The MAHA agenda is a lot of things—white supremacist, anti-science, deadly—and rhetorically it’s also the idea that any bad health outcome that happens to you is your fault. It’s linking sickness with moral weakness

The Last Hospitals in Gaza In the ruins of a health-care system, many medical facilities have become graveyards. Doctors continue to deliver lifesaving care—but they risk their own lives in the process.

Israeli forces have now dropped more explosives in Gaza than fell on London, Dresden, and Hamburg during the Second World War. The region’s hospitals have not been spared; most are no longer functional. Clayton Dalton writes about the devastation.

Abolish ICE

Palestinians are not “facing” starvation.

They are being starved to death by Israel.

Yet our government still refuses to end all arms sales and implement sanctions, granting endless impunity for Israel's crimes against humanity.

End the blockade — and stop the genocide.

Important reminder today (and always)

Mass starvation. Ethnic cleansing. Genocide.

That is what our government is enabling — and it should be eternally ashamed.

End all arms sales to Israel now.

Another flat-lay featuring a bunch of objects on a scrubby pine table. On the left we see some black velvet ballet flats (on top of a cardboard box rather than the table because we aim for sanitary around here). Beside the shoes are two lots of different grey yarn- one the form of 3 mohair balls, and the other attached to a textured shawl project. Scattered between the yarns are a variety of stickers- a pride Oilers sticker, a Free Palestine sticker, a Chappel Roan sticker (obv), an "all bodies are good bodies" sticker, and a hand representing the indigenous LGBTQIA+ community. A phone sits beside them showing the Fourth Wing audiobook playing. Another work in progress project sits in the middle- a hat in dark green yarn. More yarn (three mini skeins) sit atop a vivid blue music book- piano music by Mendelssohn inside. Finally two finished objects complete the scene- one folded purple fuzzy vest with tortoiseshell buttons, and one green/black fuzzy cardigan with a lacy collar and balloon sleeves.

March flat-lay, staving off the scaries edition. Main characters: stickers of hope and love, purple tortoiseshell buttons, a bit 'o smut, a lot 'o yarn, the promise of ivories to be tickled, and a dream Poshmark find 🩰

A farmworker organizer was detained by ICE this morning. The ICE agents broke is car window when he tried to exercise his rights. Find out what you can do to help here: www.instagram.com/p/DHospEeo8e...

All workers deserve dignity.

I love how his framing of intolerance here is the inverse of how conservatives mock safe spaces. Intolerance should be mocked. Re: the inclusion of a Black character: “If that upsets you, if that makes you feel like you’re not in your special place… go talk to your therapist about it.”

Today, mothers and fathers in Gaza are mourning their children because governments across the world did not deem their lives worthy of protection.

Two books and a library visitors guide sit on a wooden table. One book is "The Sock Project" by Summer Lee, with a colourful cover of hand-knitted socks. The other is "A Stash of One's Own" edited by Clara Parkes, featuring an illustration of borrower-size people surrounded by yarny goodness (and a sheep!)

...and couldn't come away without some knitting reading material 👌 @summerlee.bsky.social @claraparkes.bsky.social

I didn't get the artist's name, but it felt so special and peaceful 💕 I highly recommend the small "Refuge Canada" exhibit.

The attacks on free speech should terrify us all + Pipe Rock Theory, Beta babies, the toy collectible boom, re-buttonification, a Portnoy memoir, and Ye Squad vs the Bruzz House

We witnessed things like RICO charges being levied at protesters fighting cop city in ATL, mask bans that lock disabled ppl out of public life, students facing federal charges for peaceful protests, all under Democratic leadership. I wrote about how Dems set the stage for Trump's attacks on speech

MYTH: Trump has imposed 25% tariffs on Mexico and Canada. FACT: Actually this is true, no wait it’s a myth now, and, fuck, no wait.

A wonky skein of light grey, heathered yarn sits beside a black and green marled cardigan in progress- one arm and the body is complete, but there are stitch markers all over the piece. Some pieces of green micro-gingham and a spool of elastic are below the grey yarn, alongside a long noodle of grey twisted ribbing on a curved knitting needle. Above the ribbing is a book entitled "Visible Creative Mending," with two cards from the same author, Collingwood-Norris, beside it. To complete the scene is a single sage-green crochet square still attached to a tiny ball of yarn and a fluoro orange crochet hook, and two skeins of almost luminous violet, speckled yarn.

A late February flat-lay, feat. my first ever test knit for Famke of Mipi the Label, some GLORIOUS Nervus Fibre yarn, second-hand yarn excitement, some gingham fabric pieces I have cut out to make a Damson Madder-inspired skirt, and the art that is the work of @collingwoodnorris.bsky.social

When people speak derisively about “activism” and “activists” they’re typically referring to marginalized people speaking about their lived experiences of oppression in a way that is intended to undermine their credibility

I'm with Kelly here: deeply interested in leftism as a political project but have no interest whatsoever in leftism as a subculture. the stakes of leaving this behind are hopefully clearer by the day

A lot of times when I post about gender violence, people respond saying women should carry guns and shoot men who try to abuse and assault them. Here’s a brief thread on why I think this is a really bad suggestion

The government was right to welcome Ukrainian refugees fleeing war.

There is only one reason that people in Gaza, displaced by a genocide that our government abetted, are treated differently.

That reason is anti-Palestinian racism.

A flat-lay image showing a crumply green brioche knitted scarf; an in-progress knitted vest in purple yarn, still scrunched on the needles; some yarn in skein form, mini skein form and cake/ball form; a few higgledy-piggledy crochet granny squares in a sage green colour; and some knitted colourwork socks, themed around Lord of the Rings. Two books book-end the photo- one a knitting book with Lord of the Rings themed patterns, and one a collection of short horror stories, written by indigenous authors. An illustration of four girls dancing in the snow, and a T-shirt with "KNIT CROCHET SEW" emblazoned on the front complete the picture.

My January flat-lay, inspired by @marleneknits.bsky.social, Anne at Caprine Cottage, and @whatsmilimaking.bsky.social 💜
