We’re seeing increased and aggressive ICE activity across the Portland metro region — including around sensitive locations like schools. Save the PIRC hotline on your phone and call/text if you witness ICE activity: 888-622-1510

recently discovered there's a great local yarn store that I pass every day to and from work and it's soooo tempting to pop in constantly despite having two projects on needles and a third ready to start. they might have something new to admire!! 🧶

🕯️like to charge, repost to cast 🕯️

"Where we see a pocket of blue sky for the first time in a year, they see an apocalypse. I don’t know how to reconcile the two."

just finished stitching up this quick knitting project bag just in time to hold this sweater WIP that's getting too big to just drag around the house 😊🧶

the benefit of having multiple creative projects going at once is you can bounce between them when things get annoying knitting math not adding up? time to work on a machine sewing project for a bit!

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Good things are possible and we don’t have to settle.

Oh my god it was right after the chorus dropped too

good things happen! what a day, so happy for you NYC

It's cool and hot to vote in local elections!! Go vote!

New awareness campaign

I really love this Vincent Van Gogh quote: "To do good work one must eat well, be well housed, have one's fling from time to time, smoke one's pipe, and drink one's coffee in peace." No romanticizing the starving artist. Van Gogh said UBI all the way.

Hot take: Pigeons are majestic. Who agrees with me??

was blessed this month with a really excellent string of reads, would recommend any and all of these 📚💙 I think this is the most I've read in a month this whole year!

Just finished devouring Hungerstone 📚💙 Nothing beats a sapphic vampire revenge story in my heart, 10/10 no notes

This piece really resonated with me. The magic is in the doing, in the world we share, and in fighting injustice where you can✨ "It’s the action that makes the practice, and the practitioner. So if you’re doing anything, no matter how “small,” you’re already way ahead of the curve."

in case you need it, or have the means to donate, there are a series of free fridges around Portland that are available 24/7 sites.google.com/view/pdx-fre...

the modern Sisyphean experience of logging back in to a website I use at work every day, despite checking "remember me on this computer" each time

can't escape the fact that in order to enjoy the benefits of writing poetry one has to actually, like,,,,,,,,,, ,,,,, write poetry

“what radicalized you” idk paying attention

have had this pile of cut fabric sitting around for a few weeks while I hyperfixated on knitting..... maybe today's the day to pick this project back up though??

gonna be thinking about Frankenstein (2025) for a while I think. a masterpiece! especially loved the costuming, Elizabeth had some stunning beetle-themed outfits.

wanted to also point out that Pagebound is explicitly anti-AI which is so rare these days and super worth supporting!! 📚💙

is anyone else checking out Pagebound? the forum feature looks so fun, like an always open book club discussion for every book pagebound.co/users/incorp...

It’s actually really dangerous to let your cat study the arcane arts, because he might get really good at it and rise to the top of his order and unleash a powerful demon on the earth that can’t be returned from whence it came! And also maybe just summon more treats ✨

that time of year where I start to think that buying a Hobonichi journal for next year would probably cure me of all my ails

Findhelp.org is a free resource where you can search by ZIP code to find food pantries, emergency groceries, and support services near by. You don’t need to sign up or explain yourself-just enter your ZIP and get connected. And if you can give, now is the time. Every donation, every share matters.

one of the greatest joys in this life is to buy a piece of art from another queer

totally in over my head, but it's so magical watching the pattern start to take form 🦄🧶

apropos of the newest round of negative Spotify news lemme just say I moved to a combo of Apple Music/YouTube/physical media this year and am quite content. It took some time to remember to look up different kinds of audio in different places but I don't miss Spotify at all

finally some good news

Cast on this project yesterday and figured out German short rows for the first time! Hopefully this weekend I'll get to the colorwork 🥰 A while ago I got the advice to learn to knit with projects I'm excited about and it is absolutely paying off. I've learned so much in just a few months🧶 #knitsky

sometimes you can to buy yarn for a knitting project that is surely out of your skill level, as a treat

someone was very brave at the vet this morning and is now extremely grumpy

so snug, so toasty #knitsky 🧶

Finished my first knitting project yesterday, a Sophie Hood, and it's the coziest, loveliest thing I've ever made maybe? Knitting is pretty magical

returning at last to partake in the most ancient of acts, posting a cat photo on the feed

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Been thinking recently about how I was on a cross-country flight on inauguration day and someone in the row ahead of me was watching Garland's Civil War

I said at the start of this year I wanted to learn how to knit, and I'm doing that! I've started with a Sophie Hood and it's been exactly enough of a challenge. Turns out I love knitting??

there have been a lot of days in the past few years where I've felt crazy reading the news but the past 24 hours has been unlike anything else. fawning op eds about an objectively disgusting man?? what are we doing

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

No, you're not ineligible for the vaccine. Let me introduce you to the concept of lying.

Really excited to get home today and open the fabric I ordered for a pair of Lane pants from Syd Graham Patterns!! These look so cute and comfy
