@goodtrailcams.bsky.social on a popular bike trail. How many kittens can you spot?

Trail cam footage of a cougar and kittens walking on a autumn trail. The forest floor is littered with leaves and there are pine trees with needlessly on the branches. The kittens are small and have black spots on a yawns coat.

@goodtrailcams.bsky.social here are some baby elks from the south kootenays. We always have an issue where the adults lick our trail cams and they tilt down, but sometimes it's a gift.

Two baby elks looking out of frame. They look much like fawns (tan with spots) but they have darker ears and noses. They are standing on some green understory plants and the adult elk's back legs are in the top left corner.

Nettle fibre update: I finished breaking the nettle down and now I have a container of fibre that needs to be cleaned up and combed. A member of the guild I'm in has been growing and working with flax for the past few years, so her advice has been incredibly helpful.

A rolling pin, an unprocessed nettle with fibre sticking off it, a pile of left over nettle bits and a tubberwear full of fluffy nettle fibre

A close up of the nettle fibre. It is a silvery greeny colour, and some parts of fluffy while others are more plant like and curly. There are bits that need to get picked out still.

My friend picked up this mystery fibre from a thrift store for me. Its a colour way I'd have never picked for myself but I couldn't say no to $7 fibre (i think its wool and bamboo with some tinsel?). It was a lot of fun to spin, I think im going to save it for weaving next year.

A brightly colored braid of fibre. Like every colour is in there

The same fibre spun into a chunky yarn, I really can't begin to describe these colours

Rocky Horror Picture Show was the first movie that made me feel not alone in my queerness. It showed me the queer community had room for us freaky lil weirdos who weren't represented elsewhere. I literally cried the first time I watched it. RIP Tim Curry, forever my role model.

Stinging nettle fibre update: I'm calling the retting on this batch done? The gunky stuff is a soft fibre and I started losing it when changing the water (the smell gets bad, just a heads up). Im letting this dry out now before breaking it down more manually.

Inspired by @adriftalchemist.bsky.social to post my berry picking photo. My Nana has a famous blackberry jam recipe that I follow to a T, and it makes everyone in my family and friend group so happy when they receive a jar. I made her this blackberry shawl to thank her for sharing the recipe.

Final Tour de Fleece tally: 450g not sure about meters. Everything here is from two sheep at the sanctuary where I volunteer. Additionally I finished cleaning and skirting all the fleece from them and have gotten a fair amount of carding done.

Two black double ply yarn balls, one black and tan double ply ball, one triple ply black and white skein, and two white single ply balls.

When I was putting these large stalks in my largest container, I broke some fibres. I remembered this blog post on Kwakwaka'wakw Nimpkish Nettle Beaters, so I'm going to try to go over them with a rolling pin which will hopefully keep the fibres intact. grantkeddie.com/2025/06/nett...

Three nettle beaters. They are made of wood, have short single handed handles, and curved paddled shaped heads with grooves.

The other side of the nettle beaters, on the back side of the paddle shaped head are decorative carvings.Two feature a hand design and one features a bird (owl?) design.

Now that tour de fleece is over (final tally to come) I'm going to try my hand at nettle fibre. In northern areas where flax was not easy to come by, nettle was a popular alternative. This nettle patch has completed its seed cycle and is in a mowing area, so i'm collecting these 5-6 foot stalks.

A local woodturner made these two bobbins for my Canadian Production Wheel. I may be able to spin on her before tour de fleece is over! (I snagged the wheel at auction in June and the only repairs she needed was her bobbin and a bit of leather that holds the bobbin.

Tour de fleece: I decided to try spinning Lincoln's fleece and it's delightful so far. His locks were short but they are sticking to each other well. In the picture below he is eatting with Rosie the goat and Lola the skudde.

Btw, I own none of my spinning or carding equipment. I rent it all from the Mission Weavers and Spinners Guild (for the low price of a $35 annual membership fee). If you live in an area with guild, I highly recommend joining. If not for the rental than the community and immense talent.

Tour de fleece: today I am carding Lincoln's wool in the garden. The difference between the cleaned fleece vs the raw wool is satisfying. In the picture below lincoln is waiting to be sheared.

Tour de fleece update: spinning this Suffolk I got from someone moving. It has lots of little bits in it making it a bit annoying to spin, but hoping that when I dye it they look like flecks. When you're learning you can't say no to free fibre

Most of my tour de fleece has been spent processing this fleece from Lincoln at the sanctuary I volunteer at. I've also been spinning fleece from Maggie who also lives at the sanctuary.

If you dont want to spend $50+ on a travel dog bed, you can always make one from a thrifted comforter for less than $10. Just fold it into a square, roll the edges over and sew them down. Use a tough thread & long embroidery/upholstery needle. Easy to clean and store too.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

Thinking about this quote from Persepolis creator Marjane Satrapi again.

Picture of Marjane Satrapi alongside a quote from her. The quote reads:

The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don't know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you.

And our governments are very much the same...

- Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French graphic novelist
