I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

By way of content warning I was reminded of this song while listening to @bloodwork.show (slouching towards a critique of violence)

I am working on a freestyle quilt with blocks designed by children, it is to be a gift but it is too charming not to share. EPP with appliqué and embroidery #quiltsky

quick reminder going into the cold season: do NOT build your fire directly under the heavily snow-laden boughs of a tree! You WILL regret it!

Found this recipe for cleaning spots out of clothing at the historical museum today, sharing in case anyone needs it 😊
Haven’t tried it out myself yet.

Today is the 5th anniversary of David Graber's death.

And with everything happening in the world, his work is now more relevant than ever before.

These potentially AI generated pants I saw at the thrift shop really capture the vibe lately.

Local reporting uncovered Amazon was behind the water-guzzling data center slated for the desert. Residents fought against the data center. Today, the city council unanimously voted against Project Blue.

My latest newsletter is about why being anti-genAI is to be pro-human.

It's about why it's time to fight. Why we need to fight. And it's about the cost of failure.

Hand spun flax on a little loom. The cat is again very helpful. My brother made the wooden needle.

The cat is helping me set up my new (-to-me) rigid heddle loom.

first harvest of the year. these babies are taller than me the pace will pick up in the autumn (i think they process better after they’ve fully set seed & had a chance to dry out a bit), but the weather this week looks great for retting & i felt like a bit of hedge-bothering #nettlesfortextiles

Trying a support spindle instead of a drop spindle, practicing on flax but I suspect I’ll prefer it for nettle as well.

Column: The developer of a mega data-center project near Tucson needs us as much as we need them. We have the leverage to demand enforceable commitments about their impacts on our electricity and water. We don't need to bow to AI or Big Tech.

had a dream about getting a serger at a thrift shop, then afterwards found this baby for $35. there was a note saying “unable to test” because nobody at the shop knew how to thread it, but i got her home and she works a dream!
