Spinning! I haven't spun since January because I had built up so much handspun yarn. I had to get it woven up AND build inventory for the market this month. I thought I would start back with some easy bfl that picked up at the fiber festival 2 years ago #fiberarts #spinning #handspun

Yesterday I learned that Atlanta has an NBA basketball team named the Hawks. And the University of Iowa has a women's basketball team named the Hawkeyes. It may be a small thing to learn, but it's very important to some people.

A few years ago I wove up some leftovers of handspun that I had been keeping. Too much yardage to toss and not enough on any one of them to do something with. I felted it and set it aside to use 'eventually". Today was eventually. Now I have a fun, new pillow cover! #fiberarts #handspun #weaving

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

Two more straight shawls. That's it for shawls for now. I am going back to kitchen towels for a bit and maybe some napkins as well. I want to have a good selection for the market in Oct. #fiberart #wearableart #weaving #handspun #handmade

🧵 1. Listen to history on labor day. The Gilded Age (1870s to 1900) laid the groundwork for the triggers of The Great Depression in 1929. Wealth inequality. Weak regulations of banking and markets. Trusts and monopolies. Agricultural overextension. Busts in 1873, 1893. Then... #ProudBlue #Blue #GTS

Taking down a Flock camera means nothing if they replace it with another camera doing the same thing. These Corrupt Bigshots can change the company name all it wants, but Texans still shouldn't have their movements tracked and stored everywhere they drive.

Screenshot of a Jalopnik article headlined, “Flock Cameras Are Coming Down Around The Country Only To Be Replaced By The Same Technology With A Different Name.” The article is by Justin Hughes and dated September 5, 2026.

Let it be said over & over: While Trump will try every trick to scare & intimidate voters from casting their ballots and then lie about the outcome in the aftermath, each of us can help get as many people to the polls as possible & ensure an overwhelming turnout and a massive, undeniable GOP defeat.
