I'm brand new to Bluesky, still learning how it all works. I'm a fiber artist, usually working with upcycled fabric scraps. I've been stitching my feelings lately, and this is my latest embroidery project - Sunbonnet Sue, Days of Rage collection. It's inspired by the 1930's Sunbonnet Sue designs.

We are now finding bird flu in deer mice and house mice in Washington State.
H5N1 is advancing along the evolutionary ladder—affecting birds, mammals, and humans. This is not speculation; it’s a timeline.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people.

I used to read books about life in the Soviet Union and marvel at the ways normal folks communicated in the face of totalitarian oppression. Today I scroll through federal bureaucrats using code words and carefully placed asterisks on Reddit and I’m like, ah shit.
