My incredible sister works at a fabric store in Michigan and she made this very easy to follow adaptable pattern for a pride progress flag, sewed from reused scraps. I think the best part is the detailed instruction. seamsfabric.com/products/scr...

Sorry, it's switch strains day.

The thing about the pigs' feet has been a rule since I came of age, so I have never had one.

Pickles. Anything pickled.* * If I am ever drinking around you, your pickled herring is gonna go fast. If you see me go for a pickled egg at a bar, I need to be reminded how intense they are every few years, let me suffer. If I start talking about pickled pigs feet, I need to be cut off.

Happy Pride Month from my ridiculously gay upstairs bathroom-in-progress, which is on track to be finished by the end of this month!!

I know how we felt here, with all of those folks showing up, so I would really like to follow folks who are active with everything going on in Newark, not just mainstream media folks or predatory streamers

Does anybody have any good follows for folks that are actually from New Jersey and aren't the usual folks who just travel from crisis to crisis parachuting into situations wherever?

i think i made gooballs for children

"manscaping" was chosen because the phrase "mowing my loins" wasn't as marketable

If you see this and you wanna, quote with a pic you wearing sunglasses

This is a good insult. Thanks @msjennimiller.bsky.social

The only problem I have with the Lawns to Legumes process so far is that one person in authority said echinacea purpurea isn't reimbursable, but then somebody else in charge posted a master list of 1800 plants that were covered, for sure, and echinacea purpurea is on that list.

There is an ice cream truck taking laps around the neighborhood, playing the same unidentifiable song on repeat interspersed with a feminine voice saying HELLO and it makes me miss the creepy Für Elise one.

Proof of concept. I'm definitely going to be using the antique zinc lid, and I need to secure the cage to the light socket, but I'm feeling really good about this.

She will probably get elected, but I find it helpful to remember that we are not stuck in there with her, she is stuck in here with *us* 😈

Every time I see a selectric typewriter I think about how hard I had to fight as a rural kid to find the things I wanted, like ribbons for vintage typewriters, before the internet started really catching on. *Takes a long, hard drag in a cigarette* Remember ordering from Sanrio with checks?

this should probably be a #ThingThursday post but idk what day it is and i just laid eyes on this after 10+ years of not seeing it and it is GLORIOUS red selectric ftw

And sometimes you sit there looking at your workshop trying to toughen up and overcome the executive dysfunction to clean everything up before going back upstairs, and realize that it's not your brain, it's your body. And you need to rest.

I have to say that while small, whole LSAs are special to me, and I will love natural rind forever, I'm really glad I tumbled the agates I did, the way I did. Tumbling the rind mostly off of one did reveal some cool stuff, and adding The other one at a later stage helped preserve some of the texture

Oh yeah, that's way sexier. No I will not explain.

Fuck corporate pride, and Target specifically.

If you're looking for queer & trans-designed pride merch sans rainbows, my teepublic shop is currently hella on sale: www.teepublic.com/user/chekhov...

Shout out to @whinterqueen.bsky.social whose own refurbished lighting projects inspired me, and for pointing out that narcissists don't go out of their way to make incredibly thoughtful, handmade things to help people heal wounds.

Good news, I found a silicone gasket that is exactly the right size for filling the gap between the light cage, and the bulb socket for less than I'd be able to make something custom.

Happy Pride! Please read and share this gift link to a column I wrote last year about Thom Higgins, a Minnesotan who coined the term gay pride. He was a real pioneer who should never be forgotten.

Proof of concept. I'm definitely going to be using the antique zinc lid, and I need to secure the cage to the light socket, but I'm feeling really good about this.

Somewhere in my house is a cigar box filled with metal mirrors and handfuls of found bits of colorful plastic I found on beaches, and all the lens material I to make at least half a dozen kaleidoscopes out of garbage. The only materials I don't have are the tubes. I hope I find that box someday.

I won't know if it's the increase in metformin or if the vitamin B is actually working until I go in for another round of blood tests, but I can tell that my brain is moving faster. There's a definite correlation between how fast my brain moves and how playful I feel when I can process things faster

happy pride, shoutout as always to the 1978 gilbert baker pride flag which had pink and turquoise stripes for SEX AND MAGIC AND ART, and in this house we support gay sex and gay magic and gay art

He brought me shark teeth from Australia and we had matching toenail polish and went barefoot at prom! I'm glad it didn't work out because I like where I am now, and there was no way he was ever leaving the woods we grew up in.

On the first day of Pride the universe gave to me A mosquito bite between my ring finger and pinky

Let's boost this up and help get it done!

Happy pride

Prints of the zuck yacht are now available on my website! Thank you everybody for the love! I'm so grateful 🙏 ryanhillart.net

I couldn't believe my luck finding a poster like this for free at a record store! I still have it and it's still perfect because I got it hardcore laminated at kinkos.

It's weird to see Calamity Jane in different roles.

Indigenous activists shut down intersection at ICE today. DHS FPS and PPB responded but no arrests. 5-31-26

My high school principal, Todd Kleinhans (who got fired several years ago for being sexually inappropriate at a school staff party!) screamed in my face at close range that maybe I was too stupid for advanced classes. My psychologist and child advocates wrote him a threatening letter 1/

My take on Uptown for the past decade has always been that if people want it to be super busy and cool again, they should make it affordable for people to do interesting things without sucking mayor dick. All they wanna do is complain after sucking the life out of it and are no longer entertained.

I'm trying really hard to get into the Canadian version of Traitors, but I just don't believe that lady is evil.

i am stealing this now bc I’m curious ☆ copy this to your profile and let your mutuals tell you their first impression of you ☆

I'm going to leave them in place, but I have to call it on my sumac. They did not go. I thought they might fail because speedee was supposed to deliver them on a Thursday, but for some unknown reason they just got left in the van over a weekend and they were brittle and dry when I got them.

It's ok, I showed him/refreshed his memory now. Next time.

And just like that, pussytoes have gone to seed.
