🌈 Even after the rainbow was erased, Houstonians made sure its colors stayed.

After city crews removed the Montrose Pride crosswalk under Gov. Greg Abbott’s directive, new painted rainbows and handwritten messages have appeared around the intersection.

I feel like people who don't like candy corn don't understand how to eat it.
You're not supposed to chew.
You just swallow it with water, like a pill.

Sewing pattern makers who use GenAI for the finished garment images should be kicked off of every platform for fraud. If you, as the creator, can’t make the garment and take a photo of it, you shouldn’t be selling the pattern.

Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

Just landed back home from a much needed family vacation. Portland/Oregon coast/Redwood NP/NorCal. Lots of things checked off the bucket list

I had read something about Lyme disease being prevalent in the hamptons and that’s why it seems a lot of celebs have it since many frequent that area. I cannot remember where I saw this though so please excuse me if that’s totally wrong.

Hey @texastribune.org @houstonchronicle.com @houstonpublicmedia.bsky.social are y’all reporting on the Texas voter registration backlog that may prevent thousands of people from being registered to vote by the Oct. 6 deadline?

My Texas voter registration has been pending for 3 MONTHS! The deadline to register is Oct 6 so who knows if I’ll be able to vote. I’ve made so many phone calls and sent emails. Spoke to county officials, Secretary of State people. No one seems to care or is able to help.

Summer may be on the wane here but there are golden moments still with September sunsets. James Galanos created this burnished silk chiffon sundress in the mid #1950s, form fitting at the bodice and layers for the skirt @phxart.bsky.social #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Update, went to dollar tree last week and prices have gone up from $1.25 to $1.50. Really missing the pre-covid $1 price these days.

mirza @comfyspice.bsky.social · Aug 15

The tariffs have hit dollar tree I guess

A label for a Halloween coir mat for dollar tree in the $3 to $5 section. The price has been marked up to $6 with a small white rectangle sticker label covering a red circle with the original printed price of $5

I actually love both lengths but can understand why a shorter cut would be worn more often. That fabric is amazing!

So I still use Pinterest to gather ideas and I’ve noticed that there is so much AI trash on there now. Sometimes images are labeled as AI but most are not. It’s getting frustrating to use since I have to question every other image.

Is there any old house accounts or feeds on here? I need some moral support through this struggle. 😅

mirza @comfyspice.bsky.social · Aug 5

Owning an old house is not for the weak. What was supposed to be a simple foundation leveling has turned into a semi-renovation. The plan was to phase out the work we had planned through the end of the year but now it’ll have to be done a lot sooner.

She ain’t cute, she ain’t straight, but she’s done. Used scrap wood left over from making the coop. Now my chickens need to actually start laying eggs

And I really want to have the mental bandwidth to get back into sewing. Sewing was the reason I made this account 😅
