The pattern for my newest cross stitch pattern is LIVE on Etsy!
Use the link in my bio to buy your own!

A cross stitch design on marbly dark purple Aida fabric, in an old fashioned style dark gold rectangular frame. The cross stitch is all white thread and looks like an exquisite, rectangular lacy doily with scalloped edges. In the middle in large elegant capital letters is the word "fuck".

"I will not yield to disrespectful men." This powerful quote by AOC was an easy decision to turn into a cross stitch pattern.

This was formerly in my Etsy shop, but I moved it into Ko-Fi and made it free in exchange for moving my pattern "8647" out of Ko-Fi and into my Etsy shop, where it was listed last night.

Tim Walz: "It's almost unimaginable that he's got Milei in there, giving him $20 billion, so that they can undercut us and China can buy their soybeans from them. And now China has learned they can replace our markets."

If I don't end up on a government watch list for "being in Antifa" based on my leftist social media posts, I'm doing it wrong and clearly not living up to my potential.

Should I go maximalist, or keep it minimalist? 👀

A photo of a blackwork embroidery sampler on white Aida cloth. The sampler consists of 49 small squares arranged in 7 rows, each filled with a different abstract geometric motif. They are stitched in coloured thread, with the colours forming a diagonal double rainbow from red at the top left and bottom right corners, to a line of purple running from bottom left to top right. Each motif is outlined in black thread.

If Pete Hegseth had more than a room temp IQ, he would have been aware of the collective eyerolling from his audience that was so loud I heard it half a country away. Hegseth is such an embarrassing loser. No wonder he's a useless drunk.

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Watching right wing evangelical xians call Mormons "Christian" after the shooting is 1000% evidence they're using this for their own gain. I was raised right wing evangelical xian and none of them considered Mormons "Christian". For them to include Mormons now is pure political manipulation.
