Hybrid meetings suuuuuck.

The caffeine in my blood can not be contained!!!

Memorial Blood Systems' new donor screening portal only allows for male or female and that not only pisses me off, it makes trying to donate feel super dysphoric for me. Yay.

Well, it got worse. This time the needle slipped out of my vein on the return, so now I have a huge bruise and a two month deferral.

Ugh, is paying $2k to keep the tires from falling off our car *really* necessary?

She has a cooling pad in her kennel. 🤷

Me bringing the dog in from the yard: Hi Maggie! Hi Maggie-Bones! Hi Magga-licious! Hi Magga-rita-pita!

*Seeing my neighbor, just standing there watching me, trying not to laugh*: Oh, hi.

A red dog lying on a hardwood floor, surrounded by colorful rugs, a bright blue yoga mat, and a brown and tan pet bed.

There are literally 3 rugs, 1 pet bed, and a yoga mat around her. All of which provide more cushion and grip than the bare floor for her old bones and bad hips! We love our girl, but she is not bright.

I stopped by the pharmacy to pick up some meds and *didn't* buy any junk food.

So proud of myself, I deserve a little treat for that. 😂

A TV screen showing a football match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace. Below the TV on the wall are hanging some Black Hart t-shirts.

Football is back baby!

A FB message that reads: I'm not sure what you want from me regarding the podcast. Andry and the other people involved should never hae been treated as they were. Before people are deported they need to be found guilty of any criminal acts that make them undesireable in this country. Trump and Noem are caring the deportation too far. The fact that he fit the LGBTY profile shouldn't make any difference. He is a human being and should be treated as such.

I posted an interview with Andry Hernández talking about his experience in CECOT on FB. This was the response my mom sent me. I'm sensing some guilt here, but honestly, she, unlike my father, will at least admit what's being done is wrong.

On Tubi - Slay

Hilarious mix of drag queens, bikers and vampires.

And today she used the difference between the Spanish saber/conocer to explain the difference between the Swedish vet/känner.

I almost teared up today. We were talking to a new family on our block. Turns out they are red state refugees and what led them to pick a house in our neighborhood was our pride flag and pro-trans yard signs.🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Foolhardy is more like it.

767 stitches done out of approximately 22,500 in this commission. 3.4%! Yay! 🎉

Andre Hernandez's abduction by ICE has stayed with me for months. I'm glad he is safe, horrified by the abuse he endured, and so deeply angry with this county for doing this to him and so many others.

In the background is a TV with an advertisement for the BBC show Landscape Artist of the Year. Blurry, in the foreground, is a cross stitch hoop with a scattering of red stitches.

If you are looking for a gentle, feel-good British competition show and have Am*zon Prime, may I recommend Landscape Artist of the Year

I came here to say the same thing. Also Chthulu.

Making other people happy just makes me happy. 🥰

TIL running the hair dryer in the basement at the same time as the AC in the living room will trip a breaker. 🤷 Whoopsy.

I'm actually kinda of happy. My embroidery is keeping me creative and expressing myself. My language learning is engaging my brain and making me (sometimes) feel like I'm learning something. And work, for all its faults, keeps me busy and practicing my coding and problem solving.

knowingly giving money to a transphobe means you have decided the lives of trans people are worth less.

by definition that makes you a transphobe.

you may think i am exaggerating for effect. i am not.

I now have 3 commissions lined up for the next few months, along with one gallery show and applying for another.

How soon until I can quit my job and sew full time? 😅😂

An embroidery hoop with blue fabric and a stitched seahorse. The seahorse has a blue and green head and belly, a yellow and green side, and an orange and green back. The spiraled tail is a blend of orange and blue

Continuing my theme of colorful sea animals.

Two identical memes of a train hitting a bus. In the first, the bus is labeled "my dog walking over for some pets" and the train is labeled "my other dog". In the second, the bus is labeled "Greece is such a nice country. Maybe I should learn some Greek..." and the train is labeled "Greek grammar".

I'm afraid Instagram has me dialed in.

Every time I hear of someone dying by suicide I'm reminded of my, thankfully, former boss. When Robin Williams died, she went on a tirade about how people like that were selfish & we were better off w/out them.

Not the first time I hid & cried at that job. You never know someone else's struggles.

I have already received a chana saag recipe. 🤤

They poked me twice - first time i was one point below, second time was lower. 🙃
