TediousTextiles on instagram. I love to knit, crochet, embroider, and quilt to avoid dwelling on societal collapse. No I’m not a tradwife - but my wife is 😉 (That is a joke, she’s just a good baker)

I’m going through WPA posters in the Library of Congress for another project, and came across this PSA.

“Hey Jim, we need you to design a poster that tells people syphilis is curable!”

“…okay but I’m gonna put dinosaurs on it.”

“Whatever man, just make sure it’s relevant.”

I think what is making everyone so angry isn’t just the cowardice of Senate Democrats, it’s their cowardice in comparison to the random normal person who runs for school board to oust a Moms for Liberty freak

Basically, in addition to demonizing breastfeeding in order to sell more formula, they have more recently used expensive lawyers to bully local governments into giving them water usage.

🔔 Measles case confirmed in Michigan. Exposure may have occurred at the locations below. This is especially dangerous for kids who have not had the MMR vaccine.
This is specific to Michigan residents, because Nestle purchased water rights in Michigan for basically nothing and is now selling us back that water in plastic bottles. Let me see if I can track down that source.
Okay who wants to run for Senate in Michigan and won’t capitulate to fascists on a regular basis? That’s my only bar and I’ll be working on your campaign.
At the very least, everyone please wear masks on public transit like planes. We do not need this outbreak sweeping the country!
Cases in the Texas measles outbreak are now up to 259, an increase of 36 cases since Tuesday. Total U.S. measles cases are now higher than they were for all of 2024. RFK Jr. continues to spread misinformation about MMR vaccines. This is epidemiology hell.

If measles appears in your state, I would recommend masking in public consistently again. I know many immunocompromised people never stopped masking, but measles is one of the most contagious diseases, persisting in the air even after an infected person leaves.

I guarantee you they are miserable in real life too. Imagine being so dissatisfied with yourself, even after plastic surgery and multiple partners bearing your children, that you feel the need to work “120 hour” drug-fueled weeks just to ruin other people’s lives. Misery loves company.
Succession and White Lotus are important television for our times because it's fun and therapeutic to see wealthy people with fabulous lives be absolutely miserable.
These two pieces will be on sale at Posterity Gallery in Grosse Pointe for the rest of the month, as part of their #PortraitParlor exhibition!

If you haven’t seen The Wiz, I hope Cynthia Erivo’s performance just now convinces you! My wife and I have been arguing for years about whether our child should see The Wiz or Wizard of Oz first…as a result he has seen neither 🤣

I wouldn’t show up. Select someone rational to give a state of the union and we’ll all watch that instead.
I wish I could tell President Zelensky how sorry I am that he was treated like that. Watching that debacle had the air of when your kid misbehaves for company. Like, I know you’re a twerp to ME, but please don’t act like that when we have people over! 😩
NEW: A searing editorial in the The Kyiv Independent.

“It’s time to say it plainly. America’s leadership has switched sides in the war. The American people have not, and they should speak up.

“A president just disrespected America in the Oval Office. It wasn’t Zelensky.”
