This is such a niche post but I know there are others raised in the Message or Message-adjacent here ;-)
A screenshot from Facebook with a photo of a tuxedo tabby on the left, with a blurry mezuzah overhead, and a photo of an asshole in a suit on the right, with a blurry light fixture overhead. Text reads: Unless you were raised in the Message, or Message adjacent, you will have no idea why this photo of my husband's cat with my mezuzah over her head cracked me up so much.
For those of you unfamiliar with William Branham (a preacher who kicked off the whole 'faith healing' movement), those who believed he was the prophet or Elijah or even Jesus also believed the photo on the right was an 'angel of the lord' over him instead of, uh, a light fixture? duh?
My childhood church was inspired by him but we weren't full Message adherents, so we didn't have that photo in the church or in our home, but I certainly saw it a fair number of times.
Which is why, when I noticed my mezuzah over Philophrosyne's head at the same angle....I lost it.
If only my dang ethics weren't so strong, I am fairly certain I could convince people she was a Magical Cat. 😛

Decided to binge Leverage:Redemption last night and of course my hands needed to be occupied while I did so. I might have been watching Leverage, but I was thinking of Bridgerton with the last two 🤷🏻‍♀️😁 It has a very distinctive look. #CraftSky
5 buttons in a 4 photo grid. 
1: Pale yellow, medium light green, and burgundy in a striped 18 point star
2: Sky blue, mauve, medium light green, and glittering teal
3: Rusty yellow, spice, russet, and deep sky blur
4: 2 buttons in different sizes with bright yellow, sky blue, and deep rose

However my husband *is* rewarded with favours from me when he actually remembers to mention that kind of conversation (it wasn't until overhearing others talk that I realized just how often he speaks up <3 )

Oooof yeah that time I named a pedophile in power in a church, and his father-in-law who was covering up for him, and got told that the older man was nearing the end of his life and I didn't need to be 'tarnishing his legacy' by speaking out...

This particular Chonky Wench, Philophrosyne, knows that if I try to remove her from my embroidery floss then all she has to do is tattle to Dad-Hooman when he gets home from work. (Uh, that's maybe half of my floss? Whoops.) #CraftSky #CatSky
A very fat tuxedo tabby sits in a clear plastic bin nearly full of embroidery floss, staring at me with not-at-all-innocent green eyes.The same cat is now curled into a ball, making biscuits, and radiating smugness as she settles in for a nap on what is NOT HER BED.

As I found myself reassuring the human next to me in the ER “The doc on tonight is great, unlike the one that diagnosed a ruptured ovarian cyst as Vaginal Tendonitis” I thought “Vaginal Tendonitis is my Barnacle Pigeon” and at least @tkingfisher.com fans here will understand 😑🤷🏻‍♀️😆

Related: I was raised in a Christian cult (Branhamite/Message adjacent, IYKYK) and women were forbidden to wear slacks/jeans. A coworker asked 19yo me if I'd noticed she was wearing pants (yes?) & asked me if she was going to hell for doing so. Me: I am flattered, but you have me confused with God?

I am an incest survivor - that ick ran in the family until I broke ties, and the cycle. But, like, even my first cousin (who never assaulted me) got angry at my 16 year old self for refusing mouth kisses, because 'that's how we greet family'. Now I gotta go brush my teeth again.

"We all have love for children. That's what usually gets people into supporting Tr*mp." ^ Watching "Four Hours at the Capitol" and that quote sure hits different right now. I mean...I agree with the premise, but that proud boy prolly didn't mean it that way. At least I hope not.

I am actually grateful for social media today. If you are under 25, you are getting a more honest accounting of the post 9/11 era than I got about the post-Vietnam era than I did as a young person. I attribute this 100% to social media. Traditional media and US politicians cannot be counted on.

Took a political survey call for the lulz. Was asked to rate my 'approval' of DJT on a scale. Me: I wish his imaginary burly firemen had really been there and really carried him right on out of the rest of our lives. Caller: .... "I'll put that as 'Strongly Disapprove'"

I often shorthand my childhood as "I grew up in a cult too racist for Jim Jones" because my Branham-inspired church, while technically NOT a "Message" church, was Latter Rain/Foursquare, and cited Branham often. JJ broke with Branham over the Klan ties/racism. Pattern recognition is a helluva curse.

I don't often cry, but 9/11 - like October 7! - is a day when I allow the memories to come. May all of their memories - the innocents on board each flight, those in the towers, those in the Pentagon, those killed in the neverending wars that followed - be for a blessing.

Doesn’t everyone whip up a pendant or two for Rosh Hashanah? 😆✡️🍯🍎 #CraftSky
Two 1” pendants rest on a woman’s palm. Both are thread-wrapped designs in lime green, deep fuschia, and teal. One is worked over a copper washer, and the other over silver. Both have a brass hexagon in the centre with a Magen David in the same colours.

As someone whose mother told me "I hated you from the minute I knew you were on the way" and who frequently bragged to folks about all the times she beat me (Never more than 3 hours at a time though!) this thread hits home, pardon the pun.

When I bought my son’s magnet from @vaspider.gay of course I bought one for me 😌 It’s now my crafting tool holder, thanks to an industrial magnet and a wee bit of superglue! #CraftSky
An enamel pin with Pirkei Avot 2:16 - You need not complete the work, but neither are you free to desist from it - surrounding a globe. Tikkun Olam is superimposed over the bottom of the globe, written in Hebrew. The same pin as before, now with some needles, unicorn scissors, and a steel netting shuttle loaded with thread.

Much like backstitching adds definition to cross stitch, a few simple outline stitches make the design pop in #Button making, as well! #CraftSky
A Magen David pendant in pan flag colours of pink, blue, and yellow. The pink star is outlined in yellow and if y’all think I didn’t deliberately play up the colours with which Hitler would have tagged my son you do not know me at all.

Decided to combine inkle weaving and handmade buttons with one of my other preferred hobbies, reading 😁 The book is Swordheart by @tkingfisher.com - and I have read it multiple times. I read, on average, 500 books/year. To re-read shows just how great this one is! #CraftSky #BookSky
3 images of a handmade bookmark. The band is woven in stripes of sky blue, royal blue, burnt umber, tan, and rusty orange. A thread-wrapped button in the same colours serves as a clasp. There are brass ribbon ends on the bookmark, one with an orange elastic through it. It closes around a hardbound copy of Swordheart.

Okay, #CraftSky, I need pricing help for these badge holders :D (I'm not selling these online, only locally, so this isn't a sneaky salespitch, I swear.) Handmade buttons, on retractable badge holders - I know I won't get my time, but what CAD amount should I ask for?
3 retractable badge holders - blue, purple, and translucent yellow - each with a handmade button. 1. Blue and Yellow sunflower-esque design. 2. Shades of purple, pinks, and coral in a Magen David. 3. Lime, Highlighter yellow, deep sky blue, and royal purple in an 8-point star design.
