Book Cover of the Day:

Learning in school is not enough. You must continue to teach yourself throughout your life. Study history, read myths, memorize poems, get acquainted with the greatest philosophers & writers. In an age when tech is cooking many brains, we need an army of autodidacts.

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

One of my students gave me this tote bag that came. with their duvet. It has these cute daisies embroidered or maybe needle punched into the fabric? I got a pair of grey Wrangler cargos at the thift and plan to give them a little flavour by sewing these on.

WATCH: Here’s where Netanyahu says the purchase of TIKTOK is important so Israel can “battle” for public opinion 🤔 (Sure sounds like they plan to manipulate the algorithm, with the help of the Trump allies buying it — and sounds like Elon is helping them too)

So I learned a new pop-tab weave recently and I absolutely love it! I've been testing it with leather rope, ribbon, upcycled rickrack, and bias tape and seeing what holds up best. #upcyledart #ecofriendly #solarpunkfashion #diyFashion #diycrafts

He's helping. ... Finally started the mend on my sisters campfire blanket. I'm starting with the small holes to get used to mending something like this. Its three layers of Yarn in the weave which Ive never worked on before. Im challenging myself to make both sides seamless if I can #visiblemending

An underarm repair on an aging cashmere sweater! It still needs a bit more work, but the main damage has been fixed #beforeandafter #repair #makedoandmend #sustainableliving #design

"My fucking shoulder popped," or whatever it was the Saja Boys sang...

Do you care? That the US Supreme Court just said it's totally fine for ICE to racially profile any of your POC friends? Is it enough yet to stop visiting or nah, because you're not POC and it doesn't impact your enjoyment? Are you able to forgive and ignore this as well?

These guys saw their business implode in 24 hours and panicked, it can be done.

To put this another way: you can't stop it from making things up because *literally all it does is make things up* It just generates likely text. Sometimes what's likely is also true. Sometimes it's not. This means it has the same relationship to truth as a magic 8-ball. Literally.

Every day I think about revenge frank peak makeup

Actually had a moment between teaching and business stuff to complete a personal project this summer! I found a free pattern online for this (link in thread), so I made a little gift for Jenna #kpopdemonhunters #diycrafts #embroidery #pinsandpatches

For my cat-loving friends.

Holy heck, this is it. This is the first place I saw Sailor Moon: on the pattern spinners at a Bouclair, waiting for my mom to buy fabric.

To illustrate further how big shoujo anime and manga was in the early 00's, these are just a few cosplay photoshoot / meet ups at Anime Expo 2004 (Anaheim, CA) highlighting series such as Fruits Basket, Fushigi Yuugi, and various CLAMP series. I really miss the massive CLAMP meet ups!

Finally getting back to a personal project. I got this shirt years ago from Micah Ulrich, but over the years the print has started to fade - so I'm trying to embroider it back. I'm not amazing at it, but it's looking better than faded. #visiblemending #mendingmatters #embroidery

I've been off work since Monday and today is the first time it actually felt like it. I spent part of the afternoon practicing sewing buttons on my flower combat pants. #mendingmatters #makerspace #handsonlearning #visiblemending #handsewing

Happy 25th Anniversary Final Fantasy IX! The best, and my favorite always #FFIX25FanArt #FFIX This game keeps getting me emotional when I think about it, and makes me want to return to it, meet all the characters once again and re live the adventure!

Happy 25th Anniversary FFIX! #FFIX #FF9

Happy 25th anniversary, #FF9 ! I was 12 when it came out, and I remember going to Electronics Boutique with my dad to pick it out (the release in the states was closer to Christmas) Throwback to 2013 when I cosplayed Zidane with @naiiki.bsky.social as Garnet Photo by @jwaidesign.bsky.social

Happy 25th anniversary to FFIX!!! I actually first played the game as an adult a few years ago, but I fell so in love with Vivi that I had to immediately build this cosplay 💕 📷 yinphoto

Omg it was so true though. Constantly referencing to the PlayOnline website for further information, but back then we were still dealing with dial-up internet. Here is just a sample from the guide I somehow still own

I MADE IT IN THE PIT!! #dashcon2

⚠️🇨🇦ATTENTION CANADIANS 🇨🇦 ⚠️ Please take a moment to sign this petition to ask our Gov to facilitate and aide in a UN lead humanitarian mission to bring in much needed food and aid to the people purposely being starved in Gaza in what The UN has named a genocide. 🔁&❤️ www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

I look to this piece by Seth Tobocman and keep it to my heart when I need it

Just my monthly reminder that you can buy my 2024 collection of poetry here if you’d like to or review it if you have already. amzn.eu/d/2MfE0S2

the neat thing is we had labubus in the 90s too

First big mending project, excited and apprehensive! It's a poly wool blanket of my sisters that she got too close to a campfire with. She asked me to mend it for her for her birthday. #visiblemending #mendingmatters #prayforme

no more manspreading we’re skirtspreading

Finished another sock mend before our Darning Workshop this Saturday. You can't convince me #visiblemending isn't punk

Been packing to actually get my stuff moved in to Jenna's place and am so excited to find a place to hang this lil pan cutie rainbow 💜

🌈Happy Pride Everyone✨ One of our kids designed this message for our pride sign this year and we couldn't be more proud to show it off 💕

Trying hard to be social and not just be online for work so I can you know... keep in touch with friends, maintain relationships, and be better at work life balance 😎👉👉
