Proof that the concept of "good stress" is real: I have too many books checked out from the library, not sure how I'm going to read them all. 📚 😊

Then something about the combo of makers/experts and a supportive yet cutthroat (j/k, mostly) community made me feel like I could start exploring what kinds of things work for me and it turns out I really like adding an item or two to what I'm wearing just because it's pretty. Who'd have guessed?

Look at my pretty from @peculiarityshop.bsky.social! I'd honestly never been a jewelry person, I think it's something I never learned or was taught to make space for. But someone shared this shop into my feed awhile back and I found myself 100% NEEDING a necklace Becky made.

I know it's early for the holidays but I think I like this little ornament. Goal is to make about 50 for my mom to give out when she visits nursing homes with her senior choir in December (hence the early start). #Craftsky, any suggestions for hanging? I was thinking maybe gold embroidery thread.

Gmail just "suggested" a full text of an email reply to my 10-year-old niece, who is deep in plans to start her own baby-sitters club in a few years and wants help choosing the name. Has any technological advancement ever missed the good parts of being a person so completely?

Centrists cannot bring people on the left "back in line." They have to quit it with this rhetoric. If they treat people on the left as a greater enemy than Trump, the thing that is going to happen is that people on the left will fucking fight them tooth and nail. Include me in that number.

First time trying the honeycomb technique in quilling. I think this might be what it feels like to be a mad scientist? I already have 20 ideas for how to do it differently next time. This experiment will find a happy home with the cat-obsessed daughter of a very-allergic-to-cats friend.

I'm so glad you like it! I was kind of worried the bookmark was silly, but I wanted you all to have a little auction keepsake even if you send the card to someone else! (Plus, once I started making tiny hearts, I couldn't stop.)

Important update: I have met an alpaca named Cinnamon. (I met many alpacas but Cinnamon most stole my heart.) I bought some of her yarn and now need to find a crochet project simple enough that I can't mess it up.

A reddish brown alpaca lays on the floor of a barn with her legs tucked under her. She is very cute. There are a few other alpacas in the background, but Cinnamon is the star.

Came home from mailing my @romancingthevote.com items to find that the item I won had arrived while I was out! I love it!

Lorenzo Salgado Araujo was a father and business owner who lived in the US for over 30 years. On Tuesday, an ICE agent shot and killed him on his way to work. Join us Sunday to honor his life—and to recommit to dismantling an immigration enforcement system that sees human lives as expendable.

Candlelight vigil for Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, murdered by ICE. Sunday, July 12, 8-9pm in McKeldin Plaza.

During the auction, I was so proud that I spent exactly $1 less than the budget I'd given myself. Got this email and decided within literal seconds that the auction budget only counted during the auction dates and that I was free and clear to say Yes. That's right, right?

WE DID IT! We've raised $100,000 for voting rights, and it hasn't even been a full day. Thank you all so much--now let's see what we can do over the next four days!

So when you lecture us, know that it is your base you're lecturing, not some nefarious outsiders. We will support the people who we believe won't betray our trust. The Democratic Party can become those people or lose to them, a lot of us no longer care which.

ErinFia ❌👑 @erinfia.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

I started volunteering for Dems when I was still in elementary school. I have been a registered Democrat for almost 30 years. I doorknock, I phone bank, I ActBlue like I'm tithing. And when I needed the party to protect me and the people I care about most, many of you politely declined.

The angel on my shoulder wants you all to bid as much as possible on it because a) democracy! and b) it will make her so happy. 😇 The devil on my shoulder wants you to ignore it completely so I can bid on it and keep it for myself. 😈

I'm an aspiring @romancingthevote.com auction donor. Here's a first version of a quilled card pattern I worked out today. Some kinks to work out, but what do we think, does it have potential?

A handmade top-fold card. The pattern is a floral wreath and the flowers are made out of thin strips of paper.

Yes, this! We can no longer prevent these deaths but we can make sure they're not forgotten. And maybe keep others safe by letting Elon and his ilk know that they can't just do things like this and then wait for the outcry to blow over.

It’s never going to be easy to rewrite how you exist in this world. These systems were made to make us too tired to do anything but continue on like a shark: keep swimming or die. It may require sacrifices of your peace or your power. In time, though, you’ll find new sources of peace and power.
