Finally caught up on my 6-week backlog, embroidering data about the people (adults) I see every day. Got on a roll with it and stayed up until 3 AM on Saturday night to get through a month of it! #DHmakes

It is genuinely incredible to me how much evidence there is to support investing in the public good and how much animus there is to do this simple, effective thing.

No one told me Black Doves is a 6-part Christmas series.

We're trapped now in a position where seniors are stuck in large family homes they can't sell because they can't afford anything new even with their tax break and new folks can't buy because their property taxes are astronomical. Schools and libraries lost funding overnight.

After much resistance I have given in to arranging the piece with colors in a rainbow gradient across the top. The Malabrigo colors are just so beautiful this way! Will shuffle into color chaos by the bottom, I think it is going to work

Still time to join the Granny Life community math/art project at www.grannylifecrochet.com ! My job is assembly, so today I am learning about braided fishing wire and how to tie fishing nets. Hoping to incorporate a strong net grid into the project. It's going to weigh about 15-20 pounds!

Watched a couple fun romcoms last night on Prime, went to buy DVDs, and of course because both were Amazon Studios, Bezos won't let me own a physical copy.

People are upset about how there is a labubu movie being created but we know very little about it. I think we all need to stop, pause, collect ourselves and imagine how incredible a labubu horror movie could be.

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50. I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman. #GiftLink wapo.st/49WOdx1

I never met Alice Wong in person, but like so many great writers I felt like I knew her - and unlike many, when I emailed she emailed right back. ❤️ Peds neurologist @dianacejasmd.bsky.social has a beautiful essay in Wong's Disability Visibility collection - I recommend it to physicians. #neurosky

I've been making little shelf mushroom pins. Did you know that if you don't want to mess with resin you can use this dimensional magic stuff by Mod Podge? it's pretty great for just making stuff shiny

Long ago on the hell site I made long list of historically interesting things to use in dnd ttrpgs and I'll start dragging them over here starting with 2000 years-old sapphire ring presumably belonged to Roman emperor Caligula, depicting his fourth wife Caesonia.

Why is the Save button in Excel depicted as a vending machine with a purchased drink can at the bottom? this question is currently being discussed by young Japanese people on a forum (It’s a floppy disc)

Oh my

This is easily one of the most beautiful things any human has ever made. Possibly my favorite art object on this earth. Simple and yet so compelling.

I found myself starting to doomscroll, but instead of doing that I have decided to stop scrolling and tell you about communal shower traditions in Iceland and why I love them. And no, it‘s not sexual. It‘s because of mental health. Yes, this will be a 🧵 1/?

It’s baby octopus season 🐙🦑 Saw this little guy last night with the Salish Sea School in Anacortes, WA as part of their free community dock walk I volunteer as an interpreter for. We can tell it is a giant pacific octopus from the single line of chromatophores on each arm.

Alice Wong was one of the most effective people challenging the Whiteness of disability communities and its many flaws, but who believed fiercely in us as a community, in disabled people as oracles. Alice brought so much to so many of us, it’s hard to measure the kind of gratitude I have for that.

There’s a little kid here at the spelling bee who looks like 7 year old Beavis it is taking me out. He looks exactly like Beavis, I’m dying.
