Burned the back of my left hand on my air fryer the other day, and didn’t realize it blistered until last night…when I discovered some of the blistered area had come off while washing my hands. 😭 this sucks, and I don’t have any burn cream. At least I have adhesive bandages.

Also will be testing out some embroidered sleeve designs (rather than quilted fabrics), so open to custom requests for those! Can currently make sizes up to an iPad Pro

Bumping again - I have Sat and Sun off, so I plan on streaming and hopefully getting some quality time making device/book sleeves in ❤️ I can do up to an iPad Pro size atm (please help me clear out my fabric stash 😂 it’s a tad overwhelming)

Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are all planning huge layoffs. Amazon got $17.5B in federal tax breaks last year. Jeff Bezos is worth $270B. Meta saved $13.7B in taxes. Mark Zuckerberg is worth $210B. Microsoft saved $12.5B last year. Its CEO is worth $1.3B. This is what a rigged economy looks like.

Relatedly: publishers, festivals etc. measuring someone's reach on algorithm-driven, sociopath-owned, or video-based platforms are effectively demanding that women and minoritized people face more abuse in order to (maybe) get (better) book deals. #publishing folks should hang out *here* more. 💙📚

Sorry streams have been incredibly sporadic this month. 😩 adjusting to a higher ADHD med dose has not gone well, on top of still figuring out my thyroid medication dose. Likely going back down on the ADHD meds, and still lowering the thyroid ones again next month. On top of starting new job,

Harvard University's top leaders likely enslaved thousands of people between the founding of the school in 1636 and the defeat of the Confederacy, according to new research.

*Interesting that he and the commenters are not blaming AI or science fiction here. Just, you know, everyday oligarchy

I can probably “fussy cut” the fabric if there is a specific portion of the design you want to make sure is featured as well. (Fussy cut is when you cut fabric specifically for a design or portion to be centered or close to it)

Found 2-3 yards of stained glass Beauty and the Beast fabric in my stash, and got 3 enchanted rose zipper pulls in today that I had ordered. 👀 anyone want a custom ereader or tablet sleeve (or even a book sleeve, would have a snap tab but won’t zip closed with a book in it). Message me 🥰

thanks to everyone who spoke to me for this story. i had over 20k words between research and transcripts, so there's a ton i left out, which ironically provides an even bigger scale to how much of an issue this is

This case is also currently available on Etsy - I intended to use it for my Kobo, but it's not quite wide enough, but will comfortably fit a Kindle :D www.etsy.com/listing/4503...

So I have been going through my fabric stash (again lol it’s a forever process, I swear). Found some pieces of licensed Sailor Moon fabric that are *just* big enough to make into smaller tablet or ereader device sleeves - around Kindle size. I also have 3 custom zipper pulls on the way-

The fact I’m learning about this name change from Pop Base is so weird. But it’s true! You can have no cysts and still have it.

Portable Pocket Soup using a recipe from 1694. Once used for the navy and long trips, making it is a lot of work so I can see why it’s gone out of fashion. youtu.be/YHICMQ1YDm4?...

you can get valuable information from people who aren't bullseye for the target audience, but it has to be interpreted through that lens and shouldn't be treated as though whatever they say is canon

looks into the eyes of every cosplayer who started within the past decade you probably don’t actually need a full helmet for that wig helmet is only needed for bracing heavy or detachable objects (and for detachable you can also do just a partial helmet where the back is still flexible)

Historian of abolition here, history tells us how we got here, to put it succinctly “John Brown was hanged for treason and Robert E. Lee was not.”

This is a really well written piece and is worth your time

Called my mom and wished her a Happy Mothers Day. It’s a tough day this year for both of us. I didn’t mention it earlier, but my godmother passed almost a week ago, from complications of COPD. She wasn’t a constant in either of our lives for a long time, but she really stepped up and helped when-

“Merely disliking this thing/person for personal reasons is inadequate, I must make my dislike a sign of moral superiority and a Righteous Cause” is one of the worst social things the internet has supercharged

A lot has happened, but not much has changed.

@jibbi.bsky.social HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Watching The Other Bennet Sister. My only critique so far…OBVIOUS LACK OF STAYS. The costumes are otherwise lovely. But really, foundational garments. Please 😭

Art of the ancient Americas may not be your thing, but you have to love this earthenware crab vessel. I'm sorry, I don't make the rules. 🦀 This is going into our imaginary museum replica store, pronto. #LACMA Colombia, Calima style, Ilama period, ca. 1500 BCE-100 CE. 🏺 1/ 📸 me

I wanted to draw it The adventures of Murder Barbie and Bonebag Jones #art #warcraft #valeera

We've reached the point where one party has so obliterated the rule of law that everyone else continuing to abide by it will only hasten the end of our democracy. That's a recipe for chaos and violence. It's terrifying, and I don't know what we do about it.

It exists! I interviewed backup dancers, producers, the costume designer, the song’s producers who granted the rights, and so many more who were involved: web.archive.org/web/20240227...

Bollocks. One, hardcovers are selling great, especially the ones that these days come with sprayed edges and illustrated end pages. Two, ditching hardcovers would absolutely gut author and bookseller incomes. You want to fuck up publishing? Kill the hardcover. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

The fetishization of Native girls and the stealing of our faces to entertain the white gaze is both historical and disgusting. Paul Gauguin was once and still is praised for doing this in his paintings, while actively sexually assaulting Tahitian children between 14-19 yrs of age.

Yall, drink water, stretch. Give yourself some positive reinforcement, do something nice for yourself tomorrow.
