You’re so welcome! Some of the designs were hard to translate from crossstitch to freehand but I just leaned into the imperfections 😅

Merino felt embroidery with patterns inspired by traditional tatreez designs. Going to the Falastin Tea Collective for them to add to a raffle or future fundraiser ❤️

My house is filled with teenagers, and one of them just said to my son, “if we need to film a cottagecore video, we’re using your house”.

This is a compliment, I believe!?

I don’t need to read the Epstein book to know that a whole bunch of famous people who have spent years claiming to have hardly known the guy, in fact, have documented evidence of going to his sex crimes island to do sex crimes and then write funny little notes to him about it afterwards.

We are deeply concerned about the other accelerationist neo-Nazis in the NZ Defence Force and the lack of political will to remove them. We know of at least four Action Zealandia members who have served or are currently serving in the defence forces.

The espionage soldier was a founding member of Action Zealandia, and set up their chat groups and recruited for them. He also made fawning posts about the Chch shooter. He was arrested before his planned to trip to Russia, following in the shooter's footsteps.

Forum post from "Jim Young", a pseudonym of the espionage soldier about Breton Tarrant. It reads "His letter was so beautiful. He so has my handwriting. And the tour he described that he went on is literally exactly what I'm doing over Christmas. Am I bt. I'm even doing the golden circle tour

Yesterday, New Zealand Police revealed they didn't start investigating the espionage soldier until after March 15.
Several anti-fascist researchers reported his online activity to the New Zealand Defence Force prior to the Christchurch massacre. 🧵

Watch out for - and call out - these talking points becoming the story as opposed to the debate focusing on the NZ Government weighing up its position on the recognition of Palestine as a state.
It’s the same deliberate, clickbait nonsense that always happens when women speak up. Change the story.

Series of media screenshots talking about Swarbrick vs the debate focusing on the NZ Government weighing up its position on the recognition of Palestine as a state.

Banned from parliament for the rest of the week for refusing to apologize for calling other MPs spineless, as they refuse to do anything meaningful about war crimes against civilians in Gaza

What a fucked up world we live in

Wonderful punchline to the thoroughly depressing story about the planned protests around the country yesterday and today.

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

"Go back to where you've come from, we don't want

you," shouted one woman towards the hotel. On the

other side of the road, counter-protesters chanted

that refugees were welcome. In a rare moment of

unity, the far right began singing "fuck Keir Starmer"

to the tune of Seven Nation Army by the White

Stripes and the anti-fascists joined in.

It’s so wild how this offshoot of ‘feminism’ has gone full circle into ‘a woman is defined by whether she has baby-making ingredients’ and if those bits don’t work, they’ll happily use the term ‘faulty’.

AI filmmaking is peeing. It’s pooping. It’s throwing up. It’s a new kind of liquid coming out. It’s hated by the establishment. It’s what goes in the toilet. It’s wet. It’s what’s in the bathroom.

AI filmmaking and storytelling is punk rock. It’s hip hop. It’s counterculture. It’s a new type of creativity. It’s a new medium. It’s hated by the mainstream film and art establishment. It resists ideology. It ignores gate keeping. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. It’s viral. It’s accessible. It’s refreshing. It’s welcoming. It’s here.
