So I bought a Masterclass earlier this month regarding how to move abroad from a community called She Hit Refresh. For research. Totally just for research.

Would anyone else like the Masterclass materials? For research?

I forgot to add, I bought the silicone leather from a site called Fabric Funhouse.

ThisIsDee @thisisdee273.bsky.social · 1d

I'm using silicone leather, which doesn't have any stretch to it. Instead of using 1.5cm for the stretch allowance, I used 5cm for the trank (main glove body). I also use polyester thread instead of waxed thread since I saw that recommended on sewing sites.

“If U.S. citizens can be arrested under these operations is alarming enough, but the fact that the information is then deleted from public view is even more worrisome,” said Florida Immigrant Coalition’s Tessa Petit. “Facts are being hidden from Floridians, and we deserve to know why.”

Decided to get a late birthday gift for myself, looking forward to it.

(Quick note: the heavy orange tint is to help me with eye strain, it's a big migraine trigger for me)
#stillwakesthedeep #thechineseroom

The title screen for the horror game "Still Wakes the Deep". The screen shows an oil rig partially concealed in fog with roaring ocean waters underneath.

The heavy orange tint is not part of the game, I am using a heavy night filter to help with eye strain (big migraine trigger for me).

I decided to make a pair of gloves for myself, made them bigger than the Papa IV draft since those were kind of tight. Second picture is a size comparison.
#sewing

Parts for a pair of gloves cut out from silicone leather. The parts consists of the glove body (called the trank) for the left and right hands, the thumb pieces, and the fourchette (the pieces that go in-between the fingers).

A size comparison between the Papa IV gloves draft and the current draft. The Papa IV draft is sitting on top to show the extra room that was added to each finger.

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts

The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Have you heard of tactical frivolity?

It’s one of my favorite forms of protest.

Tactical frivolity is what happens when you use humor, costumes, and joy to make power look ridiculous. 🪩🐔🐸

I was going to go to the #NoKings protest tomorrow... until I got an "Engine Power is Reduced" error on the car last night. The auto place doesn't want me driving it until they have a look at it. 😞

I made up a new sign too. 😞

For the first time in more than a decade, the number of states with rates of obesity of 35% or more has dropped.

But cuts to federal staff and programs that address chronic disease could endanger that progress, according to a new report released Thursday. https://to.pbs.org/46XkPow

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.

A musician, Oriana Korol, was peacefully playing clarinet with her protest band outside ICE facilities in Portland, OR.

When the band started playing “Ghostbusters,” ICE thugs suddenly poured outside, slammed her into the mud, arrested her and took her to a jail 9 miles away in Vancouver, WA.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

I WON A GIFT CARD
#a24

The front to a scratch-off game sent by A24 through their AAA24 membership. The description says to scratch off all 9 spots, with 3 in a row needed to win a prize.

The first row has the picture of an upside-down Statue of Liberty, a frog, and a wrestling belt. The second row has three glasses of milk. The third row has a horse, an upside-down Statue of Liberty, and a frog.

The back of the scratch-off game, indicating the symbols needed to win a prize. Three frogs lands you a $5 gift card; three milk glasses lands you a $10 gift card; three upside-down Statues of Liberty lands you a $24 gift card; three wrestling belts lands you the Grand Prize.
