The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

Trump promised no “new stupid wars,” yet he’s starting one with Venezuela without congressional approval. People can’t afford groceries and millions are losing healthcare, but this is where his focus is. This is unconstitutional and not what the American people asked for.

You ever start a cosplay in 2021, get it wearable in 2024, and then finish it in 2025? Uhhh yeah who does that 😬 Anywho, I got Summoner Yuna photos back!!! I won Best Journeyman! Outdoors photos from Carnivorous Sheep Photography and stage photo from Saurlokphotography

Reminder we can always upgrade or fix a costume! I had to rush Summoner Yunas shirt last year to get her wearable in time. I completely deconstructed her and am now properly finishing her. #finalfantasy #cosplaymakers #cosplaywip #summoneryuna #cosplay

the good thing about being a cosplayer is that everyone will offload spare craft supplies and fabric onto you the bad thing about being a cosplayer is that everyone will offload spare craft supplies and fabric onto you

It takes some creative problem solving, but even details builds can be done on a budget. As you can see about half of the material was from my stash and half was purchased for this build. Saving and using scraps, thrifting material, repurposing wigs, it all helps reduce cost #cosplaymakers

Starting to get photos back from a recent photoshoot! I normally don’t play with saturation and I love the editing choice! Really proud of the squeaky clean details on the cape! Wizardmon patterned and made entirely by me (minus gloves) 📸 Photostartay (insta) #cosplay #digimon #cosplaymakers

Cosplayers are shape shifters 😂. Who are these divas? It’s me! Really excited to continue growing and competing. I had a bad experience when I first started competing in 2017/2018 and took a long break from it. I have grown and started competing again last November and again this March.

I checked out a baby con and debuted my Wizardmon cosplay. I competed and was bumped from novice to win best master 😭❤️ i am excited to continue upgrading him and bring him to a larger con to compete at the journeyman level!

Dumb problems require dumb solutions. The main cape is too heavy for the capelet to support on its own. The solution? A clasp sewn in vertically. One half of the clasp is sewn to the cape and the other is sewn to the outside of the vest. This distributes the weight from my neck to my shoulders.

Today I thrifted 15 continuous yards of pastel fabric for $6 total. That is about 40 cents a yard. I need cosplay/character ideas I can use it for! #cosplay

Due to character limits the actual tutorial is on my insta. I submitted a simple tutorial to this contest for using a Swiffer to make a collapsible prop :) especially great for those who have limited tools/work space! www.instagram.com/p/DHEMh4nAXy...

A friendly reminder to cosplayers and sewist in a post JoAnns world, check your thriftstore often for material. Today I found about 5yards of purple velvet (velvet not crushed velvet) for $6 and 1 yard of pink brocade for $3. Both were found hanging in the linens section. #secondhandfabric #cosplay

Kemp Pain In The Butt @kemppaininthebutt.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Cosplayers trust me when I say start thrifting your fabric! I paid $5.99 for a box of fabric today that contained the following: *5-6 yards pink silky fabric *5-6 yards green transparent fabric *2 different 1 yd red *2yd light green *1 yd yellow *1 yd lime green *1 yd teal *3 usable scraps

watch out for the new Joann’s Scam. if you see an online exclusive sale that’s too good to be true, be careful and double check the full URL. most Joann’s aren’t even offering online shipping anymore. #cosplay #cosplaymaker

This subject is important to me because I know what it is like to be BROKE. Cosplay can be stupid expensive, but it doesn’t have to be. In general, the more complicated the build the more $. There are ways to cosplay on a budget and I am happy to share my tips! #cosplaymakers #cosplaybudget #cosplay

Social media as a cosplayer/artsy fartsy type is such a double edged sword. I love the community building aspect and cherish the online friends. I hate inevitability questioning my own self worth as a cosplayer when the majority of my post on most social media tank (occasionally they do well on ⏰)

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

KNOW YOUR
RIGHTS
IN CASE OF ICE:
CONOCE TUS DERECHOS
EN CASO DE ENCUENTRO CON ICE:

DO NOT OPEN YOUR DOOR.
ICE cannot enter your home without a warrant signed by a judge.
Tell the agents to show you the warrant by sliding it under the door.
NO ABRAS TU PUERTA.
ICE no puede entrar a tu casa sin una orden firmada por un juez. Diles a los agentes que te muestren la orden deslizándola debajo de la puerta.

ASK THEM
TO LEAVE.
If ICE doesn't have a warrant, tell them you do not consent for them to enter your home and ask them to leave. At work, ICE cannot enter employee-only areas without permission.
2
PÍDALES QUE SE VAYAN.
Si ICE no tiene una orden judicial, diles que no das tu consentimiento para que entren a tu casa y pídeles que se vayan. En el trabajo, ICE no puede ingresar a áreas exclusivas para empleados sin permiso.

REMAIN SILENT.
You have the right to remain silent.
If the agents ask you questions, tell them,
"I wish to remain silent."
PERMANECE EN SILENCIO.
Tienes derecho a permanecer en silencio.
Si los agentes te hacen preguntas, diles:
"Deseo permanecer en silencio".

With the demise of Joann’s, there’s lots of recs of WHERE to shop online for fabric but not HOW. I highly rec The Swatch Book and Textilepedia for this — the former with REAL swatches of common fibers and their weave options and the latter for the language and application options to help search.

I am really bad at posting my final cosplays 😬 Here is my own design of Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Basically i thrifted the bedsheets i used to make her dress and thought “dang this has 50s inspired Belle at a tea party energy” and then made it.That is not a joke🤣 #cosplay #cosplaymakers

Social media as an artsy fartsy type is wild. Tiktok algorithm likes me but no other social media algorithm does. Tiktok is very inconsistent with what content it likes/pushes. A reminder our worth is not determined by algorithms its all made up and doesn’t matter 🫡

Based on the state of my local JoAnn’s and the leaked stuff from employees I fear JoAnns will be gone sooner than we thought 😔. I try to use secondhand material as much as possible, but I am still really bummed by this news #sewing

If you have a super long or heavy wig do yourself a favor and invest in a wig band. Makes a massive difference! #cosplaytips #cosplay

A surprising number of sewing troubles can be rectified with a fresh sewing needle or a different sewing needle type. Change your needle friends before you panic while troubleshooting #sewing #garmentsewing #cosplay #cosplaymakers

My dog has decided that she does not poop on ice. Unfortunately our front yard, back yard, and neighbors yards are all ice. I wanna be annoyed, but I also won’t poop on ice 🤷‍♀️

When #GSD owners say these dogs are too smart for their own good this is what we mean. My dog was mad at me for making her come inside to warm up her toes. So she waited until I had ONE contact in to strike. She stole a TP roll and no matter what I did I could only see out of one eye 😂

My unsolicited dog mom advice. If you find a fabric based treat hiding enrichment toy, buy two. That way when your shepturd hands you a wet slimy ball 🤢 as she ask nicely for more snacks, you have a dry ball to work with
