I am finally feeling up to being a person again and that means monthly TBR's are back just in time for spooky season! I am determined to read all of my favorite horror authors, Andrew Joseph White and Gretchen Felker Martin. I just need to survive this first semester of grad school

I am officially in week 2 of my Master's program and I can already see how working full time and going to school is going to be exhausting.

All I want is to build things and start growing food! But I am completely haunted by ✨foundations✨ as a self taught builder. I thrive in chaos and greenhouse foundations are not allowing the chaos to breathe

Now that Joann’s is closing, I am going to do a massive blog and YouTube series on places to get your craft, yarn, and sewing supplies. If anyone has any places you know and love that should be included, let me know!

I feel like we remove power from amazon by NOT TALKING ABOUT AMAZON.
Mention the library. Mention the indie bookseller. Mention the direct stores.
LINK to the publisher or the direct store or the author website.

You don’t even have to bring up Amazon or link to them.

I feel like January was 20 years long and I’m blinking and February is already almost half way over. I cannot manage this weird ass time scenario

The only bad parts of being trans are because of the cis.
For the record I freaking love being trans and there is absolutely nothing this administration can do to take who I am away from me.

You can call Gwen Moore to thank her at 414-297-1140.

You can call Judy Chu to thank her at (909) 625-5394.

Make sure they know you notice when they throw hands.

THAT is what we need right now. Not a Grand Plan to Save Everyone in One Fell Swoop.

Find someone you can help. Help them. And then...do it again.

That's how we save the world, in fact.

Any time you feel like you 'aren't allowed' to start organizing.

Any time you feel like you don't have the experience.

Any time you feel like you aren't smart or strong or important enough.

Any time you have an idea, and that little voice in the back of your head tells you no.

Do it anyway.

I have been trying almost every week for a year to make my perfect bagel from scratch because Maine has TERRIBLE bagels and I have finally done it. I could sob

The TikTok ban, the Musk Twitter takeover, the Facebook moderation policy changes, the Republicans’ rapidly intensifying crackdowns on speech... let these be the proof you needed to move anything you care about online to a space you control.

Digital sovereignty is more important than ever.

I’m feeling a smidge isolated without the voices of other humans around, any recommendations for coworking or crafting streamers? #streamer #crochet

So I just got diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease this morning and I’m feeling super overwhelmed. My doctor and I have a rough plan, but does anyone have any like day to day advice to help on top of meds?

Tonight is the night, I have to declutter all my clothes. Someone wish me luck and give me strength as a fat autistic queer person who struggles with texture, being perceived, and fluctuating weight

She is devastated that she’s been put in her cozy couch instead of laying on my lap and digging in my crochet project. Oh to be a chihuahua to a depressed queer crafter

Our cat only loves me when I crochet. She is enamored by the yarn

Going from Delilah S. Dawson’s “Guillotine” to Jessica Cage’s “I Accidentally Summoned a Demon Boyfriend” is truly a surreal experience. Pulling out someone’s intestines to rearranging someone’s guts

Hi my name’s Sam, I’m 25 and my life is falling apart. What are good book recs for when you feel like your life is crumbling before your eyes?
