please accept instead my recent ravelry wishlist. it's nerdy af. 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

i'm not finished designing these socks because i cannot find the project bag that they're in, BUT! they're red, which is one of the themes for this week's #ShowMeYourKnits behold the boston sock in progress! 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

The part of George Orwell’s 1984 that everyone forgets is how the music and publishing industries have been replaced by a machine that spits out songs and bad novels “without any human intervention.” The goal is to keep you from ever having to think.

i don't take a lot of flat lay photos, so i'm recycling this one from a #FiberuaryChallenge from the past. here is a pile of hats designed by me, the weekender sweater, knit-n-slide shawl, and no-pattern socks that i just threw together. 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

dear #FiberuaryChallenge my most obvious mood booster is coffee! though noro silk garden doesn't hurt either (that's what this hat is made of. probably a discontinued colourway). 🧶 #knitting #Knitsky

pop of colour(s?) for #FiberuaryChallenge day 6. it's a polygrade shawl and i haven't worn it yet because i keep forgetting to weave in the ends. #BadBaby 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

even more stripes! it's 'clever anna', bias knit stripes. #ShowMeYourKnits

work in progress for #FiberuaryChallenge today: this is a brioche hat i'm designing to go with my knit-n-slide shawl. i'm using bluegreen and chartreuse @yvieknits.bsky.social yarns, a mitchell's fiber arts black unicorn, and a speckle yarn i forget the name of. 🧶 #knitting #KnitSky

THIS. meatball soup, from the genius brain of matty matheson. it is delicious and spicy and i never want to stop eating it. #HomemadeSoup #SoupsSaladsSandwichesCookbook #MeatballSoup

moar #ShowMeYourKnits stripes! i designed and knit this hat to replace one that @jcvideohfx.bsky.social lost, and then i wanted one for myself. i have yet to publish the pattern, because my computer is stuck in storage... 🧶 #knitting #StripedKnitHats

day 4 of the #FiberuaryChallenge is 'inspiration'... so much of what i love to knit and design has been influenced by @woollywormhead.bsky.social and lynne barr. their brains just work differently in the best ways! #SidewaysKnitting #ReversibleKnitting 🧶 #knitting #knitsky
