I’m uncomfortable with so many people saying, “Well she signed a contract months ago saying she would terminate, so she shouldn’t be allowed to change her mind.” I realize she isn’t particularly sympathetic, but please think about the implications of that attitude toward bodily autonomy!

Now that Dr. Abdul El-Sayed has won the primary, i think he needs to begin addressing the concerns of people who are extremely racist against him

Let's not beat around the bush, here: they're trying to paint Abdul El-Sayed as a misogynist simply because he's Arab.

As a caveat, I understand that humid heat is more dangerous in every way. I am just telling you, it does not actually feel like 109*! And if you come to the desert, you will be punched in the face by the “dry heat”.

Last week I was in Arkansas when it was 95*. The “feels like” was 109*. As a native Arizonan, I feel qualified to tell you the “feels like” was a lie. A muggy 95 doesn’t feel anywhere near as bad as an actual 109*!

For me, the really glaring bit was the total lack of any real religious community. The close communities are a big reason why I think these women are so good at social media—they don’t have to learn to perform for an audience because they’ve already been doing it every day of their lives!

Yesteryear fell kind of flat for me. I would like to read a take on tradwives from a deconstructed member of one of these high-demand religious communities. Because, as someone raised on the inside, I haven’t read one yet that reads as authentic.

My latest sewing project has proven VERY CONTROVERSIAL. I’ve never gotten as many compliments from strangers, but also people coming up to me just to tell me they hate it (good-naturedly). Loosely inspired by the Schiaparelli ant suit, but without any of the artistry and much more kitsch.

I have a father and mother in law in Iran. I have a sister in law. A niece. She's 14. She likes silly pink headbands and purses and dresses, just like kids her age all over the world. There are 93 million people like her in Iran. People who do all the normal mundane life things as the rest of us.

It was the top comment on a podcast about Iran this morning and I let out one of the longest sighs I have ever sighed. It’s also weirdly the exact same annoying people who were calling it a QAnon conspiracy theory 2 years ago??

Is it better to upcycle or donate clothing? I have a bunch of button up shirts in good condition. They don’t fit me anymore and the fit isn’t trendy. Is it better for me to cut them up and quilt them into something new or donate them?

In a likely deadly move, the Israeli government told 37 foreign aid groups, including Doctors Without Borders, they could no longer operate in Palestine. Where is the outrage? Read the latest from @dianabuttu.bsky.social zeteo.com/p/israel-aid...

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

I know in Spanish cultures your children usually inherit the first surname of each parent. I guess I’m wondering what you do if you hyphenate primarily for “fight the patriarchy” reasons??

Aisling @romcomapologist.bsky.social · 03/12/2025
How do second generation hyphenated names work? Like if you were born into a family with a hyphenated surname, and then you got married and had children, and wanted to continue the tradition of hyphenating, which name(s) do you drop?

I recently went on a trip where I decided embroidering whales on a sweatshirt was the perfect thing to do on the plane. #embroidery
A navy blue sweatshirt with the outline of a humpback whale embroidered at the collar, a sperm whale on one arm, and a narwhal and beluga whale on the other arm. All the embroidery is very light blue.The detail of humpback whale embroidered on a navy blue sweatshirt. The embroidery thread is very light blue.An orca embroidered on the back left of a navy blue sweater. The embroidery details are done in very light blue.

I’ve looked into it a bit and it’s about $600 to get started. So maybe needle-felting in the meantime.

My first bead embroidery project is done! It was a lot of trial and error, picking out beads and trying again. The cow looks nothing like I initially wanted it to and the star was a last minute decision. But I still like it!
A white and brown spotted cow jumping over a purple moon. There is also a small yellow star. The whole thing is made out of beads. The back of a bead embroidery brooch. There’s a pin and a gray felt backing.

If liberals took all the rage they have for nonvoters & started actually fighting fascism with it, we'd really be somewhere. But they can find nothing better but to blame the people for a rigged system where we had one choice against someone who should've been disqualified & she was doing genocide.
