My incredible sister works at a fabric store in Michigan and she made this very easy to follow adaptable pattern for a pride progress flag, sewed from reused scraps. I think the best part is the detailed instruction. seamsfabric.com/products/scr...

I heard that @uwotc-official.bsky.social employees have organized and asked for voluntary recognition but the response from @magic.wizards.com was to hire a union-busting firm. I have loved the game for a long time and it's important to me that Wizards understand the players stand with the workers.

People dismissed the Bluesky Dying discourse, today's intermittent failures should be a real wakeup call. Bluesky has no paying users or ads, it is powered by engagement. Each Like fuels the backend, and if we don't keep above a likes per hour threshold, the servers start blacking out.

Tomorrow morning is a great time to call your reps and tell them to abolish ICE. I wrote a script you can use. And no, this is not a joke, it really is that simple. Find Your Senators: www.senate.gov/senators/sen... Find Your Representatives: www.house.gov/representati...
As one of your constituents, I am telling you to publicly state, in no uncertain terms, that we must abolish ICE, and then follow through by abolishing ICE. Thanks!

Lol. In an interview after he announced he was expecting a child, he literally said that ICE should kidnap children if they can't find their parents. Why would anyone want to be happy for them? I only hope that their child finds someone safer to raise them.

The Hearth (1/21) A sapphic horror comic about witchcraft and hunger in the dead of winter.
An illustrated cover for a short comic called The Hearth by lainey williams. A cabin sits in a clearing in a snowy forest. The small windows in the log cabin are lit yellow and there is a trail of blood through the snow leading to the door. Smoke rises from the cabin’s chimney to surround the title. On either side of the smoke are illustrations in the style of Karelian embroidery, showing stylized geometric patterns in red thread. On the left side embroidery section, there is a depiction of a woman kneeling. her hands are stained red and she wears a headscarf. Opposite her is a woman standing. Instead of a left arm she has a wing. Over the top of the image, two geese shaded in red fly over the cabin and smoke. The trees all around the cabin are shaded in dark blue.

Art of Comics is one of my favorite kinds of podcasts - expert commentary, presented in a way that's so accessible that I learn something each time I'm working my way thru the backlog, reading the books before I listen, and I love the chance to get a second or third angle on some really great books

Socks! I finished my first pair and am now working the next pattern from The Sock Knitting Bible, toe up on circular needles. I decided to jump ahead and do two-at-a-time, hopefully it helps me stay consistent across the pair. This one will be for me.
A partially-completed knit sock, stretched over a hand to show progress. The sock toe is covering the fingers and the knitting stops a little past the halfway point down the palm - the thumb is fully covered.

The toe of the sock is grey and the main body is a full purple. The stitches are tiny and very precise.

The sock is being knit on a nylon circular needle, with another sock next to it on the same loop, so the loop is folded out of the way with half a sock in the corner of the picture.

In the background of the photo is a basket full of more sock yarn, imposing in the staggering amount of work that it represents

I forgot to post about this back when I read it, but here's the blurb I gave my comic book club: Features a bi, sexy redhead with a giant sword, from comic books! There's some spicy scenes and Gail's writing really propels you forward, this feels like an old swords-and-sorcery novel in a good way.
Photo of Gail Simone's book Red Sonja, on a coffee table next to a brown iced drink. The book's cover features a big sword and it has stickers from the library.Text from screenshot:

Gail Simone (X-Men, Deadpool, and Secret Six comic writer of much acclaim) wrote her first novel

Obv it features a bi, sexy redhead with a giant sword who is from comic books

There's some spicy scenes and Gail's writing really propels you forward, this feels like an old swords-and-sorcery novel in a good way. CW sex, death, body horror, childhood trauma, sexism, and more

I need to figure out coping skills for interacting with the parallel world my cis coworkers live in - every time I have to explain news that they never heard, about how trans people are under constant attack, I'm taking psychic damage. At least my coworkers don't tell me I'm imagining things, tho.

More sock knitting progress - I'm about halfway done with the heel and I like how thick and soft it feels. Also spending my downtime leaving voicemails for my senators - use 5calls.org and call yours too, please.
A white hand is holding half a sock on knitting needles. The back flap of the sock is longer and has some knobbly bits sticking out because of the heel stitch. Below the needles are the completed leg and ribbed cuff of the sock. The sock is striped in orange, pink, yellow, purple, and other colors. The project is resting on an open book, open to the pattern for this sock.

I'm exhausted but I spent the better part of the last two weeks learning to knit socks. So even if everything else sucks, maybe I can keep a few feet warm.
Half of a sock, still on the knitting needles. The cuff is ribbed tightly and the yarn changes colors at random intervals, so there are many stripes of various heights, mostly in the red-orange-yellow family.

The sock is held on my fingers to demonstrate size, my four fingers barely fit inside it from the open bottom.

I picked up my new comics and also found some discount scratch & ding graphic novels - I am SO excited for this issue of The Power Fantasy and the store clerk checking me out said this issue of @fellhound.bsky.social's S.I.R. is really great, we might have talked the other clerk into trying it!
2 comic book issues on the floor - S.I.R. #4 has an intense red background and it looks like the character in the foreground is overwhelmed by emotion; and The Power Fantasy #4 has a character sitting morosely on a chair, wearing a long iridescent cape that looks like big wings 2 graphic novels on the floor - Nimona and Animorphs #1
