With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

A draft of a pair of gloves, consisting of the main body and the thumb portion.

A size comparison between the previous draft, sitting on top of the current draft. The fingers are much wider, and there's much more allowance for the thumb party to allow more movement.

I decided to redo the glove draft, not only to make the fingers wider, but to also add more movement to the thumb. The thumb in particular was bugging me a lot, hoping the changes help.

Lots of US companies have done lots of dreadful things to Americans. But the symbolism of paying to destroy the White House is hard to top.

I forgot to add, I bought the silicone leather from a site called Fabric Funhouse.

I'm using silicone leather, which doesn't have any stretch to it. Instead of using 1.5cm for the stretch allowance, I used 5cm for the trank (main glove body). I also use polyester thread instead of waxed thread since I saw that recommended on sewing sites.

“If U.S. citizens can be arrested under these operations is alarming enough, but the fact that the information is then deleted from public view is even more worrisome,” said Florida Immigrant Coalition’s Tessa Petit. “Facts are being hidden from Floridians, and we deserve to know why.”

The title screen for the horror game "Still Wakes the Deep". The screen shows an oil rig partially concealed in fog with roaring ocean waters underneath. The heavy orange tint is not part of the game, I am using a heavy night filter to help with eye strain (big migraine trigger for me).

Decided to get a late birthday gift for myself, looking forward to it.

(Quick note: the heavy orange tint is to help me with eye strain, it's a big migraine trigger for me)

Parts for a pair of gloves cut out from silicone leather. The parts consists of the glove body (called the trank) for the left and right hands, the thumb pieces, and the fourchette (the pieces that go in-between the fingers).

A size comparison between the Papa IV gloves draft and the current draft. The Papa IV draft is sitting on top to show the extra room that was added to each finger.

I decided to make a pair of gloves for myself, made them bigger than the Papa IV draft since those were kind of tight. Second picture is a size comparison.

Have you heard of tactical frivolity?

It’s one of my favorite forms of protest.

Tactical frivolity is what happens when you use humor, costumes, and joy to make power look ridiculous. 🪩🐔🐸

A piece of white poster board with a picture of Father Jack from the Irish sitcom "Father Ted". The photo is him yelling, with a speech bubble painted next to the picture that reads "FECK OFF TRUMP!"

I was going to go to the #NoKings protest tomorrow... until I got an "Engine Power is Reduced" error on the car last night. The auto place doesn't want me driving it until they have a look at it. 😞

I made up a new sign too. 😞

I was married, but I'm not married anymore. Women don't like the vehicle.

ICE arrested comedian Robby Roadsteamer for singing a parody of Rod Stewart’s “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy” in a Jeffrey Epstein the Giraffe costume outside their facility.

He sings “If you hate brown people / and you are a Nazi” and ICE thugs grab him and drag him into detention. No violence—just speech.

Korol is a US citizen. Her family hasn’t heard from her since she was taken, public charges haven’t been released—what crime did she even commit? 2nd-Degree Woodwinding?—and there has been no explanation for her “renditioning” across state lines.

We’ve moved into a new phase of Trump lawlessness.
