I'm starting to see more and more 'representation isn't trendy anymore so we shouldn't include it' kind of arguments, and that both manages to miss the point of why people advocate for representation in the first place, as well as reveal a profoundly narrow and cynical worldview

Sunday sewing🧵 This will be a playmat for bean once ready. Been a while since I did appliqué work!

Also, we should be hecking grateful for how many styles of glasses are readily available these days. In the late 00's and early 10's? Narrow rectangles that sat a little too high on the nose for everyone

... I will neither confirm nor deny, though I will heavily imply, that my high school wardrobe outed me far before I knew I was bi and enby

Everyone tries to tell you apathy is cool, but the sooner you learn earnestness is strength not cringe and that all your quirks are what people will fall in love with, the sooner learn how to define your own happiness and find true friends who love youf for you

you have to be sincere and you have to get weird with it

A little sneak peek at the WIP fox from Tunic amigurumi I'm freestyling for bean 🦊 There's a little squeaky thingy in the tail, even!

It's just such a different mindset shining through; Iger sees the creatives at Pixar as assets with a specific culture that allows value creation; Catmull as collaborators and visionary professionals who thrive in an environment designed for them.

Chride Lassheikki ✨ @classheikki.bsky.social · Sep 23

Oh yeah I 100% knew going in what kind of mindset Iger has. But it's fascinating how someone in his position can talk about storytelling in such a distanced way, as 'brand value' and 'capitalizing on the fans' and giving them what they want

Chride Lassheikki ✨ @classheikki.bsky.social · Sep 23

If any narrative folks out there want to learn to speak executive, watch Bob Iger's Masterclass. I warn you, it's chilling, and also a very good way to shake off any last lingering fuzzy warm feelings around Disney / Marvel / Star Wars.

Read somewhere babies sleep well with white noise on. Not sure if true or not, but turns out Chride sleeps extremely deeply to waves crashing and a calming underwater heartbeat

I like to think my best trait is that I can look at another person and see potential for growth, for thriving, for self-realization.

I don't always get it right. But as a (former? or always?) teacher, I believe I have to see more value in encouraging growth than in maintaining the status quo.

Is this what a maternal instinct looks like when you remove the gendered part? Just pure care and appreciation for your community?

No wonder people in power try to diminish that. It's dangerous, because it makes an in impact on the world.

But instead I've been hustling gigs for friends, catching up with people I've lost touch with (and received and given a bunch of peer support), and offering helping hands with planning for community events again. I've been asking folks for help when needed. I've been checking in with people.

Pregnancy leave thoughts. I was expecting to spend a lot of time mindlessly scrolling on my phone, just watching short-form video of performative motherhood.

Well we did listen to the Hamilton soundtrack for a while during the earlier contractions :D

Finland - It's popular as cold cuts for sandwiches, as a leaner ham alternative. You can also find it as filees or mince (usually used as a chicken alternative this way) and seasonally as a roll for Christmas. But getting your hands on eg. turkey legs is trickier.

It's somewhat tradition over here in Finland to keep it a little bit secret until a name giving ceremony (or baptizing) at ~2 mos 🍼
We do have one in mind, and it's probably going to be that one! It works in Finnish, Swedish and English, and makes good nicknames (incl. enby ones)

Little bean decided to make his appearance yesterday morning! 🍼

Everything went well, and apart from needing a bit of extra food, he's doing alright (as am I and his dad too).

Also... he gets to share his Birthday with none other than Freddie Mercury 🩵
