Lawyer by day, wanna be artist/hippie by night. Gen-X, post-dating, tend toward agoraphobia. I’m looking for people into sewing and upcycling clothing, and growers/herbalists. I have a tea garden in which I am growing a lot of rue. Zone 10a.

I want history to be fair to this administration and report every horrifying act scrupulously.

I am an experienced costumer opening a small shop in Escondido to sell precut dead stock fabric. I have good sources and the room to price below retail. What would sewists like to have access to, now that sources are limited? #fabric #deadstock #escondido #costumes #DIY #sewing #sandiego

The “prosecute the former regime at every level” candidate has my vote in 2028.

For example, is wrinkle gauze still a thing or would regular cotton be better (understanding that fiber content will be a guess for everything)? I went to my first faire in years this year. Ribbons, trims, laces? I am trying to do a little to increase availability and will price below market. 3/3

I will grab interesting fabrics and bolt ends that are appropriate but as to the fabrics I get by the yard, what fabrics would you as a sewist like to have available, both as a garment creator or costumer, and what yardage would be useful? I am limited by availability but targets are good. 2/

I am opening up a small shop and one of the things I would like to sell is dead stock fabrics. I want to sell precut bundles because my space is very small. I have a costuming background and as faire season nears I will be catering to that community, also cosplayers and general sewists. 1/

Ugh. I’m so sick of state media. I’d say that on average my encounters with TSA have not reflected a lot of cheer. It’s long past time to abolish it.

I believe my bc was caused by other risk factors mostly attributable to medical neglect and a medical procedure I had for a chronic health condition that involved radiation (and is not the standard of care in any other industrialized nation).

I felt much better on HRT but I feel I should disclose that I did get breast cancer. I don’t blame the HRT. It’s the progesterone that increases the risk. You need progesterone to prevent endometrial cancer if you have a uterus. No uterus, no need for progesterone.

So many people involved with this administration are cartoon villains. I never knew there were this many stupidly evil people before this.

It’s also super dumb because SNAP benefits go back into the economy and provide a dollar value of benefit higher than cost.

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

Yes because Americans are definitely smart and well educated these days. I love how the administration undermining education thinks Americans can fill these jobs.

Is there anyone in San Diego county interested in some perilla cuttings? I have a massive plant I’ve had to prune to move some irrigation lines. I may have more cuttings too and possibly fresh herbs (I know my tulsi needs to be pruned).

A lot of people I know on here are not active. I think people just aren’t active here now. I just came back and I’m hoping it gets active again.

My ADHD was discovered because phentermine I was taking for weight loss made my anxiety go away.

Yes then it sounds like you have to say. I still have people at work who think I just took a wildly long vacation.

A Millennial’s Guide to Breast Cancer: The Beginning I turned 40 earlier this year and decided to go ahead and get a mammogram. The American Cancer Society says women can start annual screening at 40, but should definitely start at 45. Considering my family history, I opted to start just to be sure. Unfortunately, we were quickly sure that I had breast cancer. On the plus side, I was surrounded by all kinds of support.

Mine was also not palpable and it was also in the bottom third. I got the MRI because I had a type that was not very scannable.

No. And I have to weigh whether they should know the diagnosis or just get a “I had some health problems.”

Immigration courts used to close for nondetained cases during government shutdowns, but this time it's different. Here's what that looks like at the San Diego Immigration Court.

I believe there will be justice in the end. These people are not immune and when the country regains its sanity, they will pay.

A photo collage of a knitted colourwork mitt in navy and chartreuse. The front mitt features underwing moth motif, and it's surrounded by geometric designs, including stages of the moon. Two of the three images show the front of the mitt, one with three ceramic bowls with geometric designs in shades blue, and the other shows the back of the mitt which has geometric circles on, also alongside the three ceramic bowls with geometric designs in shades of blue, yellow and white

My first mitt is finished! 💙💛
The pattern is the underwing mitts by Erica Heusser and the mitt is knitted in Miss la Motte yarns.

And even if there is compromise, SCOTUS told Trump he can do whatever he wants with appropriated money. Why would the Dems trust the GOP for anything?
