Now that I'm Funemployed™, I've designated Mondays as "Make Something!" day. I spent all day tracking down copy/links (and making a linktree) so I could design a flyer for my local gaming group, so that counts even though it was a chore and a half.

Every now and then I think about how overwhelmingly foundational gamergate was to the hellscape which we now inhabit and I feel so fucking tired

The arts are the front line of the resistance to fascism. It is not an accident that AI is being deployed by tech bros, who are overwhelmingly aligned with fascists, to discredit and devalue arts and artists.

Re: everybody getting got by an ai dog video: I want to talk about propaganda in general as well as ai in specific. We are awash in way too much stuff to pay deep attention to and that's absolutely by design.

My house numbers next to the front door have cracked. And I've never had any in the back on the alleyway. I would like to get two matching sets, and I'd like them to be interesting and made by an artist instead of just grabbing something from home depot. Open to Commission. Any artists do outdoor?

I'm gonna poke that cleavage:

I inherited a vintage cookie press and the recipe my grandma used (with her notes on alterations to the recipe) so maybe I'll do that this year!

This is actually so fucking stupid and I'm mad about it even though I have never really cared about the color of the year lol. Pantone I reject your "expertise" and turn to WGSN with that gorgeous teal.

Pantone: for real? Read the room.

Timeline cleanse: Pyaari, per usual, being dressed in her saris and bindis and jewelry by the Indian mom who originally claimed she never wanted the family to adopt a cat. youtube.com/shorts/pqWMB...

I'm making bracelets today!

Simultaneously relieved and dispirited to see other folks share my gut reaction to Pantone’s announcement.

As someone who's married to a lab tech who works for a transplant department, I cosign this message:

I have made. SO MANY. necklaces in the last week.

Last batch of dictionary pendants before I resupply, each one unique:

Snuggly girl:

Useful to note given the cries that AI is “inevitable” and “revolutionary” that maybe tech bros aren’t the best at understanding the future beyond their myopia. Meanwhile, bikes still in use and even transformative as more cities adopt true bike paths.

I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos by @miniminuteman.bsky.social lately and... 99% of all timhat pseudoarchaeology is just racism, huh? I mean, I knew that about Von Däniken thanks to a great course I took in college, but even Atlantis isn't free of Nazi nonsense!

Despite these necklaces being noticeably different sizes, they actually take roughly the same amount of labor to create:

I appreciate the anarchistic nature of Be Gay Do Crimes but I do think with my ADHD it would be a lot more beneficial for me if we had slogans like Be Gay Do Laundry

This is the first time I haven't worked holiday retail in six? seven? years. Dang. I salute all those who still labor in those trenches - and for those of y'all who don't, BE NICE TO SERVICE WORKERS. TIP EXTRA WELL WHEN YOU CAN.

My holiday gift to myself is a couple of bead boards (one for necklaces, one for bracelets). Yes, I've been doing without all this time lol

It took us a couple years, but we figured out it's easier to loop the lights/garland around our artificial christmas tree *as* we assembled it, rather than after it's all put together.

I increasingly think the pandemic is a gaping wound and generative AI is a Band-Aid People seem unable to think clearly due to trauma and lingering effects, but here's a shiny toy that will compensate

So I have 26 dictionary pendants I can list right now... But I don't have the cords/strings to hang them on. Do I wait to list them after I get the cords or should I list them without?

absolutely it also tells me that they have no respect for the skills of artists and designers, and that makes me have no respect for the speaker

what it looks like on a human ✨

One of my least favorite things about my ADHD:

Oh no I just saw a picture of the art supply suitcase go by so it must be time for my yearly psa: don't buy that. I've been given it many times in my life and it was usable once: in 1989. "But I don't know what to get my artist friends/talented cousins for the holidays!" I will help.

$70 away from funding 7 ebooks or 3 paperbacks SO CLOSE

Since it's food-sharing/holiday season, my tip for easy shareable treats: mini crescent rolls from a tube, stuffed with local preserves before you roll them up into little pockets.

Anybody who is like “Piracy is activism!”—trust me, supporting your local library is about 1000% more effective activism, and it’s still free for you and authors still get paid!

This reminds me of The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics, by @oliviawaite.com

Time for a new thread of new shinies! As usual, the shop can be found at www.etsy.com/shop/Lioness... Beginning on Thursday I will be shipping every two days, and then going to every day, so as to get people's shiny goodness to them as quickly as possible.

Close enough that my dad would point out filming locations when we were driving out and about:

The people spreading misinformation know exactly what they are doing. They don't care and they made sure that you won't care either. At least not until it's too late. White supremacy is a death cult and it isn't the only one. Hating your neighbors will kill them and you too.

First piece with these!
