Ooh yes. I’ve used their disassembled duvet covers for backs in the past - they work great. I like that print.

I was just thinking this morning, remembering this old song and how much it meant to my Italian immigrant father - youtu.be/W3RYzVcevrs What happened to that pride in what immigrants have contributed to this country?

The celebration of Juneteenth started in Galveston, but its impact is felt far beyond Texas. Generations of Americans refused to accept that freedom belongs just to some. They understood that freedom is something to cherish, and that each generation must continue the fight for justice and equality.

Tax Day today gives us the chance to imagine a government which works for us - where we invest our shared resources in building the world we seek, rather than funding war or giving handouts to the wealthy buff.ly/RGg6HGM

I'm a stage 4 cancer survivor, and the Affordable Care Act saved my life nine years ago. The ACA and I are both still here. Why are we funding more wars overseas while taking away health care from millions of Americans like you and me? #HealthcareNotWarfare

I think the key word below is “labyrinthian.” That surely is the source of a significant amount of the costs. We certainly aren’t getting real person-reported health benefit outcomes!

Thank you, @indyweek.bsky.social for publishing this story. Quilters might be (mostly?) old ladies, but we always have had voices. It’s not just performative. Despite ageist and sexist tropes, every voice counts.

II Cor 10:3 (KJV) “We do not war after the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds.” — Human warfare is neither moral nor effective. It has been wrong in the Gulf for the last 35 years (and many more).

This is unconscionable. Nursing homes are chronically understaffed. The only way to force the management companies to increase staffing is by state and Medicare regulations (and oversight).

Sometimes you just want to do some stitching. Hand quilting bits of an old panel I had leftover from something else.

One of many reasons we strongly oppose automatic registration for the military draft ⬇️ “This extensive data gathering poses a significant risk of weaponization and misuse, particularly with the potential for targeting the most vulnerable such as immigrant and transgender young adults."

Thank you for persisting and for representing your people. You are a true example of a *professional* nurse advocating for real health care. Caring for the health of the community.

And the worst thing is that they are profiting from foolish women and injured babies. As a sibling of an older adult with CP how could you risk that purposely? Unconscionable. We were grateful he lived, but to choose this?

Who knew! I am both a nurse and a quilter and have not heard of this technique. This study shows promise. I’m so glad it turned up in my #quiltsky feed

Masked ICE agents raided a church in NC on Saturday, causing fear in a place where everyone deserves to feel safe and welcome. “We thought church was safe and nothing [was] gonna happen,” a 15-year-old witness said. “But it did happen.” This must stop. 👇

Worth remembering that the Christian nationalism that fueled the empires in The Great War seeded Europe's turn away from Christianity for the next century. Historically, Christian nationalism is the enemy of true faith. It is a false gospel whose fruits are known mostly in war.

Some idiot in Wisconsin is trying to diss the older folks who were protesting by mocking the nickname "grantifa" -- one I wear proudly. If he thinks that's an insult, he's dumber than I thought. Grandmas will always oppose fascism.

In my stints of organizing some of the most dedicated people to the cause were religious people who felt compelled to the right thing through their faith. Our group held meetings at a Quaker Hall and our actions were often coordinated with local churches and the UU.
