He definitely isn’t the first. It’s disheartening to watch for sure.

And for anyone wondering, I gridded the fabric with Sulky copper (the Sulky silver wasn’t showing up well).

I was highly displeased with the fabric I got for being far too dark, and had to work a lot to lighten it to a correct color. But I’m loving the stitch-along so far. I’m a little behind but I’m hoping to catch up this weekend.

Pattern by @noctifloradesigns.bsky.social

A cross stitch work in progress on dark charcoal fabric in a black and white striped hoop. The pattern says “TOADGHOUL TERRORARIUM” in a gradient of lime green and teal. A little fox needle minder also sits on the fabric.

We are getting a PROPER fall here in the PNW this year and I couldn’t be happier

I was thinking of some bookmarks…I’ll have to look into some stand alone finishing techniques for the edges…

Writer is from the UK; things may be different there.

But this is a reminder that all of the gay rights in the US are “a commonly accepted and understood conclusion” based on court trials the Supreme Court are currently trying to overturn.

We have no true, codified queer laws granting rights here.

Senthorun S. Raj @senthorun.bsky.social · Aug 10

A reminder: you cannot have gay rights without women’s rights, trans rights, disability rights, etc. We have secured our rights as gay folk to live and love without moral persecution by working in solidarity with other marginalised groups to challenge narrow ideas about bodies, gender and sexuality.

#crossstitch crafters! I have two awkward scraps of 18ct black Aida, 13x3 and 4x9. What should a spooky creepy girl like me do with them? Anyone have pattern ideas?

Coming direct from #WarRavagedPortland it takes a lot for me to admit I have died twice this week already. I cannot walk down the tree lined streets to access incredibly dependable public transportation and sit at cafes to enjoy a latte on a warm fall day anymore.

Remember: hatred comes from people who hate their own existence.

The shit they are saying isn’t really about you…

…who credited back the $1.53 I was missing, but also credited me $20 for the inconvenience. That’s free lunch next week!

1 star for computer. 5 star for person. (I would have given 5 star for the human w/o the extra $20.) The way to tell companies we don’t want to be replaced by AI is to rate.

Elliot aka The Fen Witch @thefenwitch.bsky.social · Sep 19

I ordered dinner delivery. Delivery person forgot my drink.

Automated support didn’t even credit back what I paid for the drink. I don’t need extra but I should at least get back what I paid for a missing item. I made it take me to an agent…

This is a reminder to rate virtual/automated low and person assistance high. Fudge tech numbers so they can’t replace real people.

The truth hurts: Kash Patel is the least qualified FBI Director in history. On his watch, white supremacists run free, qualified staff are pushed out, and he refuses to even name right-wing extremism as the top threat. I have ZERO confidence in him to keep Americans safe.

If you don’t drink water that’s been sitting around for a while because it’s “gone bad” that’s SILLY. Water doesn’t go bad. You shouldn’t drink it because it’s now HAUNTED

CROCKETT: When I say that you are the least qualified FBI director in the history of the FBI, that is real, because you are the only one that never even served with the FBI

PATEL: That's false

CROCKETT: I didn't ask you a question

I cleaned out my junk drawer and there was a tiny Spirit Halloween in there the next day run by homunculi.

I rode an electric scooter today because I forgot I had library books on hold and they were about to close.

I have never been so frightened in my life 🤣🤣🤣

I always thought I wanted a cute lil Vespa to run quick errands. I have been relieved of that idea. Solidly. 🤣
