A neurospicy, liberal, covid-cautious quilter recovering from long covid who is excited about one day releasing their first pattern. I enjoy free motion quilting & ruler quilting on a domestic machine. 🧵 Ex-Postie (by a different name)!

Some awesome things I have learned in the journey of life:

1. Assume good intent

2. People (including kids) do well if they can

What have you learned in life that has served you well?

No Nazis. Period. That’s the fucking line.

Do you have tips for requesting and working with pattern testers? In the next few months I’ll be ready to share my pattern with a select few to test and am curious on best practices.

"Let me explain my Nazi tattoo" is not something I want to hear from a Democratic Senate candidate. We can raise the bar higher than that. Also, I'm all for angry mavericks running for Senate, but with that personality type, "Is he a future Fetterman?" is a legitimate question.

So happy to have finished a quilt top variation from my very own pattern today! And I found a few “bugs” in my pattern so got to fix them too.

In Mexico, blackouts caused by data centers destroyed people's refrigerators and oxygen equipment in hospitals, and water shortages meant toilets couldn't flush in schools.

AI is another version of colonial extraction.

Heather Randell @heatherrandell.bsky.social · 2d

“By 2035, data centers globally are projected to use about as much electricity as India…according to the International Energy Agency. A single data center can also use more than 500,000 gallons of water a day, nearly as much as an Olympic-size swimming pool.”

This post is funny, but it just shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the history of feminine labor and craft.

Spinsters dismantled the Spinning Jenny by hand. Suffragettes used acid and bombs to attack politicians. Militant textile workers went on strike by the tens of thousands.

The Venn Diagram of protestors today who would count as hardcore antifa that are ready to take up arms for the revolution and people whose primary hobby is quilting would be interesting to see.

US gov accounts are here to harass people, quote direct trouble

blocklists interface can be a little counterintuitive if you're unfamiliar with them, because Subscribe understandably sounds like the opposite of what you'd want to do, but that's where the option is to block all. it's what I'm doing🥷🏼

Idaho started ACA open enrollment. Here's a preview for the rest of us.

When your rates rise and you can't afford coverage, remember that it's the GOP who made it happen.

www.nbcnews.com/health/healt...

"Both are retired and make about $42,000 a year. They currently pay $51 a month for their ACA plan. Late last month, they got a notice that their monthly premium would increase to $2,232 next year without the subsidies."

I expect cobra coverage to go up too. I’m on cobra now and can’t afford to stay on it (lost my job) so was going to switch to ACA but won’t be able to afford that either.

These state troopers are NAZI goons. Nothing more.

State troopers in riot gear just plowed into the crowd, started arresting protesters and clergy.

It’s wonderful to be back at my sewing machine again. Besides sewing some star variations for a quilt I am also working on the next iteration of my first pattern.

Mystic Quilts @mysticquilts.bsky.social · 8d

I’m really liking how this quilted star turned out. Not bad for making something from donated fabric!

There's no peace in the Middle East if we return to the status quo of oppression in Palestine that existed before this one-sided war. Pretending this is an accomplishment when 70,000 civilians, 20,000 of them children, are dead, is a god damned embarrassment, and our media should be ashamed.

I’ve been dealing with #LongCovid health issues for the past few weeks and happily got to sit down and cut out some fabric today for my next project.

Same.

The excuses don't fly. No one can claim ignorance of how gAI gets trained or of the massive ecological damage it causes anymore. You know and you're using it anyway.

The second I notice GenAI on an account, I block.
No thank you.

It's not a matter of autistic people being the only people who need things, while you are a bastion of calm independence. Your needs get met as a matter of course because the system is designed for you. I am asking for a fraction of that energy.

Who else has their copy of Dr Aimie Apigian’s book in their hands and is excited to read it?

I am hopeful that this book shares her methodology enough such that folks who can’t afford her modules can access healing.

The BIOLOGY of TRAUMA
How the Body Holds

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.
