@ai6yr Geez, I don't have it on my calendar (it would autopopulate if it included me, right — or is that only if you're still using Microsoft??), so had to look it up. Thanks for the notice! […]

This article starts out assuming you know a bit of obscure West Virginia history, but the effort to reproduce the quilt in question is pretty interesting (the pics are on a carousel at the top, I almost missed them) […]

My #sandiego Congressional rep, #sarahjacobs, voted ‘present’ for the resolution honoring #charliekirk. She is normally a solid progressive vote and I’m flummoxed that she wasn’t a no She’s such a usually consistent progressive voice that I assumed and only after reading this post listing the […]

Disney didn’t lose $7 billion in a day. this started with some site in Pakistan speculating about #Disney losses (± 3.9B) due to the #JimmyKimmel #BoycottDisney campaign. then seems some CENTRIST election grifter group ―that won’t leave the substack nazi […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Any San Francisco kid under the age of 5 can get a free book mailed to them every month under a new partnership announced Friday by city officials and Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. The first book that all children will receive in the mail, addressed to them, is The Little Engine That […]

Dutch politician Esther Ouwehand was asked to remove her first shirt (Palestine flag), so she came back wearing another one of watermelon seeds. see original post: https://techhub.social/@mahmoudoov/115232831501836545 #EstherOuwehand #gaza #palestine […] [Original post on expressional.social]

All the cats and all the celestial bodies are pieced, it’s now just a matter of sewing these disparate sized blocks together (and adding a few borders) I’m enjoying sharing my sewing room with these big cats who don’t shed 😂 Tagging in @erosdiscordia for the […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

Best friend had a baby recently, so now I'm heading to the store for baby quilt material! Lyra is gonna have tummy time with the dinosaurs. #sewing #quilting #crafting

I know it’s to keep away bots but I like to imagine they had to do this to keep ants from editing their own pages.

**Hi, I'm micr0, the creator of Altbot.** Almost a year ago, your incredible generosity helped us raise the funds to buy the server that Altbot runs on today (locally and privately) It's been operating from my home ever since, and I'm so grateful for the support that made that possible. But […]

"the real and crucial struggle is between narrow efforts to reframe history to please a small minority of narrow-minded voters, and the true mission of government as a collective endeavor to solve problems and actually make progress toward the nominal goal of […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

Bought live streaming tickets to the #behindthebastards show from Portland next week. I’ve had mixed luck with streamed #podcast live shows in the past, but the money’s going to a good cause https://www.etix.com/ticket/p/43747082/behind-the-bastards-live-portland-alberta-rose-theatre

First time in 23 years as a mediator I've had to stick around after the meeting to ensure that Party #1 didn't physically assault Party #2. Yes, that is a 4pm gin & tonic in my hand. And wondering whether I should add "6'3 former high school offensive lineman" to my marketing materials.

Here’s a weird one… Been trying to fix a dye bleed for the last two days - the hot water/Dawn/bath tub method - and shortly after I started, my husband asked why the house smelled like a bourbon distillery. Which led to not only rescuing the quilt, but we also figured out his long dislike of […]

The Third Reich didn't last 1,000 years. Pinochet was ousted with a referendum. And the US isn't exactly dealing with the smartest, most competent fascists. Those of you insisting that 2025 is forever need to read a book, touch grass, go to therapy, anything other than trying to make others quit.

I don't know how any of us are getting out of bed in the morning. And yet, he we are - so, well done, you.

I might be interested in commissioning a painting. Is there a follow pack for painters here so I can browse some of their work? Thanks!

When you can’t find a striped fabric in the correct cat fur colors, you’ve got to make your own! That’s why I’ve been delayed on updating the #InarticulateCatUniverse quilt Also, a question primarily for @erosdiscordia (but anyone can chime in) Do you like the […] [Original post on mastodon.art]

✨ Grateful for gentle routines ✨ 🫧 This week, we’re grateful for the quiet magic of routines — the bedtime story, the warm bath, the same soft sheet tucked in just right. In a world that moves fast, gentle rhythms can be a comfort for kids and grownups alike […] [Original post on sfba.social]

We’re getting a local #sandiego #repaircafe! Tho it’s a bit far for me, there’s some items it’ll be worth the trek to fix https://zerowastesandiego.org/the-reuse-repair-collective/

#askfedi - What is "tech"?

@kristinHenry Cool thing I learned today that made me think of you/past #SciArtSeptember prompts Frito-Lay patented a special shape of salt crystal to increase the saltiness of their chips without increasing the amount of salt used. It’s called a hopper-like crystal and it’s similar to an […]

My question yesterday about wool mats has resulted in several good tips - use a clapper, steam or mister bottle - but also some interesting discussions that I probably should have before the purchase, including humidity’s role in pressing, the thickness of the mat, what I want from pressing the […]

“While he couldn’t find her cemetery plot and much of Ziller’s history remains open to conjecture, the quilt she left behind tells us she was loved, loved enough for a small child to carry her handiwork with her for nearly all her years” […]

LOOK AT THIS FUCKING CAT

I think of the Fedi as my somewhat curated collection of pocket weirdos. So many facets of endlessly fascinating weird. :blobCat_aww: One of us.

Boycotting the Eurovision is cool (especially because Israelis *really* care about the Eurovision) but this, right here, is another level

I bought a wool mat big enough to cover my ironing board, but I’m not happy with it. I thought it was supposed to result in crisper seams, but I’m not really seeing that - they are worse than before Anyone with a similar set up have advice? I’m pressing without steam, cotton setting - is there […]

The quilt pictures are too small, and the story is harrowing, but worth the read if you’ve had a shitty day and are feeling like nothing you you create could possibly matter given everything else going on […]

Stumbled on a what looked like a fun 2-day virtual quilting event and thought about posting the info here, but of the *28* featured speakers not a single one appeared to be a person of color. As always it's tough to tell from photos, but not a single one was visibly Brown or Black All those […]

If engrossing and enrolling means what the Internet says it means, then AB 847 passed and is headed for the #california Governor’s desk! TBH, I’m never quite sure when it comes to the California legislature - everything here is much more complicated than #schoolhouserock taught me - but the […]

Working on the bag for my friend, we have an inside pocket! I'm trying to use projects to learn more different methods. Welt pocket is a good addition. #sewing #crafts #bagmaking #ompelu #käsityöt
