I'm a textile artisan and make all sorts of things, but by far my favourite projects to make are fancy corsets

18th century style stays covered in floral ribbon embroidery and silk painting to look like a wearable waterlily pond

white 18th century inspired stays with floral ribbon embroidery, beadwork and goldwork along the top edge

Fuck it, kui keegi küsib, siis laste mittesaamine on tegelt üks vorm üldstreigist, kus no tra ei saa rohkem töölisi ja pensionisamba ülalhoidjaid enne kui te seda kuradi jama korda ei tee

(rekordilist ebavõrdsust, ebakindlust tuleviku suhtes, sitapeade meeste võidukäiku ja paska elukeskkonda)

Some people just seem to want to eliminate all potential sources of discomfort, no matter how small or innocuous, from their lives. Fiction allows you to model experiencing big emotions in a safe controlled setting, and I just don't think any good comes of avoiding that to this degree

Boze the Library Owl @sketchesbyboze.bsky.social · Jul 29

A key point in Fahrenheit 451 is that books were banned because they made people depressed and uncomfortable. The novel's protagonist, Montag, is taken into custody after he reads a poem that makes a woman cry because she realizes the emptiness of her life.

[quoting a tweet from isabelunraveled in which she rails against depressing books that get branded as “great writing”]

I recently learned about cabbageware. Here’s a WIP of my take on it. It’s a fermentation jar!

My new collection of tea bag bookmarks is now available on Ko-fi! 🌿🫖

Bookmarks made out of fabric, in the shape of tea bags. There is embroidery on them: a sunflower, a bunny and pansies.

Stop using AI.

Yes, even just for fun.

AI is built on STOLEN images and text.

That’s right: by using it, you’re stealing from your friends. There is NOT ethical generative AI.

Bonus bullshit: it is HORRENOUS for the environment.

(Yes, even the cutesy profile photo cartoon things.)

#Otter cub #drawing
This is a saved cub that was taken to UK Wild Otter Trust for rehabilitation in 2025.
Title: Little Hughie

This is a colored pencil drawing of an otter cub named Hughie on a white background. The cub is leaning to a higher edge (that is covered with a white blanket) with its front paws and he is looking curiously to the viewer, probably looking for love and care.

Being chronically ill is not lazy.

Resting when your body needs it is not lazy.

Saying “no” is not lazy.

Taking care of yourself is not lazy.

Ableism teaches us to guilt ourselves for respecting our body & its limits. Change the narrative.

Taking care of yourself is powerful.

Stuff like this is perfect because it shows how utterly devoid of creativity genAI evangelists are.

Great you recreated a photo that already exists in a drawing style that only has currency because of who you're stealing it from giving the world something with absolutely no value or meaning.
