Embroidery journal history/FAQ

My embroidery journal started out as a personal thing that I shared on locked social media. But since moving here to Bluesky, where locked isn’t an option, I’ve had a lot of new people seeing the journal and I thought a thread on it might be helpful.

Pope Leo XIV: "I often wonder, even though the teaching of Sacred Scripture is so clear about the poor, why many people continue to think that they can safely disregard the poor."

I support free speech, but I also think Bluesky should ban anyone that says eating the lower half of a mermaid is not cannibalism

I don’t care if genetically it’s fish flesh not human, in my book it still counts as cannibalism and I expect this platform to uphold that fact

so, like, i know it’s trite and cliche to point out, but the NYT printed hundreds of stories about clinton’s email security and she wasn’t even president

isn’t truth social just a defederated mastadon instance?

Underrated part of this story is that official USG business is done by Truth Social DM. It almost makes you miss the good old days of the PC small group Signal Chat.

Donald Trump is calling for the jailing of his political opponents in Chicago. His DOJ lackeys have already indicted a NJ Congresswoman for conducting ICE facility oversight and James Comey. John Bolton's house was raided.

We must treat these latest threats seriously and all stand up against them.

Word game telling me cylon isn’t a word. Excuuuuuuuse me, but if I just live in a dystopian state with AI threats around every corner, I damn well better be able to use cylon as a word.

Meanwhile, the second Trump announces that he’s bringing back the “real” church and calling it “American Traditional Christianity,” or some other slop, Barron will trip over his robes trying to run so fast to be at the front of the line for it.

Wonder if DHS has read that whole Psalm? Wonder if their reading comprehension is strong enough to know who they are in this lamentation?

Psalm 28 3-5

3 Do not drag me away with the wicked,
with those who do evil,
who speak cordially with their neighbors
but harbor malice in their hearts.
4 Repay them for their deeds
and for their evil work;
repay them for what their hands have done
and bring back on them what they deserve.
5 Because they have no regard for the deeds of the Lord
and what his hands have done,
he will tear them down
and never build them up again.

Gonna be real funny* seeing the same sports dudes that spent all day today declaring the downfall of the 4-1 Bills explain why, actually, the 2-3 Chiefs are still the best team in the whole league.

*and by funny I mean tedious
