DIY window clings made with glue and glitter glue, as craft projects for the Halloween party. What do we think, chat? 👍 or 👎?

A translucent white skull with blue glitter outlines.

A translucent white ghosting with purple glitter outline and eyes. It looks a bit worried or maybe sad.

My brain now knows the information. However. My mouth says what it says. One-m = PRY-mer

(feels like one of those things you can be "correct" about but other people think you're saying it wrong ...)

I don't care for *the game* (for one thing, it sucks for two players 😄) but damned if I'm not coming to be a fan of the company that made it.

I was a huge fan of Katie Porter! Loved those videos of her poking holes in witness testimonies! And I saw that news, and I was like "Well, THAT'S disappointing." You're allowed to be critical of Dems! Hold on to your own standards.

Celeste Pewter @celestepewter.bsky.social · 1d

Going to be honest: Threads going to bat for Katie Porter is one of the most 🫠 things I've seen today...

And really speaks to my ongoing belief we shouldn't stan politicians. At all.

Fellow Dems, hold politicians accountable for their work, not for who you THINK they are only on camera.

Nobody EVER knocked on my sister's door unannounced (or unafraid, for that matter 😅). If I was coming over, I would let her know so she could corral them.

This is an EXCELLENT book.

Helena Greer @blumagaincurios.bsky.social · 2d

If you're celebrating International Lesbian Day, can I recommend doing so with Noelle Northwood, the fat dapper butch dreamboat from Season of Love?
Bonus! The book starts right after Sukkot. It's seasonal!

Mel said:

the people who might get the most pity from the oligarchy
lives eugenics would have us extinguish
whose struggle is evident to all

they ALSO oppose a cure

Mel, a picture of what the orange oligarchy fears & loathes

sie said clearly: we oppose a cure

The kids here might not know about Mel Baggs (sie/hir) who radically changed my understanding of cognitive function

In the early 2000’s, I thought Mel’s YouTube may be a hoax. I was an ignorant twit.

We know better now re: nonspeaking individuals but when Mel & I were young, sie was disbelieved.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

Today at storytime a toddler crawled right up to me and stood up between my knees (inside my skirt) and the mom was like "!!!" and I said "this is why I wear tights" and we just kept going. I love my job.👍🤣

Happy Sunday, who needs a RAINBOW SHUTTLE?? And spools, obviously. I’ve been using them on my latest towel project and I like them a lot! 🌈🧶 #weaving #bsnm

measuredandslow.studio/shop/sapfd0p...

A pile of brightly colored 3D printed boat shuttles, printed in two kinds of rainbow filament. The top two shuttles have a cream and a teal thread wound onto the spools

A bold rainbow matte boat shuttle with a matching bobbin. The bobbins wound with cream thread

A shimmery, slightly translucent pastel rainbow boat shuttle with a matching bobbin. The bobbins wound with teal thread

Two boat shuttles resting on top of a piece of weaving still on the loom. The weaving is done in small cream and teal pinwheels and each boat shuttle is wound with corresponding colors
