Sewed some pants yesterday and I fear I’m already obsessed with them 🌿

A black pocket gusset is clipped around the sides using colorful sewing clips in preparation to stitch the facing down.A set of sewing pattern pieces laid flat on a wooden floor. The pieces are cut from a tropical leaf–print fabric and include pant legs, pockets, a waistband piece, and other small components. Each piece still has the Simplicity tissue pattern pinned on top.

Our little vegan Thanksgiving spread: I made tofu turkey fillets with rice paper “skin,” rosemary-garlic beer bread with corn “butter,” a sweet potato casserole with a sunflower seed, oat, and toasted marshmallow crust, mashed potatoes, and charred sesame-pecan green beans 🤤
A homemade vegan Thanksgiving spread on a wooden table featuring tofu turkey fillets arranged in a row on a white platter, a deep dish sweet potato casserole topped with browned mini marshmallows, a bowl of mashed potatoes, a small dish of corn butter, a skillet of charred sesame green beans with toasted walnuts, and a loaf of rustic rosemary-garlic beer bread sliced open on a navy cloth.

I haven’t shared a sewing project in a minute, but making this little fleece shirt for Chip brought me so much joy ☺️
Chip, a small tan chihuahua mix, lounges on a dark gray couch wearing a handmade fleece shirt with a colorful floral pattern. One paw is perched on the couch armrest, and he’s looking alert and cozy.Chip sits attentively on a textured beige rug next to Ian’s workspace, which has dog-sized clothing pattern pieces cut from colorful fleece. A cutting mat, Simplicity pattern paper, and rulers are spread out on the floor.A close-up of a sewing machine in action as Ian stitches a seam in floral fleece fabric. The fabric is a mix of teal, pink, red, and yellow tones.

hi, cis folks! so, when they release the US cass review that makes the cass review look like a trans liberation manifesto, i think you should • ask who’s making the case against transition • answer whether they have trans people’s best interest at heart • listen to actual trans people instead 🧵

I know it’s early, but I’m really hoping Susan Crawford pulls this off. Also so proud of my mom for voting on the correct side of history—even from a deep red Wisconsin county, surrounded by friends and family likely voting the other way 💙
A partial election results graphic from The Washington Post showing the Wisconsin Supreme Court Judge race. Candidate Crawford leads with 448,807 votes (59.8%) over Schimel’s 301,105 votes (40.2%), with approximately 33% of votes counted. A county-by-county Wisconsin map shows areas where each candidate is currently leading—Crawford in teal, Schimel in orange, and many counties still grayed out as uncounted.

Whenever I’m in NYC, I always stop by the Stonewall Inn and Christopher Park It’s a cornerstone of LGBTQ+ history, where brave trans women like Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera stood up against oppression that can’t be erased We walk—and protest—in the footsteps of those who fought before us 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
A selfie of Ian with short brown hair and facial hair, wearing a lime green tank top with white trim, a gold chain necklace, and a dagger pendant. They are sitting in front of a black wrought-iron fence at Christopher Park adorned with rainbow and trans pride flags. Behind them, a historical plaque featuring a black-and-white photograph featuring Marsha P. Johnson from the early LGBTQ+ rights movement is attached to the fence. Lush green trees surround the area.
