Hello Bluesky! I am a recovering academic whose ADHD hyperfixation is picking up new historical fiber arts. When I'm not stitching, I'm writing or playing video games.

Woman in early 17th century dress (green wool kirtle, orange linen coat with brown lace, apron, neck ruff, embroidered linen cap) holding a basket and walking through a winter landscape. Wool Jacobean crewelwork embroidery of plant in blue and brown. Fans and spiders bookmark in orange and white torchon lace.

If you know basic kabbalah it's actually not too hard to make a golem out of a labubu. Don't recommend it though. They have a pre-existing body-dharma. As soon as they wake they run straight for the sea. V hard to counter. Lost the first one. No idea what it's doing out there. Moved like lightning.

I was going to say, "I'd rather put a gun in my mouth," being Simon's "safe for public radio" response is hilarious. If it were social media, he'd have included three expletives and an insult. 😂

We should all tell our stories like this...mine is "the time I totally forgot about an essay and cranked out a paper on Deleuze & Guattari's Anti-Oedipus in two hours and ended up winning an award for it"

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.
wrote 20 pages on Faulkner's The Bear four hours before final papers were due on trucker pills and coffee and cigarettes and got an A, fuck you. You people couldn't hang with real slackers. finn wokeupchic • 4d It's fuck Al till your homework due in 25 minutes

I took a nap before hand instead of cancelling my haircut appointment, and I made myself eat real food for breakfast and lunch. Is that enough self care? Can I go back to being a goblin?

Johnson: "He has defunded our education system. He has defunded our transportation system. He's firing black women across this country. He's defunding our healthcare system. This president is absolutely out of control... Chicago is going to stand firm in protecting humanity."

That's kind of where I'm at, making peace with my body. If I can be obese, with the same amount of physical activity and calories as someone else who's not obese, how is that a moral failing? Why should I be expected by society to "work harder" because of the body I happen to have?

September 1794. Two woman sit on a park bench surrounded by verdant nature. One wears a white high-waisted gown accessorized with pink gloves and ribbons. She reads a book. The other has her hands clasped, one elbow resting cockily on the back of the park bench, as she considers the viewer. Over her high-waisted white gown (sensing a theme yet?) she wears a cut-away gown of red and white striped fabric. She has accessorized with gloves and a modesty scarf, what looks like a yellow ribbon around her waist, and a hat perched jauntily atop her curls, with a purple bow and towering ostrich plume.

A page from August 1794. Despite the summer sun, the woman on the left wears an all-black high-waisted gown with black gloves. She has a white modesty scarf at her bosom, and a black and white striped turban containing her curls, accented with a large ostrich plume. The woman next to her wears a white high-waisted gown decorated with black ribbons at the neck and waist. She has blue elbow-length gloves, and a white, wide-brimmed bonnet trimmed in black ribbon and black ostrich plumes.

Every single one of the pages in this fashion magazine makes me want to scream because I want to be that bitch.
