I'll get back to drawing cute things to stitch, but first my mind is occupied by the news. I can't march with you so drawing is all I can do. Is it enough?  This design is provided for free:  https://ko-fi.com/s/ef9cc3d4f1 #craftivism #crossstitch #queerart #smallbusiness #freebie #craft

Enough with the slop, support human art. #noai #supportartists #noaislop #queerartists

If creating feels wrong right now, it’s because something is wrong. Silence is how cruelty becomes” normal” You don’t need perfect words, just your voice. Speak up! Share what you see. Name what feels off. History warned us what silence does Let art witness Let it resist. #QueerArt #HumanRights

Just read this fascinating piece on how a queer, boundary-breaking creator may have significantly influenced Piet Mondrian’s iconic grid style. Her work is finally getting the recognition it deserves in museums and the history books. buff.ly/bKbluKp #MarlowMoss #PietMondrian #QueerArt #LGBTQArtists

For the 1st time in 10 years, Maga is... irrelevant. NO ONE cares about them. Not in our discourse online, our community spaces, or even our families. Does anyone give a shit what some maggot thinks about anything? I dont think so. They dont matter... and I dont think they will ever matter again.

***CW: Loss of Pet*** My sweet angel baby kitty had a stroke last week and by yesterday, we knew she was suffering and after the ER vet doc confirmed that there was no coming back from from the damage done, we made the decision to give her mercy. Rest in Sunbeams and Starlight, little kitty.

Exclusive: A series of internal government messages obtained by The Post reveal how U.S. embassies and the State Department have pushed nations to clear hurdles for U.S. satellite companies, often mentioning Starlink by name.

In a scathing dissent, Ketanji Brown Jackson slammed the court's ruling made under the “shadows of our emergency docket." “Make no mistake: We are just as wrong now as we have been in the past, with similarly devastating consequences. It just seems we are now less willing to face it,” she wrote.

An excellent post by @stevevladeck.bsky.social

ICE isn't "deporting" immigrants, it is kidnapping them. DOGE isn't "fixing" the government, it is dismantling it. Trump isn't "helping" Americans, he is retaliating against them. Pam Bondi isn't "upholding" the Constitution, she is ignoring it.

"It's complicated."

It's never a bad time to pressure game industry purse-holders to finally reassess their longstanding relationship with the military-industrial complex, using whatever tools we have at our disposal. Like when they're profiting off a globally reviled genocide, for example. Now's the time.

An emotional and financial deadbeat manipulator who has the nerve to fashion his mouth against the ordinary Americans who worked hard their entire lives and paid into a fund to ensure they would have subsistence to live on in their old age. Stand up Americans.

Time for my favorite rhyme!

Yeah we didn’t need some rich old corrupt white lady telling us that Trump was bad. We did need someone who would actually represent us and not sell us all out to the highest bidder.

Where the fuck are the national Dems

FWIW, when we reported on prenatal genetic testing, we had *hundreds* of conversations about NIPTs, and heard from many hundreds more. So, as a companion to our investigation, we made this guide to the test, their accuracy, their cost, and more. I hope it's useful to you.
