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

They are wearing a gray T-shirt and photographing the fit in a bedroom sewing workspace.Two pant leg pieces in tropical leaf fabric lying side-by-side on the floor. One leg has a completed zipper pocket visible on the upper thigh area. A sewing instruction sheet is partially visible above the pieces.A piece of tropical leaf–print fabric with a small zipper already sewn in. 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 ☺️

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.

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 🧵

People want AI to be perfect despite humans (who it learned from) being far from perfect. But you have to use it to learn when it can help you be more efficient versus when it’s more trouble than it’s worth

No surprise that a man whose companies filed for bankruptcy six times lacks economic prowess—it just sucks that now the U.S. and its citizens are the “company” he’s running into the ground.

Wisconsin Supreme Court election results: Susan Crawford defeats Brad Schimel in most expensive judicial race in US history
Crawford's victory cements liberal control of the court until at least 2028 and marks a defeat for President Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk.

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.

Across the country, lawmakers are trying to erase trans people—but no law can change the truth: trans people are real, and their lives matter. This Trans Day of Visibility, we affirm their right to exist, to be seen, and to thrive. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Trump is working to take away Medicaid from so many who need it. And while that’s no bueno, I can’t lie—there’s a certain satisfaction in knowing millions of his own supporters will be affected. Actions have consequences. ✌️

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...
