After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.

BREAKING: Congress just gave final approval on a budget bill that guts Medicaid, defunds Planned Parenthood, and supercharges funding for ICE. We the people will bear the brunt of these harmful policies — and we won’t forget who caused this devastation to our health, rights, and dignity.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I have turned into someone completely humorless because Elon Musk and Trump feud is completely unfunny to me because the wreckage of their little playground is the world I live in. Everything pisses me off bad

Working on my new Landsknecht and finally at the point where I have stuff to share that's not boring for non-sewists lol

Just came back from the MOST beautiful event I've ever been to in my life 😍 definitely gonna try and make it out to more reenactment events!

To continue my last post, I would also like to refer to someone as, "babe" or similar pet names but purely platonically. I just like being vaguely affectionate lol

I just want someone to platonically call me "baby" IS THAT TOO MUCH TO ASK????

A book I've heard about and dandyism has been something I've been interested in forever (it's the same reason I'm so interested in people like Matthaus Schwarz, Beau Brommel, Dapper Dan, etc across history) so it's time to do some learning 🤩

Gonna be teaching a hand sewing class this weekend and prepping the kits for my students 🤩🤩

Cut all of my hair off to prep for locs eventually~ I never feel shorter than when I have no hair lol

Sampler is done! I have about a thousand notes to take and corrections I'll wanna make for the final version 😂

The chalk will eventually go away but also since this is a sampler I'm okay with imperfection 😂 finally adding the diamonds in after finishing up the outline stitches

Once again, the media is pretending they don't know what a N*zi salute looks like. The toothlessness is staggering.

Sampler is sampling, this is the most finicky and fiddly work I've ever done 😂 also you can literally watch this project in real time as I start to understand how to keep straight on the grain lol (Major royal artisan progress let's goo 💪💛)

Experimenting with mixing pieces for Bicolline

Am I partially putting this here so this image remains easy to find? Maybe! But also it's the project I'm currently working on~ I'll be sending updates on this soon

I feel like I'm about 3 seconds away from a panic attack and have felt that way for about a week at this point. So pardon me if im harder to reach, I'm actually struggling a lot 😎✌️ Have this very bad sampler I worked quickly to get a feeling for the stitches used on a new project~

Just making sure you all see the cool AF designs Sawyer has designed to support himself! Please share and shout out on this blessed month fellow gays Ty Ty 🌈🌟🏳️‍⚧️

Black Trans Lives Matter.

Just attended a round table discussion on how to teach within the SCA! As someone intimidated by structuring and presenting a class, I'm excited to see more of these types of discussions in the future~ I definitely want the SCA to start leaning into that training/teaching culture😍

A summary of my week in a single gif:

love you. theres a thin line between keeping yourself informed and making yourself miserable so please take care of yourself. they want you to feel scared and defeated but there will Always be people who love you for who you are & there will always be people who look after and care for one another

Dear #cozyfantasy authors--who else has a book coming out this year? Let's help each other out.

The ban only being lifted "because of President Trump" is propaganda. You are not immune. I am not immune. It is plain and easy to see.

This is the GOP’s long con on full display.

My controversial take is that Tumblr was, and still kinda is, the superior social media platform

Prepping a letter for a secret Santa gift 😍
