More Rapunzel! @thestarry-knight.bsky.social #rapunzel #tangled #disney #cosplaymaker

For the first time ever(!!) I’m completely free! 💖 📸 @starryknight.photos #cosplay #cosplaymaker #disney #tangled #rapunzel

Honestly, because of all the misinformation we see spreading every single day of the year, April Fools has lost all meaning.

Brain is going too fast and I have way too many builds I want to make and also compete with this year

For those considering a run for local office and (understandably) concerned with the threat of political violence, @runforsomething.net factors that into its spectrum of candidate support. Also, it's super fucked up that THAT is an issue to run for school board.

For most folks, democracy is local. So get out and run for office. The people are demanding change. Don’t just wonder when that change will happen. Be that change.

This subject is important to me because I know what it is like to be BROKE. Cosplay can be stupid expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. In general, the more complicated the build the more $. There are ways to cosplay on a budget and I am happy to share my tips! #cosplaymakers #cosplaybudget #cosplay

these are the worst people and deserve worse fates than can be comfortably imagined

Run for something!

This is where we are now: An elementary school at Fort Campbell has removed all books from its library that so much as *allude* to slavery or the civil rights movement. The wholesale erasure of history in real time.

A new North Dakota bill would require stores to pull any book with any "material harmful to minors" from the shelves. For those in the cheap seats, that effectively means ANY mention of sex, sexuality or gender. A bookseller could be arrested for displaying 1984. www.inforum.com/opinion/colu...

My partner did a little michiru try on. Hopefully getting pics tomorrow or Wednesday cause this weekend was crazy and our cat was hospitalized at the vet

Made the rookie mistake of wearing a ring while the barometric pressure was changing in Minnesota the last few days which caused flareups for me and had a VERY scary moment at work when it wouldn’t come off and was messing with my circulation. Had to do the thread trick to get it off.

REPEAT AFTER ME: NOBODY VOTED FOR ELON MUSK PASS IT ON.

Finished the skirt at work this morning! All that’s left is styling our wigs :)

🚨🚨🚨 The tuberculosis outbreak has expanded from Kansas to Ohio.

🎯

My partner and I are doing haruka and michiru’s school outfits (sans blazer) for my valentines collab and I finished some pieces at work today. All that’s left is to sew up the skirt and style the wigs (light styling they’re pretty good already) We’ll hopefully be getting out for pics this weekend!

Kicking off #28DaysofBlackCosplay with a new starter pack - a growing list of Black Cosplayers to follow if you aren’t already. Not everyone is here - so is you’d like to be added let me know. And I will add a part 2 and more once I hit capacity. go.bsky.app/PBrCZsc

Just to help some people stress less, Minnesota has a law on the books that, effective January 1, 2025, every health insurance plan has to cover gender affirming care even if the federal government doesn’t

Please wear a mask when you can. Even if you don't always, even if it's not the best mask, even if you didn't this morning and you'd feel silly if you did now... any amount of masking is better than none. Nobody is perfect, we're all doing our best, please mask and protect yourself and everyone ❤️

Waistband is done!

If you are a federal worker being offered a buyout, I would advise against taking it. Of course, this is a personal decision for everyone and it’s your choice. But these offers are a rush job. The legality is questionable and this admin does not keep to its word. They aren’t firing for a reason.

The bag and casings are done! Now I just have to finish the waistband, put the hoops in and attach everything and it’s finished!! Then on to the rest of the dress

It’s the 28th Anniversary of FFVII 📸 @shaynamakphotography 📸 @thestarry-knight.bsky.social Aerith💐: @bulbacos.bsky.social #finalfantasyvii #aerith #tifa #cosplay #cosplaymaker

One step forward one step back with Ursula. Got one of the casings done and fully on the hoop and sewn shut but I messed up the sewing on the other casing and had to recut it out. And decided to completely redo the bag, so I took the old ribbon/hoop casings off and now have to wait to do more

Tubing and wire are here so now I can finish my hoops

Cut out one of the hoop casings, reusing the old folded waistband from the first attempt as a second casing once I sew it down a little thinner. Reusing as much of the fabric/materials from the first attempt as possible #cosplay

START MASKING UP AGAIN‼️‼️ So many people are getting sick‼️‼️‼️

Anyhow, I try to find small, concrete things to do so I can avoid panicking, so right now, that small thing is buying cookies from transgender Girl Scouts. As a bonus, I will also have cookies.

Hosting a Valentine’s Day #cosplay collab over on Instagram! Let me know if you want to join! It’s all virtual and any fandom is allowed!

Please understand something. The Trump administration knows if courts enforce the law this anti-trans executive order is dead on arrival. They want you to obey in advance, which will make courts less likely to enforce the law.

Nearly 100k offices are on the ballot this year - most of them before July. You may be able to canvas for a candidate near you sometime in the next few months 👀👀

Do not let a single Republican seat go uncontested. There are resources available to you. We change the narrative by fighting on all fronts.

There is so much work to do but what if you got really deep into the goings on of your public library or the school board or public feedback to city projects happening in your neighborhood or did the funniest thing ever Anyway I would like to shout out @runforsomething.bsky.social

For the love of God, if I see one more ',grow your own food' hot take. Sure, for occasional fresh herbs or a few veggies. Nobody is growing to their entire caloric intake in an apartment or on a balcony.

We need all us mid-level leaders to step up. And the old guard to support us!

The nation is feeling what Texans have endured for decades: blocked access to Medicaid, broken systems, and Republican neglect. Americans should have access to high quality healthcare. This isn’t red vs. blue, it’s right vs. wrong.

Tubing and wire are being delivered today/tomorrow plus the twill tape that I need to make the connections between hoops. Also finished the necklace last week!

Two hoops done plus the one still in the bottom. One more to go but I’m out of tubing and wire.

Did the scary part. This will become the bag and bottom two hoops of the cage

Overhauling Ursula’s hoop skirt cause I didn’t really do it right. Stressed af about fucking it up tho

I think I just want to say.... cosplayers wearing respirators would probably also like to be pulled aside for quality hall shots as often as non-masking cosplayers. Or are we only good to you as a representation of conventional health and beauty? A mask says, "I care," not, "leave me alone."

Feeling super isolated from my local cosplay community since I’ve been missing events because of chronic illness stuff and my next big con isn’t till July and aaah :(

Trying to decide if I want to actually post cosplay photos over here or what. Also I keep forgetting to take progress pictures for the things I’m working on

You literally cannot grow coffee in most of America
