While Tr**p wastes millions on a military parade in DC, we're mobilizing everywhere else to show that organized people power is stronger than his authoritarian aspirations. app.sosha.ai/s/JKaNApLs

Someday you want to hide from the world in a blanket fort and color, others you kinda want to grab a big bucket of popcorn and tune in. Not sure which it'll be today.

This executive order requires RealID to vote, specifically. Regular licenses won't work

Only 61.2% of license holders currently have RealID

If you're not one of them, get your ID NOW. NOW. TODAY. Because this will likely not be the last thing you'll need one for

(ii) For purposes of subsection (a) of this section, “documentary proof of United States citizenship” shall include a copy of:

(A) a United States passport;

(B) an identification document compliant with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-13, Div. B) that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States;

(C) an official military identification card that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States; or

(D) a valid Federal or State government-issued photo identification if such identification indicates that the applicant is a United States citizen or if such identification is otherwise accompanied by proof of United States citizenship.

#biscornu stitching is complete on this day of the equinox! Now all I need to do is stitch it together 😬 and hope it comes out well enough to gift at the retreat next weekend. Stay tuned!

DMC 3818 & 3820 on antique white 14 ct Aida.

Journey B @brainweasels.bsky.social · Mar 17

Baby's first #biscornu! Work in progress. This will be a gift exchange for a #crossstitch retreat at the end of the month. Hoping to manage to put it into something actually giftable despite not being able to sew ;)

I have some good tutorials I'm hoping will help!

I've pushed myself to make significant progress on my current #crossstitch WIP, since it's for an exchange gift at a retreat in about 2 weeks! About 85 stitches left on Daisy Chain.
