If I got $5 every time some cis fuckwad in this state told trans people how to feel about things that affect us, I'd be the one buying every god damned election and Ohio would have the majority of elected leftists in the world.

Me: I'm poor, here's proof. Government: You owe more in taxes than you ever have before. Me: Can I get some time? Gov.: Six months Time passes Me: Still poor. Here's proof. Gov.: Fill out these forms to tell us why you're poor. Me: Ok I guess Gov.: We'll think about it for an unspecified time.

Stargazing 5 xkcd.com/3301/
4-panel comic. (1) [Black background with person with shoulder-length hair with raised arms in front in white, with figures in gray in the background.] PERSON 1: Welcome to stargazing! I’m back, despite efforts by astronomers who hate cool space facts to cover me up so I can’t see the sky anymore! Nice try, losers! Next time buy a tarp that’s harder to chew through! (2) [Person looks toward binoculars in hand.] PERSON 1: Now, let’s spy on some stars! Does everyone have binoculars? If you don’t, find someone looking at birds and try to grab theirs. Stars are the birds of the sky. (3) [Close-up on Person but with white background.] PERSON 1: But stars aren’t the only weird lights. Sometimes the sky fills with rippling colors. That’s the sky’s screensaver. It’s very pretty, so don’t move your mouse and ruin it. (4) [Switch back to black background, person points up while figures in background look toward where she’s pointing.] PERSON 1: That blob is a comet. People used to think they were harbingers of doom. We now know they’re boring, so we have to find new reasons to use the word “harbinger.” I’m a harbinger of astronomy! Cool facts are nigh!

ATTENTION BLUESKY! Annie says they are really hoping to boost the number of artists (crew, performers, creative teams, anyone) outside New York who are filling this out to get a broader sampling. If you are in the arts please take a second and fill this out!

It genuinely blows my mind the degree to which people in power do not grasp (or just refuse to acknowledge) that encampments are preferable to shelters for a whole lot of people, for a long list of reasons.

I would really love to not be a political topic. Honestly, I wish I didn't have to think about politics. I hate politics. But I have to follow shit because we're constantly deciding between evil and mediocre. I wish I could trust that the people in charge would have good intent and plans.

Crochet update 🧶 33 rows down (about 8%). I have 10 rows left on the first large flower and 356 rows of the project. So far, I've used around 455.6 feet of crochet thread. I like how the middle of this flower worked out with the little checkerboard motif. Can't wait to get to the second flower.

I have created a pattern for the most ambitious crochet project I will have ever done: a 7-foot long and 1-foot wide table runner with flower motifs surrounded by vines. It will be 389 rows long and 107 stitches wide. The chart is 10 pages long. The shortened written pattern is 14. 🧶

Tested out a filet crochet idea for "half filled" squares and it worked out pretty well! I need to see how it handles blocking, but I definitely like how it looks. 🧶 #Crochet #FiletCrochet #QueerCrochet #Lace #CrochetLace
A crocheted square with wavy sides on a blue background. The square has a solid bored surrounding a mesh with a circle in it. The upper left potion of the circle is made with different stitches givibg it a different appearance from the stitches around it.

This crochet motif took some trial and error because I couldn't figure out what the first round meant. I just did a few rows of sc until the next row worked right. 🧶 #Crochet #CrochetLace #IrishCrochet #QueerCrafter #QueerCrochet
