I'm here for joy, not doom, not politics.
Reader, editor, quilter, hermit, ignores most dms (but not from Maggie because she has Linus stickers). If you complain about entire generations of humans, I will block you.

I’m quite certain that he’s no more fit to command a whale-ship than a St. Jago monkey. In fact, tell him from me he’s a baboon.

If you're keeping score at home, please sit down (so you don't bonk your head if you faint from the shock of it all).

The parcel finally arrived.
I put the baby quilt in the mail Tuesday. It made it from a mountain in WA to mid-coast Maine TODAY. (they love it 🥰)

My parcel from Wisconsin still isn't here, 9 days later.

Every time I see the Stolen Neighbors quilt it makes me cry.

Let's create a country where quilters quilt to keep people warm and share beauty and love - and not because we have to protest the actions of our own government.

Elections are coming. Vote like your life depends on it.

If I ran a bar full of people & followed @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social then I'd make an announcement btwn songs the band is playing & let people know why a server is walking around like it's Halloween with a treat bowl for people to put money in & blast a QR code to donate.

We can do things together.

This is the Stolen Neighbors Quilt. Each of the 11,000 squares represents a person taken by ICE in Minnesota.

$50 down! Two hours left to raise another $150, which will force us to add $200 in matching funds, and go to help keep a disabled grandma and 2-y/o grandson housed!
All right, local needs early tonight, for a reason.

Regina is a disabled grandma raising her 2-y/o grandson. She is $880 short on her September rent [and she should be spending this week raising October's not worrying about eviction].

All right, we have 3.5 hours to do this.

Make us donate $200 in matching funds, and get a disabled grandma almost halfway to her rent goal:

The Human Mind is a programmable super computer.

In the righteous battle for the liberation of Humankind, your ultimately duty is to take control of your own mind.

And this social, cultural phenominon of SO many people repeating that they can't help themselves, or master their own brains...

Easier to do when you have clear steps for action.

My Rage Against the Machine/Les Mis mashup is complete. This is my interpretation of the quilt guild’s summer challenge “quilt with your interpretation and/or feelings towards our current ‘democracy’” all hand stitched.

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd.

Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves.

Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

update: 11 days. An estimated 11 days to get a small parcel from WI to WA. That's a sad average of about 180 miles per day. Have we gone back to using ponies?

My personal rule is, always vote. Pick the least worst candidate. Pick the best referendum answer. The worst people don’t want you to vote. Vote
I keep meeting smart informed Albertans who tell me they do not intend to vote, because they don’t want to legitimize the process, or because they know the premier is not bound by the results. But what if making us give up on voting is the whole point? My argument to vote - no matter the absurdity.
In this week’s opinion column, Senator Paula Simons writes about anti-separation Albertans who genuinely believe the best form of protest is to boycott the referendum. While she understands their motives, she warns that staying home will backfire. #ableg #canpoli forwardweekly.ca/simons-cant-...

Does anyone have a rec or link for a good trans pride embroidered patch? Preferably one from a queer artist. I want one for my denim jacket :3
