Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

"I don't want my tax dollars to..." baby I'm gonna stop you there. You make $40k a year. Your tax dollars ain't doing shit. Take all that energy and unionize your workplace and fight for a fair wage.

I wonder if using hat bukram as an interfacing would have been enough, or if you would have still needed the wire. May have to try myself at some point

I would love it if you could share a video of mine with a friend that may enjoy it. You don’t have to subscribe if you don’t want to and neither do they.

YouTube cares more about length of viewership and if you comment/like the video halfway or at the end.

Thank you!

Here there be the chaos.... Welcome to a chaotic corner of the internet. Filled with movies, patterns, sewing and gadgets all with a chaotically vintage twist. You should stick around for a while, it...

2. They need to listen to consumers, we don’t want more boring basics.
Give us DETAILS!

3. STOP ADDING IN CRAP LOADS OF EASE!! It does not make it easier to sew, in fact, it makes it harder.

4. And to consumers: patterns were never supposed to be $1.99 all the time. Please be ready to pay.

While I am very happy that Simplicity will keep operating, I feel like a few reminders are necessary:

1. They need to payout ALL the designers the income they are owed from the time of filing Bankruptcy until now.

Sewing Patterns Rise from DGA Bankruptcy Ashes - Craft Industry Alliance

The “Big 4” sewing patterns are saved. Simplicity, McCall’s, Vogue & Butterick get new life under Rubelmann Capital.

Did you know?

That in some 1960’s doll and toy sewing patterns the company (Simplicity, in this case) would provide an extra tissue piece that translated common sewing words into Spanish and French?

I miss those kind of special touches that companies used to provide for FREE!

If you care so little about this planet and its people to use AI to make trash video of a certain YouTuber being “gay” and starting his own make up brand for views…

You are the problem.

The Trump administration plans to mint a $1 coin featuring Trump’s image, yet another illegal move. This violates the 1866 law, which states that only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency.

I’m down for this.

The image is an X post by RB (@rbisrb
) from 1 day ago, with the caption "Absolutely..." The post includes a meme featuring a photo of several men in suits, with text overlay stating: "Instead of 'billionaires' can we go back to calling them 'robber barons'?" The individuals in the photo appear to be prominent figures, though they are not specifically identified.

No corruption here, folks! Totally normal stuff the deputy director of the CIA(Michael Ellis) just demoted the acting general counsel and decided to make himself the top lawyer while still being the No. 2 in charge.

I wish that my channel about making vintage clothes could garner 1/1,000,000 of the attention that Swifties pay attention to the details of everything Taylor does.

Want to help me make it happen?

I know that America is not a Christian nation because if it were, we’d welcome immigrants, there’d be a job of foot washer at the boarder, Citizens United wouldn’t exist, the rich would be chased, the hungry would be fed, the homeless housed. Truth would be spoken to power. The last would be first.

The US is crumbling but I find solice in making things. But speaking practically I wanted to make the MOST of this very expensive fabric I own. So I did a combo project and you can help me by watching this all the way thru. To tell the algorithm to send it to more folks.

Republicans control every branch in Washington.

Now, Trump is openly giddy about using the shutdown to slash and burn federal resources that working Americans count on.

His shutdown, and firings, will hurt people in every part of this country.

Something about hearing civilians on the Global Sumud Flotilla tell the IOF they don't recognize them as a legal authority and to stand the fuck down sends chills down my spine. These people are braver than any of the world powers.

Congress has no choice but to impeach Trump.

A federal court ruled his deployment of troops into LA violated Posse Comitatus Act and was illegal.

He’s ignoring that and ordering troops into Portland against US Citizens on US soil.

Military officers need to stand down. The ruling is clear.
