Well, then. Fuckitty fuck. I'm going to be a bit scarce here on Bluesky for a few months. Major life changes, some lovely, some dire. I can't go into detail. *I'm* fine. I will drop pretties on here as I can, because beauty is power and resilience. I love you folks.

Yes, I have a Plan for this 'Dreamweaver' silk matka from Silk Baron. I already have shot cotton and silk brocade in this teal/violet colorway.

Ha! Absolutely nothing like getting home after a 12-hour day, & being greeted with the shriek of an uninterruptible power supply battery announcing that it is not uninterruptible. That it is, in fact, an ex-battery well on its way to being a fire hazard. I'll stop off by Batteries Plus tomorrow.

Before you use those cute little mending looms from Instagram, you should actually sew the underlying rip back together. Otherwise the rip might still propagate outside your woven patch.

1/ We *should* nonviolently protest and organize, call our senators and representatives, boycott companies, make art to keep hope and joy alive. Yet there's a special place in my soul for the kind of legal and quiet ratfuckery that helps stall a multibillion $ evil empire. Anyone can do this.

Mr Beast speedrunning this by killing several current and formal world leaders

1/ PSA for US workers who have health insurance through work, but use a 3rd party administration company like Unum to process claims. Download, print out, and keep near you or in your vehicle/bag/bike at least 2 copies of something called 'request for medical information' or similar. It's for...

You can't make me afraid. Immigrants. They commit crimes 10x less than citizens. I don't fear them. Drugs? Oh please, you want to tell me it's ok to buy 10 gallons of vodka but not a joint? I don't fear them. The only thing I truly fear in 2026 are the Evangelical Christians and their faux leader.

The irony — and ignominy — of Pete Hegseth going after Mark Kelly will not be lost on history.

But I've been told it's the immigrants and the trans and the Somalis and Venezuela and TikTok and guacamole and not utilizing my bootstraps and

as I learned from our discourse, the responsible thing to do is to mock JD Vance and theorize this guy was his lover

Make the rat famous & afraid of sunlight.

This reply to the OP should have more upvotes.

This ring. Sterling silver, no hallmark, hand-split & hammered shank. Sold to me as teal-green turquoise and fire agate, but the green stone might be variscite? Anyway. It's old, not old-pawn. The flat bezel strip has mechanically-cut sawtooth and scalloped edges. Estimating late 1970s.

Prospera must burn.

What do Venezuela, Greenland, Honduras, Nigeria, and “Freedom Cities” have in common? The “network state” cabal—which includes Peter Thiel, Marc Andreessen, & Joe Lonsdale—has been circling them like vultures. Thread. ⬇️

Our troops don't do well in jungles. Just sayin'.

So it's appropriate to arrest a world leader if you consider them criminal? You can just go get them? Just asking questions here.

ME: (puts the kettle on) ANCIENT GREEK CHORUS: he's had too much caffeine today ME: (turns kettle off, visibly annoyed. puts mug away) CHORUS: he can run from the kettle but not from his blood pressure

Go away, Chuck. You've done enough damage.

Hell to the yes.

You know who will 'run Venezuela' for the oil companies? Erik Prince.

The Epstein files still haven’t been fully released, Rs are skyrocketing our healthcare costs & holding back childcare funds — and now Trump is doing a blatantly unconstitutional oil (and country!) grab in Venezuela. Welcome to 2026. At least we have the midterms this year. Don’t. Give. Up.

This of course means that Trump is not particularly safe now...but powers behind thrones (like Stephen Miller or Steve Bannon) are even more vulnerable to sudden extradition to The Hague.

Please post your art, your food, your dad jokes, pets, and sunsets. We need these moments to push back despair and rekindle hope!

Holed up in a hospital room on a comfy couch, working on embroidered edges for these tiny (1x2") linen pages. I painted and sewed them last March, while in France. The painted linen vignettes depict moments along the little river that runs through Valle d'Orquevaux, in the Champagne-Ardenne.

Saint Joseph's Hospital in central Phoenix is, so far, awesome and taking my loved one's condition *very* seriously. Cautious optimism, still in fact-finding stages.

OK, this made me laugh. Not a commentary on the shooting or his injury, just funny.

Amid growing concerns over Big Tech firms aligning with Trump administration policies, people are starting to move their digital lives to services based overseas. Here's what you need to know.

Her flail fails keep getting more epic.

THIS ISN’T GETTING ENOUGH ATTENTION. More than 100 immigration judges have been fired nationwide since Trump took office. 21 in San Francisco alone, many without explanation. Why? Because these judges provided due process under US law. The Trump admin doesn’t want hearings or fairness. 1/2

94% of Americans will pay into Social Security the entire year. Here’s when the wealthiest Americans will stop paying into it on Jan 1st: Musk - 12:00:28am Ellison - 12:00:29am Page - 12:00:58am Brin - 12:01:05am Bezos - 12:01:45am Dell - 12:02:09am Huang - 12:02:18am Scrap the cap.

Here’s the thing: any of us who has been a 15yo girl knows this type of guy. Any of us who is a mother knows 15 is a child, so is 17. Any of us who have been SA’d knows proof, even if glaringly clear, still isn’t enough. Believe women and girls w/out 10,000 pages of proof. Guilty AF.

Start stealing that info.

Live Laugh Lincoln

Watching PBS on a hospital TV is the most limp-dicked pathetic travesty I've seen in weeks. Don't 'both sides' the Kennedy Center. Had to shut it off.

Almost poetic.

Hey, #BarrowNeurologicalInstitute, pick up the damn phone. ER & insurance says to call you, that was 27 minutes ago.

This could end up the worst year of my life, or a release from a relationship that defined me for 38 years. Or a rekindling of it. Some losses are sudden. It's worse when you see the person you love drift away. Look up thiamine deficiency, dialysis, and Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome.

My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

If I am ever, somehow, forced into running for, winning, and being sworn into office in America, I will swear in using a Terry Pratchett Discworld novel (not sure which). Or just to show my colors, my copy of Carl Sagan's 'Demon Haunted World'.

"we're here to inspect your daycare center"

Holy fuck! Showing ZERO fear of retribution from a vengeance-obsessed TRAITOR who attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, usurp the constitution, and overthrow the U.S. government, Jack Smith, with ZERO fucks left to give is what a badass American hero looks like.
