There are some incredible indie sewing pattern creators. At the same time, there are also some who make me want to tear my hair out as they aren't accurate when it comes to the supposed sizing of the end garment. It's such a crapshoot. I need JoAnn Fabric, I'm blowing through my stash of muslin.

I know it's fairly common for those of us with cats to save their shed whiskers, and now I'm wondering what other similar quirky things people who own other kinds of pets do?

The literacy crisis is not just referring to people's ability to literally read and write. It's also people's inability to read for context. I've been a public educator for over 20 years and I have never, ever seen it this bad.

One of the awful things about all this is that pointing out the literacy crisis fuels the rhetoric of the EdTech and testing lobby, who use it to sell more products to districts who then throw books and curriculum out and and make the literacy problem *worse.*

Not everybody knows this, and everybody should. On Sept. 26, 1983, a Soviet nuclear warning system alerted Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov that the U.S. had launched a missile attack. He did not retaliate, preventing WWIII. This is a post about AI. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanisl...

I have a tendency to be a completionist when it comes to video games. I've been playing Blood of the Dawnwalker. There's just too many wolves and it's particularly triggering. So hey, at least the dog attack is keeping me from wasting a lot of time.

If you're a Dem who thinks you'll gain something by going anti-trans, look at Gallup's "most important problem" and Fox News' "most important issue" polling and see where trans issues rank. Whoever told you going anti-trans is a savvy or necessary move spends too much time on X and should be fired.

Gallup polling. "LGBTQ rights" moves between 0 and 1%.

Fox news polling. Wokeness/transgender issues at 0%.

The past 24 hours have reiterated why I am very much a cat person. If you've ever wondered what it's like to be attacked by a 75 pound-ish sized dog with an aggression/territorial problem, I can state from personal experience that it is painful, traumatizing, & I do not recommend it.

I just went through my shoes & realized that over half of them can be described as "quirky take on an oxford with a 2-3 inch heel." I had the realization that I've leaned towards quirky oxfords since high school. I guess this really is kind of a trademark of mine, along with the pixie haircut.

Quilt hanging on a card catalog. Neutral background with navy cursive appliqué “Do you hear thr people sing?” The background is embroidered in red starting light and getting bolder the lyrics to “killing in the name” the quilting effect is a focused sunburst from the center.

I finished playing through Blood of the Dawnwalker this afternoon. While it's imperfect, I will give the writers credit for nailing emotional motivations for characters. Grief, unresolved trauma, self-hatred, guilt, were all played out accurately. Unfortunately, everyone needed Ye Olde Therapy.

I'm flattered that my cat seems to think I can do anything about thunder and/or rain. In his eyes, I'm apparently just not doing my job and I'm just letting this happen. I can't decide if this is flattering that he thinks I have that much power, or if it's an insult that he thinks I'm a fuckup.

Societal shifts do not happen if people are unwilling to take a moral stand/be brave enough to do so. Appeasing the people who want to continue the status quo or make things worse doesn't mean things will improve, it just makes it more difficult in the long run as things become more entrenched.

Trans rights is inherently a bodily autonomy issue. Just like abortion rights is. We can't have gender equity or reproductive freedom without trans rights. Full stop. You can yell at me and make up shit that you claim I've said if it makes you feel better. I don't care. I'm right. And you know it.

Potentially a controversial take, but I don't think that the US on the whole learned a damn thing from 9/11, other than learning just how deep xenophobia really runs in our culture and just how easily manipulated the general public tends to be.

IMO you either believe in civil rights & liberties, or you don't. The rights that trans people are seeking aren't special rights, they are just basic civil rights that are supposed to come with personhood. Anyone against protecting the rights of trans people is someone who is denying them personhood

The longest that any octopus species lives is five years. Consider how quickly they learn. Now, imagine what that would be like if they had a lifespan that matched ours. I think it's probably safe to assume that they'd be the dominant "intelligent" species of earth, not mostly-hairless-apes.

If somebody is throwing around irrational hateful bs as an argument, you don't pretend to go along with it because it gives the argument weight. You're unintentionally giving it/them validation. You're silently telling them they have a real point, instead of reasoning with them or cutting it off.

It fascinates me how people want to immediately excuse behaviors if it's "their team", politically speaking. Just because the other party may be bad doesn't mean yours is automatically good. Everyone can suck here. We all need to step back and hold "our team" accountable, just as much we do others.

Chartreuse @chartreuse.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

Seems pretty simple, if you are an organization willing to throw the trans community under the bus, you're not actually for equality. You can call yourself whatever the hell you want, but when push comes to shove, either you want everyone treated equally or you don't. You don't get to cherry pick.

We had to cut the cats off when it came to treats, because they're fat, but also because the orange one throws tantrums if he thinks there's a chance he'll get a treat. With that said, I'm considering maybe getting a small box of treats & only giving them to the cats when the weather radio goes off.
