the poor foster dog is terrified of the coffee grinder. i feel the need to explain. “these are the beans you have to drink when you are a person,” i say. “sometimes things are very very bad. but then the beans happen and it is good.” i can tell she understands

Sometimes in this fast-moving and complex modern world, it’s hard to know what’s right and what’s wrong. But here’s a handy rule of thumb: If you are ever on one side of an issue, and Sesame Street is on the other, YOU’RE the bad guy.

if there's one thing Evangelical Christians know it's that having the state execute a beloved dissident always stops that dissident's message from spreading so yeah seeking the death penalty for Luigi Mangione seems smart

Stickler #665 woven lace. my weft yarn was inspired by the colour of alder bark in winter. It's washing out the green more than enhancing it, and I don't think relaxed warp floats will save it. #handdyedyarn #weaving #inspiredbytheforest #stricklerincolor

My ritual powerdrone band, Thrums, has a gig next Saturday, for the Spring Equinox. We are doing a piece combining lace pattern weaving, drumming to the lace pattern, algorithmic noise and video. It will be drum and lace. I am weaving Strickler pattern 665.

These pants are probably 10 years old, and I have mended them a few different ways. My current mends are leftover weaving yarn on my darning loom. It isn't the fastest mend, but so satisfying. #mendingmarch #darning #visiblemending

All the colours in this tweed have me dreaming of more Canadian mills, and more dyed in the wool Canadian wool.

Gifted Harris Tweed wool, reclaimed from an old sweater. Plaited twill. I am adoring the texture.
