Working on the border of my embroidery project, I’ve been using a practice called intuitive daily stitching, which basically means I’m making things up as I go day to day.

A fantastic list of nonfiction for 2026. My TBR runneth over. #amreading #booksky💙📚

Journalists aren’t supposed to report “both sides.” They are supposed to report the truth. DHS is not telling the truth. Stop reporting their lies.
