Purple fiber? A Rube Goldberg machine for dispensing blackberries?

I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org

It's my birthday! Please call about the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Dumb little hobbies connecting us in a deeply fucked up world! I'm ready for #TourDeFleece2025, trying to finish up some spindle spins. Coincidentally, all the fiber I'm working on comes from rad, sustainably minded businesses.

I have Calypso on a sock yarn base, one of my favorite colorways!

Just realized I dress more revealingly for fiber shows than drag shows. Tbf, evenings here get cold!

Ready to go pet some sheep at @blacksheepgathering , let's gooo!!!

Please say hi if you're a fiber friend! Will probably be wearing a pink mask, but really I think the crop top plus mohawk should be distinctive enough 😆 #blacksheepgathering #handspinning #fiberfestival

reblogging to remind myself, and to ask my fellow Oregonians, to make the calls urging them to challenge this provision.

Worth checking R H Lindsay if you're in the states! Very mixed options, but the cheviot top I got from them is delightful.

Who's going to Black Sheep Gathering in Albany this weekend?? I'll be there a good chunk of Saturday! #blacksheepgathering #wool #fiber #handspinning

I'm feeling both older and younger than ever, naive and revolutionary, protective of the next generation while also stuck in that extended millennial adolescence--and embracing aging, because what's the alternative? I want to grow old in a new world

I'm flippant here because of course the world is on fire. But also, idk, I think there are some deeper threads here about the need to reconfigure society. How have we ended up with a culture that simultaneously demonizes youth and aging?

Being in your 30s is all about being hotter than ever but also making spreadsheets about new furniture purchases

oh this is an excellent policy

Nooo! I'm planning on shopping and volunteering on Saturday. If you see someone in a hot pink or turquoise mask, please say hi!

Everything you can do to slow down ICE's ethnic cleansing pogrom will save lives.

If you make it so it takes 12 goons to do a 6-goon job, you're saving lives. Every minute they spend in location 1 is a minute they can't spend in location 2.

Every squad they deploy to your city saves another city.

A very simple monthly spending list on a dot journal background. January through June total $242 spent out of $600 budgeted

Budgeting is sexy, right? Getting my plans in order for Black Sheep Gathering let's goooo

Happy, furious pride!
