Seeing my favorites at flock was the best 🫶🏻😘🥰

I got to see @sambartley.com, @seanbartleymusic.com (no photo evidence cause I 1000% forgot), and my mom all in one day. Pretty solid if you ask me

I can’t wait for Spellbound in Seattle next year 🥰🫶🏻✨

I’m a featured creator for the event too!

Also yes, I’ve already started planning my outfits 😂🫶🏻🫣

I just wanted to shout out @andylunique.bsky.social real quick.

This human being believed in me, gave me some incredible advice, and sent me on my way with a newfound confidence I didn't know I had, and now I'm doing things I had only dreamed of.

I appreciate you beyond words Chef <3

Not much survived the sun on this balcony, but I have a few cucumbers trying their best and the carrots are growing!

Next year we try the other balcony 😂

Went and had a picnic in the park last night with some friends and got a free show 😂

Sometimes touching grass isn’t enough and you need to go for a (much further than expected) walk to the beach, dig for rocks, and touch the water 🫶🏻

*covers mouth because secrets*

*muffled screams that sound like I am saying something really cool but you can't quite tell what it is*

Oh, and yes. There will be kittens to cuddle at the booth, a friendship bracelet gumball machine, and some of the cutest Pax exclusive shirts out there. Just in case you need extra motivation to swing by.

See you there pals!

Nope! But we do team up with some incredible studios to make a real impact through fundraising - and we’ve got something especially exciting coming up that you won’t want to miss.

Seattle Humane is going to have our very own booth at PAX West this year!

I know what you’re thinking:

“Wait… you don’t make video games.”

I’ve done a lot of cool things in my career - launched game releases with Bungie, announced a brand-new title, became a published designer, and picked up a few awards with Xbox and Microsoft back in my GameStop days.

But honestly? This might be the coolest announcement yet.

"I care about trans people" - says the people who went to the hp place after the con and bought hp merch/drinks/food/participated in that bullshit.

You're not fooling anyone, and also, you're a trash human. Period.

Just a little rooftop knitting to help chase the anxious brain away 🫶🏻✨

Just some fiber arts things from the past week <3

I'm obsessed actually

Just wanted to hop on and say hi :)

I’ve got a pretty neat announcement to make soon :)

Also I love you 🫶🏻 *pats your head*

Sometimes you bring your neon pride Tunisian crochet blanket project to the park to work on, and your partner does a little photo shoot for you <3

I designed a new blanket for Hobbii (they will let me know the pub date asap) and started a new design with hand spun yarn from my friend @sleepingluna.bsky.social.

I have 14 events in the next 6 weeks, so I needed this time to crochet more than I thought lol.

Also, who is going to Pax West?

Please share this so people are aware.

It's been a busy few months, but I think I am finally falling into a routine of manageable chaos & I am really stoked about it.

Pax tickets are bought for myself & our creator, gathering fun giveaway items for our pals, & building a really rad campaign to start it all off soon. I am stoked. 💕

Thank youuuuu!

Hi new pal! I design all kinds of knit and crochet wear, most are free patterns too <3 I'm on ravelry and socials under SamBartleyDesigns, or sambartley.com has everything <3

Happy Birthdayyyy! <3 <3

I have yet to work with anyone who requires it in this current climate because they know how problematic it is... But if a company dictates what platforms you're on, that seems like a deeper issue... Like they support the owner of it.

Threads is great for news!

For sure. I wish they posted here more too.

I also got mine in 2009 too, had over 10k followers (which is HUGE for me), and one that supported the shit out of my work. Here is cozy, but a lot quieter on that front, but id rather have safe than whatever that is...

I may not write on this platform often, but I'm here, and it still blows my mind the amount of people that are still on Twitter in general.

Like.... It's filled with right wing people that want queer, trans, Black, POC, and other minorities dead... Period.

Is there a reason you're still there?

When people say "if you don't go to *insert convention name* you're missing out!" BUT the event is hosted in a space where trans, queer, and marginalized people aren't safe or wanted?

Yeah. Not going. *shrugs* it's pretty simple.

If you’re coming to Seattle pride in the park be sure to stop by the Seattle Humane booth and say hi 🫶🥰😘

Bellevue Paws and Pride was exactly what I needed to start this month off on the right woof 🥰🫶

I love what I get to do at my job 🥹
