I know it’s just the shadows and highlights, but it almost looks like a color-shifting yarn! (How cool would that be?) It looks great!

Oh no! 😬

So much learning! I like the fabric, though.

Woke up thinking about how 25 years ago I had dial-up internet, a home phone, and no cellphone. Now I have a whole computer / phone / camera / alarm clock that I can take anywhere in my pocket. And I don’t have to pay extra or by the minute for long distance calls!

Massive immigration raid on Chicago apartment building leaves residents reeling: 'I feel defeated' The Department of Homeland Security said federal agents with Border Patrol, the FBI and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives arrested 37 people in the raid.

"Rodrick Johnson, 67, is one of many residents who were detained by federal agents during the South Shore raid. A U.S. citizen, he said agents broke through his door and dragged him out in zip ties."

Use this video to explain the shutdown 😂

What is the book?

A [short] History of U.S. Police & Tear Gas — Interrupting Criminalization A zine by Mariame Kaba that goes over some historical background about U.S. police and their use of tear gas, along with archival photos and documents from Kaba’s collection.

Please enjoy this informative zine from @prisonculture.bsky.social. I hope Gov. Pritzker uses his considerable state power to *make* it not normal, because that would be a first.

Looks great!

Mario Guevara

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you…

Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest.

The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Yes it does. They are sewn shut to protect the garment during shipping and stuff. They should be sewn with long loose-ish stitches that you can snip and pull out to open the pocket. Vents or slits may also be sewn closed.

Turns out it's also on Bookshop.org!!! And they have a full book description so you can click through and read it. Please consider sharing. bookshop.org/p/books/unlo...

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually

📖❤️ NEWS: You can now pre-order my book! "Unlocking Justice confronts America’s unfair legal system with data—and humanity." It's accessible, optimistic, and in the spirit of Ida B. Wells, who said “the way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.” I wrote it for each of you. Also, ⬇️

"Trad influencers gloss this unjust workload as a homage to homesteading (and leverage it to market unsubstantiated remedies) instead of calling it what it is: picking up the state’s slack. Cuts to education seem less threatening when you are convinced your role is to homeschool your children" #NCEd

The industrial warehouse fan over the bed is a choice.

Oh wow! Well I was using my serger one day and I heard a screw drop to the table. Have no idea where it came from. But it hasn’t acted the same since. The knife doesn’t always cut and sometimes extra fabric get pull into the seam and bunches up. Guess I should check it out!

Holy shit.

Monarch butterfly seen today. I have seen so many lately.

Oolong!

I think Joann Fabrics must have sold their email/address list of customers because I am suddenly getting emails and mailings from Michaels.

So disappointed!

Nothing I did would get it to wind. So I found out there is a 90-day warranty and I can get if fixed. Should I get it fixed or should I just return it to Costco? Getting it fixed will take 2-3 weeks.

So I got a 64S Heavy Duty Singer sewing machine from Costco. My old machine is a very basic Kenmore machine that doesn’t seem to do buttonholes, and I want to be able to do buttonholes. I packed up the old machine, set up the new machine, and tried to wind a bobbin, but it wouldn’t!

(I should really read my posts first before just hitting reply. It should say that you did a great job on those rips! But you probably got the gist)

Congratulations!

You did a great job either way those rips!
