I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

Sending big Diwali blessings to everyone who celebrates!! 🌟🪔🌟🪔🌟🪔🌟🪔🌟

Treating myself to some colors todayyy

after millions of views and shares of my Portland Frog art. (thank you all🙏🏾) I got requests to highlight priests, and chickens, and Chicagoans, and T-Rexes, and more… all of us who refuse to bend the knee. so this is for US. 𝚂𝚝𝚊𝚗𝚍 𝚃𝚊𝚕𝚕. 𝚆𝚎 𝚆𝚒𝚕𝚕 𝚆𝚒𝚗.

Thank you for clarifying this!

This is your daily dose of tiny tree content.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

“How can Portland POSSIBLY stand against the might of the federal government?!” “Let me introduce you to our frog.”

A quote for #ShowMeYourKnits Care Week: "We are hungry for things that have touched human hands." Sometimes I knit for myself. Sometimes for someone I love. Sometimes I donate my knits to someone I’ll never meet. Handmade things carry the kind of love and care we all need as humans. 🧶❤️🧵

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.

Trump’s allies now control X, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, & TikTok. They own Fox News, CBS, WaPo, WSJ & NY Post. They own Sinclair Broadcasting which has 200 tv stations and local news in 100 markets. “Freedom of speech” is now what Trump and his billionaire pals say it is.

As my final test, here’s my favorite map of all time The Mississippi Meander Belt, GIS enhanced. Fingers crossed on the site’s compression 10/fin

Who has a squeaky toy in the office??

This morning the 5yo told me his favorite thing about #nature right now is the way Aspen tree leaves sound in the wind. I told him I thought that was a pretty solid choice. What’s your favorite thing?

Some of the current WIPs for #showmeyourknits: pea soup inna sweater (it’ll get cuffs/collar/hem in the Nightshades bc the green isn’t quite a SQ). I got the Catvent (rainbow) un-stuck but then changed my mind on the motif. The cables are from Galloway Pullover to be a scrap busting pillow cover. 🧶

im gonna say this really loud this morning i really need everyone who thinks theyre being annoying about the things they love to do it more. do it louder. your happiness is so special and wonderful to witness and i hope you learn to love the space you take up in this world like we all love it

One of my favorite quotes, from Sarah Hepola: "Change is not a bolt of lightning that arrives with a zap. It is a bridge built brick by brick, every day, with sweat and humility and slips. It is hard work, and slow work, but it can be thrilling to watch it take shape."

I think, in light of all the rotten people out there spreading terf nonsense, today would be a good day to support trans creators. Trans folk, please add your links to this thread for books or crafts or whatever you do!

I like to think of "cryptid" as a subjective term. So long as YOU are surprised that a creature exists, I think it counts as a cryptid.

If you mock a fascist for being fat, you mock fatness. If you mock a fascist for being fascist, you mock fascism. Stay on target.

This feels like a spot of good news www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

if you were personally harmed by Dobson's teachings, i am raising my coffee to you in solidarity. i hope you do something indulgent and embodied today to celebrate.

Finally going through and properly naming years’ worth of my film scans. Imagine labeling things with the camera, when it was taken, and where?! Anyways, at least I get to look at a bunch of film. Nikon F2, same-vintage 50mm, Fuji 200; dev and scan by State Film Lab. #believeinfilm
