Saw a girl on another site ask if it’s ok to tell a fat person at the gym that you’re proud of them. I need you to know I will perceive this as a threat and you better tighten your core because I will bench you to assert dominance.

There is a specific joy (gender) that I get from acting like a tough guy and puffing my chest when I talk about anxiety as "workin' myself into a fuckin' tizzy"

My 4th ever quilt! Self drafted pattern made up of 9 patches and friendship stars, rn she’s 72x96”, fit for a twin! Time to baste, quilt and bind, hopefully before Saturday and the county fair deadline!

Progress on my first self drafted quilt pattern! All of the blocks are sewn, I still have to press and trim a bunch so obviously I just pieced what I had because I’m impatient. #quilting #selfdrafted

if you look at previous primaries in these same seats, the voter turnout was nearly half of what it was in 2026. DSA massively increased voter turnout!

It is a scientific fact that there are always a minimum of two wolves inside of you at any given time. Right now, for instance, mine are playing snowboard kids 2 on the n64.

Bluesky is such a weird bubble. People here are not eager to sacrifice their children to ba'al - something extremely popular in the group chat, on X the everything app, and in Ohio diners

My body is actively pissing me off. What do you MEAN the conditions that I have are in fact disabling and I can’t just power through them?? And it gets worse if I try??? I can’t bootstrap my lungs into functioning???? Sounds like bs to me.

Truly love Bluesky where there is a days long discourse over a niche kink posed as a “some men are doing” thing. Like yes some are but they’ve been doing it for a while, nothing new lmaooo

Every time I see a post from Mayor Mamdani, there is an inevitable comment “I just want him to be our president”. I think this could do with some reframing. Mamdani has shown in his first 100 days (and beyond) what material change looks like for people at a local level.

I did 5 full designs this weekend (posted the other previously). Really enjoying both dyeing projects and cyanotypes and making some plans to combine the two this summer. Fabric dyeing is the best excuse to get outside imo

Been a minute since I’ve painted with acrylics and I hate to say it but turns out value mapping your reference and transferring it to your paper does in fact make the process way easier 😅 So pleased with the result! #surfacedesign #acrylicpainting #darkandmoody

Hi so my sister is my favorite person ever for so many reasons. One of them is that she works a corporate job and has vendor/client dinners where her reps take the team out. Typically these dinners would be super bougie, high budget, lots of alcohol and fairly late nights.

Finished the Pitt yelling at the tv as per usual, ER auto played, as it does aaaaand it was the helicopter episode. That’s enough tv for the week.

Find you a nonbinary that can do both (textures and illustration) First is my fabric dying projects spring-I-fied and the second is a work in progress of a little illustration piece

A lovely day for fabric dying. Still have a lot to learn, like how this ended up blue instead of green

Pitt spoilers ahead: The way Dr. Robby talked to Mohan about geriatrics just goes to show how much Al Hashimi was genuinely recognizing her aptitude vs Robby who was using it as ANOTHER dig.

Taking a class where we are discussing the fabric dying technique of shibori. I have to stop myself every single time because I keep almost calling it shibari. Anyways I’m cool and normal.

I wasn’t aware that the cursed IP from the transphobe is being turned into a mini series. Saw the trailer while rewatching the Pitt and briefly remembered being a kid and frustrated by how much of the story had to be cut to fit the runtime and how excited I would have been for this.

I thought I was finally getting reality TV until I talked to a friend and realized that other people don't watch Below Deck to compare management styles.

Last week my furnace died so I've been using a space heater to keep warm. The guy who came out warned me that sometimes they can use too much power without tripping the breaker and cause the wires to melt, since I'm in an older house, I've been so paranoid about it.

I love painting flowers that feel like a kids book from the 50s One of these days I’ll start using gouache again but I’m so lazy, I love having a single supply lol

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer. In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.
