Friends, this podcast is excellent. I started with the most recent one then listened from the beginning. If you are in the sewing world you will recognize these people! I'm thrilled they included their teen because we need the voices of the young now. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Risk assessment failures of the privileged who don’t want to accept any risk using their social capital to eek out the cultural power to externalize their risk aversion to poorer people is kind of the whole ball of wax. Fix that maybe.

Okay, that’s enough internet for today.

Sign of the day…

Drop some BUNNIES 🐇🖤🐰

Hi, America.

“biological sex” should refer only to having sex in a lab, knocking over microscopes and shit, contaminating every surface while scientists watch you and take notes

I feel like evidence suggests that this is not a party looking for popular support but looking to remain elected without that support and to permanently maintain undemocratic minority control so that they can get rich.

I sat down six months ago and made a list of my core people. The people who will answer when I call. The people who can smile when I’m happy. Then, I messaged them saying they are in my inner circle. I think knowing your team is about to be very important.

There is so much to pay attention to, I have to take breaks often with friends. Recently this has included 3 hour long Bollywood movies and I couldn't be happier. Drop what you are doing and watch the roller coaster pageant that is 🔥Om Shanti Om🔥 (it's on Netflix & the youtubes)

Two pieces for my upcoming teen class - we'll be exploring fabric painting & stamping, block printing & embroidery through the lenses of history and fashion. My powerpoint game is strong!

I have been a teacher since 2005 and definitely go through waves of burnout with it. BUT I'm so angry about *all this* that I'm diving in again. My free teen class starts 4/15 and is full. My paid adult class is listed below, info link in comments. I'm working on a free monthly makers meetup too...

Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!? Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.

Been up to my same bullshit I guess: making hundreds of posters to remind and be reminded… Got any teachers unions out there who’d like a stack? #riso #risograph

This ended up making over $105,000 with all the extra donations. I'm still in awe of my crafty pirate friends ♥️ #OFMDcraftfair

Shaerie 'Furiously Embroidering Seditious Muslin' Mead

Daily reminder 🙌

Arming myself for the day. Bracelets as talismans. Find yourself spaces where beautiful people give you beautiful things from the joy in their hearts.

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

fwiw I'm starting to research and write a class called 'Fashion as Resistance: Pockets and Sedition' and will be pitching it to the ArtsCenter and OCAC's Studio Be program for youths and young adults. Block printing, stencils, hand embroidery - and a bit of anarchist history.

• Feel free to JOIN ME in the economic blackout Friday. • Feel free to IGNORE me and my one-person business. • HEY NAYSAYERS: small steps are still steps. Solidarity feels good and leads to wanting MORE. This stupid autocracy is making me into a peppy optimist, it's embarrassing. #economicblackout

It's up to $52,518 now. Closing March 1st! And today at 2pm EST they are dropping a donation from S2 costumière extraordinaire Gypsy Taylor 😱😵

The OFMD Craft Fair has raised $46,000+ (so far!) for the Campaign for Southern Equality and I'm constantly amazed by both my fandom's feral qualities and our creativity. A HUGE thank you to showrunner @david-jenkins.bsky.social for donating some insane swag! #OFMD www.32auctions.com/ofmdcraftfai...

Hey DOGE, this is what I did last week: I uncovered that NASA gave you access to confidential data. NASA's response to our letter is disturbing and I will do everything in my power as Ranking Member of the Space Subcommittee to combat these illegal actions. www.cnn.com/2025/02/21/s...

This poor kid and his life-long love of snow while living in CA and NC 🙃 and we got to see fellow rockers at Cat's Cradle this weekend for the School of Rock showcase. Impressive Siouxsie cover!

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

First music I ever bought myself was a cassette 😂 Being an Antperson at a very young age introduced me to A LOT of the things that formed me as a human. Thank you sir for being hella weird right out of the gate! #AdamAnt #DirkWearsWhiteSox

Can I be all four please

This seems healthy #MathSucks I swear I have nothing to do with passing along math trauma - I tried enrolling L in standard 6th grade math but his teacher said NOPE and put him in advanced. Sorry babe I tried.

Been taking a bit of a mental health break, went to see Rhys Darby's stand up show with fellow pirates and it was GLORIOUS. Rounding it out with three Monty Pythons and a Great British Baking Show. Lux is hyperventilating with laughter.

Here we are playing Goo Goo Muck in 1981 . San Francisco at On Broadway. Target Video. The Gun Club and Tav Falco's Panther Burns were on the bill as well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=g17I...

I'm brand new to Bluesky, still learning how it all works. I'm a fiber artist, usually working with upcycled fabric scraps. I've been stitching my feelings lately, and this is my latest embroidery project - Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage collection. It's inspired by the 1930's Sunbonnet Sue designs.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

just over here photoshopping muppets onto the cover of instyle magazine: thread

Some of you may know that I have a pirate alter-ego. But you might not know that I credit the #OFMD fandom with jump-starting my creativity in a way nothing else has for at least a decade. Here's my work for the #YouWearFineFramesWell project, and you can see the finished piece through the link 🖤⚔️🖤

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

The Indigenous People of North America have decided to go back to calling the Gulf of Mexico, “Chalchiuhtlicueyecatl”. It is what the Nahuatl People originally called it as it is the domain of the goddess Chalchiuhtlicue, who is assoc w/water bodies, including the Gulf of Mexico.

Trans rights are human rights.

I adore this woman. One of the few who is getting shit done.

Erasing our history won't erase us. Transgender people have always been here — and we always will be.

🚨An open letter to the Democrats. 🚨 Get off your fucking letter writing asses and do something, anything that is not the norm. Every fucking one of you is still acting like the kid in HS that spent his time with model Gov or junior UN haveing debates full of platitudes and quips to win your point.

It's cold out there today, keep warm kittens!

Lux is reading 'Warriors' out loud to the cats, possibly inciting them to rebellion. The apple does not fall far.

Woods-walking on library day. Wish it was 65 and sunny all the time! And so grateful for this amazing human who really keeps me on my toes.

Morning zen

LA fam!
