‘Weapons of mass construction’: the US ‘craftivists’ using yarn to fight back against Trump

Maggie enjoyed our first snowstorm.

Happy Chanukah to everyone wishing to be lifted by love, light, and peace.

Maggie says, “Hello!” @averybanks.bsky.social

I just saw a private viewing of this heart-wrenching film. Please watch the trailer and then tell your local librarians (public and school) that you support them. #fREADom thelibrariansfilm.com

I baked an eggless smash cake for my grandson’s first birthday party. He has a severe egg allergy. I hope it tastes good… although, it’ll be smashed, so I guess it doesn’t matter! Haha! The vanilla buttercream frosting is delish!

You can’t talk about cleaning up crime in D.C. while a 34-count convicted felon is running the country.

Last night, my daughter and I created our own scarecrows. If you live in Bucks County, PA and want to enjoy a super-fun crafting experience, Artful Treasures is the place for you. I can’t wait to bring my grandkids there! www.artful-teasures.com

@averybanks.bsky.social Maggie is cuddling with one of her new, favorite, squeaky friends… Mr. Waffles. 🧇 ❤️

Bird feeder patrons.

Quinoa salad. And… yes. It is good.

He just dropped $280,000,000 worth of artillery in a war that’s not ours, but our grandparents have to live on Ramen noodles because America can’t afford Meals on Wheels anymore. Make it make sense.

What’s the buzz? I’m babysitting my grandkids today. 🐝🐝❤️❤️❤️

I just have to share this doggie and daddy harmonica/squeaky toy musical duo once again. (Maggie- on the squeaky toy) 😊❤️

@averybanks.bsky.social Maggie is exhausted. Busy day: Play outside Play inside Eat snacks Repeat

@averybanks.bsky.social This duet is for you!

Morning! It’s time for breakfast.

Happy Mother’s Day to every loving person who has made a difference in a child’s life. 🌷🌷

Hi! It’s me… Maggie! Hope you’re having fun in the sun! @averybanks.bsky.social

The letter B. Just a reminder… dandelions are pollinators. Let’s protect the bees!

Keep up the momentum.

I made yummy minestrone soup.

Spring!

Maggie! 🍀💚

Blueberry streusel muffins. Yum!

D is for Dog… my grand-puppy, Kora the Puggle Princess.

Maggie never left my side until I felt better. We camped out in my daughter’s childhood bedroom. ❤️

This is worth doing. Retailers obsessively track daily sales; they *will* notice our (in)action.

I finally deactivated my Twitter account… after 13 years of connecting with fellow educators, writers, artists, animal lovers/rescuers, and 💙 folks. I will miss my Twitter friends, but I can no longer support a diseased mind. Musk uprooted goodness.

Happy ❤️ Day!

Let’s Go EAGLES! 💚💚

@susiepaws.bsky.social Helloooo! I’m here! 💙

Finished this name art piece for a super, special, little angel. (Hermit crab, Urchin, Dolphin, Starfish, Octopus, Narwhal)

@debbieohi.com Thank you for this morning’s heartfelt post. I’ll never shy away from sharing my convictions and condemning hate… I will never stop embracing joy. I moved to this platform in search of kindness, cuteness, and good books… and to share my art and pix of my rescue pup. Love is my jam. 💙

Happy New Year! Let’s make it a bee-u-tea-ful one.

I bought my husband coffee that truly makes a difference. ❤️ groundsandhoundscoffee.com
