Chomp chomp!

As always, my cross stitch patters are free to download and stitch, but donations appreciated. These two patterns, like most of my patterns, are beginner friendly and made entirely of full stitches - no partials, back stitches, or knots. #ArtIsResistance ko-fi.com/stressstitch...

They're a little big, probably fit a 8x10 frame best, but I love the fancy font at the top. Might make a nice pillow on 14 ct cloth, if you can sew! Maybe I'll also do easier-to-frame versions eventually.

As is typical, I vent my anger through cross stitch patterns. Here are the first 2 in what may be a series: And the Lord said... with my interpretations of what the God I grew up believing in would say to those who justify atrocities with their faith.

Oh, Mellie, that’s so scary! (You have someone professional you can talk to, yeah?) Can you borrow a friend’s large dog for sleepovers for awhile? Just the presence/bark is a threat, even if the dog is actually very gentle - our Labrador retrievers made people wary

I doubt it will ever get THAT complicated!

I love LoudPanda. I want to keep playing her heists at each con I'm at with @toastyseahorse.bsky.social to see how her world expands. It's such a delightfully silly crime filled world as she lives paycheck to paycheck in the logical(ish) future of the gig economy

I gave a task two difficulty levels in #OCB2nd. @ayvalentine.bsky.social and @clarkvalentine.bsky.social both got five successes on their individual tasks, so they were able to escape undetected.

Security was a little preoccupied with a car blasting Blue Dress on the property.

Never sacrifice clarity for the sake of word count, especially if that clarity is in another book! (So I’m officially agreeing with you here)

We had so much fun! Perfect game for a few quietish hours at a con - quick set up (character & setting personalization), streamlined play experience, played on a table in the lobby with no problem. And crowd funding creative nonviolent but effective vigilante justice might have a future? 😜

Less than 14% of the 400,000 immigrants arrested by the Trump regime in the last year had charges or convictions for violent crimes.

It was never about going after the “worst of the worst.” It was always about terrorizing communities.

Democrats must refuse to fund this cruelty.

Again, without any normal kinds of protection and at ridiculous speeds “Here’s a kid’s snowsuit and a good helmet. Have fun!”

National Zoo welcomes first Asian elephant calf in over 25 years The Smithsonian’s National Zoo welcomed a rare new addition on Monday, a female elephant calf, marking the zoo’s first elephant birth in more than 25 years.

I don’t fully understand mixed doubles curling, but I love it! We ordered a TV package for this month that gives us a lot of access so we can always move away from not-actually-sports coverage

Governor-hopeful Stacy Garrity says she’d work with Trump administration on Pa.’s elections Republican gubernatorial hopeful Stacy Garrity said Friday afternoon that she would cooperate with President Donald Trump’s administration in running Pennsylvania’s elections.

If this doesn't disqualify Stacy Garrity from ever getting near the PA Governor's seat, I don't know what does.

Garrity intends to hand PA elections over to Trump.
Not no but hell no, ma'am.

They really are! Do this thing but with lethal blades on your feet. Do this thing but basically unprotected at speeds humans were never meant to go. Everything but faster and deadlier and colder.

I’m glad I can mostly tune it out, but sometimes it’s a near thing. I wonder how loud it is on site? In the Women’s Big Air it looked like the drone almost got in the way a few times - that can’t be helpful!

Probably to shoot down those noisy drone cameras

It’s so annoying! I wonder if the athletes hear it

Q: How much is the NFL paying Bad Bunny for the privilege of playing football during and after his concert?

Democratizing the arts looks like universal income, low-barrier grants for both emerging and working artists, well-funded municipal arts & recreation programs, vibrant third spaces, and a well-funded public school system with progressive curriculum.

Not a free pass for corporate-owned slop engines.

To reject the US as a fundamentally American country with a deep shared history and commonality with the rest of the Americas, including that Spanish has long been our de facto national second language, is on a deep level anti-American. It's hating actual American culture and history and tradition.

Macbeth: So long as nobody was from their mother's womb untimely ripped we're good.

If, when you look at this, you don’t think “This is part of the America I want” I don’t think we have a whole lot in common
