I apparently never did the embroidery muzzle piece for the 3rd plush... Gosh trying to do these with a multi-day headache is still giving me problems later.

A lot of people don’t realize the dust bowl wasn’t a natural phenomenon. It happened when agrobusiness interests dramatically transformed the plains without regard for drought, and created vicious dust storms that choked whole families to death. That’s what I think of when I read about data centers.

I love Irasutoya! I use them all the time for my articles. Way better than slopAI.

I got the 2 plushies done to the point i wanted so excited about that. Gotta work on the next one- i think this one will feel less of a drag since I'm doing one and not 2 at a time. Have a week to do it and spend next weekend finishing whatever I need to.

Given the lack of details provided by Taylor Farms thus far, Consumer Reports' food safety experts are advising folks in the 27 states implicated by the recall to discard ALL iceberg lettuce until we know more about where the parasite-linked products ended up www.consumerreports.org/health/food-...

Def need to consider my wrist more for these sewing deadlines x.x

Want to avoid explosive diarrhea? Pass it on

My brain is not clear enough to handle sewing this morning

I want people to understand the full impact of the devastation that First Nations in Canada are facing. It's NOT just that people and wildlife are losing their homes...it's the history that is being lost for generations to come.

*ahem* HERE IS THE GAY SHAPED BOOK COVER I WAS HINTING AT! 🤭 anyone ask for a gay Romeo & Juliet retelling with vampires???? 29.09.2026

Not the best mirror pics but my samples arrived today :^) I'm really happy with them, I hope I can finish the designs after the next round of sampling

We urgently need enforced disclosure of AI usage in TV shows & other media. These AI models use stolen work to displace human labour. It is reasonable to demand disclosures that let you avoid media made with them. variety.com/2026/biz/new...

She’d take you to get your nails done and tell you to dump your boyfriend for having a small dick. To be fair, I’m pretty sure actual Gackt would also do these things.

So stressed about money. Any interest in some small original works? Drawings of sexy things or dinosaurs or something? I have one cover I'm getting paid almost nothing for, no other gigs, and I don't think I'm ever gonna get the money I'm owed from [redacted] so idk what to do. Will draw for food!!

Auction ends Friday 17th, 12pm EST. 🙏

Flock's platform is far more powerful and invasive than they and police pretend when they are at town halls talking to the public. You just need to look at what it's actually used for and how they teach cops to use it to see that: www.404media.co/how-cops-use...

We'll keep on pointing at this comic by @skutchdraws.bsky.social and @hbomberguy.bsky.social until it's embarrassing for tech bros to call you a luddite for hating AI! More of Failure to Launch in the link bsky.app/profile/iron...

which is bad not just because these prominent voices are ignoring substack's lack of ethics in exchange for cash, but because as @anildash.com so deftly put it a few years back, their legitimacy is being exploited to cross-promote attacks on the vulnerable. www.anildash.com/2024/11/19/d...

There's storms coming in in a few days for like a week and the headache is settling in. I just had a few days without a headache after the 4-day long one... whhyyyyyyy

minor bsky tip for readability if you want nested replies/trees: Settings > Content and Media > Thread Preferences > Tree View video instructions in replies mine was off by default and i much prefer nested comments

...... i didnt do the mirror piece to one of my embroidery pieces.... sigh

If anyone is getting smacked with this - just use deer.social or another alternate client. Bsky is just an AT Protocol Client, and your Bsky account is an AT Protocol account - you can use your same Bsky account thru another AT Protocol Client, no migration or loss necessary. Could not be easier.

The new scissors cut well! They are a bit heavy and stiff, and I can tell will hurt my hand with extensive use, however i can otherwise cut the fabric and not not be driven batty from that. Got to play catch up cutting everything out, but i will get there

So I do fully think this is about Sony’s move away from physical media and is meant to drive more fans to streaming services. I also think it’s going to drive more fans to piracy and secondhand markets, and is a miscalculation of the Gen Z and Gen Alpha desire for physical media.

What lololol

I ordered something off Amazon (for delivery speed ToT) that should at least get my thru this project 🤞 but still looking for recommendations for cutting minky/faux fur

THE SCOTTISH BOY has now finally been republished by Wilton Square/Eye Books, and if you want a queer action thriller that can best be described as “Heated Chivalry” you should buy it. bookshop.org/a/23067/9781... There’s also a great audiobook & thousands of amazon and goodreads reviews

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

This is the report Gender Criticals don't want you to see and they want to censor with legal threats. It also proves how anti feminist the gender critical movement is since a good portion of the report documents anti abortion groups tied to far right Christian fundamentalists.

I think i need new/better scissors for this fabric if im going to keep my sanity. 😭😭😭 Minky plush makera, what scissors do you use? ✂️

First redone pad looks better this time. 👌 I'll be happy if I can get the 3rd plushie stuff done today and I can work out getting back on schedule with tracing and cutting later this week. Goal is to be able start sewing this weekend and like, I have the heads assembled.

Kids need/deserve traumatic films. Films that show death or lasting consequences that aren't resolved almost instantly. Fear, anger, grief and frustration should be part of kids movies. Kids arent stupid, they feel big emotions just like adults, they deserve to see those experiences reflected back.

Covid booster kicking my butt~ I just want to get the embroidery for 3 plushies done, but in the very last piece for the 2nd one something went wrong and i need to redo it now and I dont think I got the stamina to figure it out right now. Try again tomorrow

also seriously, no matter how much you are posting i promise you someone has not heard of your book / movie / tv show / comic etc

FYI, this is malware. If you see this, don’t do this

"Time to say goodbye to my old self…to turn and face the truth…not to hide from it." I watched Revolutionary Girl Utena when I was wee and in the closet, and man, this helped spark the questions I needed to break free from the egg of my world. 6w6 <3 I'll always be thankful for Utena and Anthy. 🌹🥚🌹

I shouldn’t have to enter a life-ruining amount of easily hackable personal information to visit a website, and neither should anyone else of ANY age.

I know im goin on about this a lot but please contact your senators about opposing KOSA and the KIDS Act. Please make friends and family aware of how this will effect them and their privacy.

ok prob final addition to this thread, age restriction is going to continue being an issue and while we can temporary push it away by jumping through hoops and workarounds, the best solution will be to put pressure on lawmakers to push back on these kinds of laws and organize together to fight back

Thought about getting a new game for my trip but got a ton of books to read instead. I've been wanting to read her works for a while but hadn't gotten around to it yet, so this ws a timely no trainer purchase. www.humblebundle.com/books/tanith...
