We’ve been waiting for nearly two years for the State Senate to take a vote on our bill. If they have additional proposals, we’re not the ones stopping them. Btw our legislation includes balanced tax stabilization to help all residents AND additional tax relief for seniors & small businesses.

Building a fiber art business isn’t about chasing trends, it’s about weaving values, story, scale, and authenticity with every thread. 🌱🧵📈❤️ A reminder that your art can be both sustainable and successful✨ #fiberartbusiness #authenticentrepreneur #tactilestories #regenerativefutures #knitsky

When 60% of clothing is fossil‑fuel fibers and 90% of dyes are petrochemical, industry‑sanctioned norms like Pantone's Color of the Year accelerate conformity and pollution. 👉 My latest post: maryannstewart.org/pantone-colo... #Pantone #ColorOfTheYear #NaturalDyes #BioFabricatedDyes #knitsky

Roza continues to pump out deceitful garbage because her work flatters the biases of the rich folks who fund her shoddy work. She's a charlatan.

I'm still waiting to hear where #ICE and #DOJ are taking all of the women and children they are disappearing off the streets. There isn't much mention of them, and that should be cause for alarm.

"Greenland will be the fifty-first state. Coca-Cola will start using cane sugar. All UFC fights will be held on the White House Lawn. Trump’s new perfume is tremendous. He will be on Mount Rushmore by this time next year. And Canada will also be the fifty-first state."

If you're a legal immigrant with a court date, ICE is likely to pick you up after the hearing. If you don't go to the hearing, a judge can order ICE to pick you up. Here's @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social with some great reporting on the Catch-22 Trump has made of our legal immigration system:

This is top tier!

90 days. That's how long we have until close to 20 million households get notices that their health insurance is going up, way up, by an average of more than 75%. Even those without ACA subsidies will see the raw cost of insurance up around 15%. Expect a 4-alarm fire this fall. From me:

Omg yes

You're "just not that into politics?" Your boss is. Your landlord is. Your insurance company is. And every day they use their political power to keep your pay low, raise your rent, and deny you coverage. It's time to get into politics. #itsallpolitical #democracyorwhat #textilewaste #knitsky

As the EU develops new rules on #TextileWaste management, it must: 👕set Extended Producer Responsibility schemes that truly support receiving regions 👕tighten up the rules around the murky export trade 👕reduce the excessive oversupply of new #textiles produced every year in the first place

Repair is personal, policy-relevant, + economically wise. When we mend we shift more than seams; each stitch is part of a larger circle, where textiles live longer, values show up visibly, and the system begins to change thread by thread. Keep mending. Keep circling forward. #textilewaste #knitsky

“You may also notice a recurring glitch called shame. This is not a bug. It is the entire operating system.” Calling all humans. You tender beings. Read this!

🌱 Regenerative farming is not just about growing food, it’s about growing life.

It’s mind-blowing to me that there’s not a single corporate news outlet with an update about Dems walking out of a hearing over republicans not following the rules to advance the judicial nomination of a guy who told the courts to fuck off. Nothing on WaPo or NYT yet. Just wild.

When I create something. I keep all of the pieces. The experiments, the offcuts and all of the small remnants. I find something to do with all of them. I prefer to recreate small art pieces into practical items #quiltsky #sewingteacher #priganart #artquilt #womanartist #artist #upcycledart

What part of your life feels ready for repair? Whether you’re patching a worn sleeve or building a curriculum with love, repair is ritual. Mending belongs in public, in policy, in pedagogy. #stitchingashealing #visiblemending #creativeactivism #communityrepair #textilewaste #knitsky
