Also, by "bulldozing norms", do you mean "complete disregard for, or consequences from violation of, the law"?

YarnGeek @yarngeek.com · 28/09/2026

Sorry, NPR, this is unclear - By "New York real estate background", do you mean the racist tenancy policies, the complete refusal to pay any contractor ever for anything, the ruination of any taste or historic value, or...?

Straight-passing imposter syndrome aside, I seldom feel as properly enveloped in the queer community as when I get rage-monster-y about pan-erasure when bi-visibility comes around.

I mean, the whole entire reason anyone ever got cable television, then streaming services, was to NOT. HAVE. ADS. If you're gonna foul up every damn thing with advertising, how's about we all go update our home video setups & get back to DVDs?

GOOD NEWS! Phase I clinical trial results out of Johns Hopkins show a first-of-its-kind vaccine designed to target common KRAS mutations was safe AND stimulated KRAS-specific T-cell responses in 90% of study participants who were at HIGH risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Phase I results show early promise for a vaccine designed to prevent pancreatic cancer in people at high risk of developing the disease.

O no, the twitter account I haven't logged into since That Guy bought and tanked the company, has been suspended citing "inauthentic activity". I mean...ok? If there's been ANY activity, it sure as shit was inauthentic, because *I* certainly haven't used it.

I implore of left-leaning folks to abandon the narrative of "working Americans" & shift into "the party for the people" or similar, because a) more Americans than ever HAVE no work through no fault of their own and 2) WORK. DOES NOT. DEFINE. WORTH.

“it’s reasonable to ask questions about trans girls in sports” was always intended to mainstream transphobia. It’s absurd that people fell for it. Democrats are constantly letting oppressors set the terms of debate instead of just saying “no, fuck you.”

(I hate/acknowlege that it is probably ominous that it is this wildly different, owing to the climate crisis and every other dang thing. But given that generally things are just awful most places, I want to just bask in how beautiful it is outside this moment.)

I cannot remember a summer as beautiful, weather-wise, as this one has been. I've lived here in the general area all my life, and generally we get 2-3 months of actual swampy, high-humidity, high-heat summers. This has been breezy, relatively cool, with gorgeous thunderstorms here & there.

Meanwhile, the opposition is preparing to set the football holders, us, and the literal entire earth on fire, planning to jet off to Mars afterward because they care so little for anyone but themselves, so the only option any of us has is to vote for the yoinked pigskin, & THIS IS WHY WE RAGE.

YarnGeek @yarngeek.com · 29/07/2026

Dems have had power enough to have made significant beneficial changes for the nation a few times in the last decade, & they chose not to use it - & now they're holding the proverbial football for voters & promising that NO REALLY *this time* they're not gonna yank it away, just vote them in!

YarnGeek @yarngeek.com · 29/07/2026

To see how relieved, largely happy, & grateful benefited folks in NYC have been for the fast, decisive action happening there, & to decide that what the party *really* should do is try to distance themselves from that? That's why they keep losing. That's why we're ALL losing. It's rank stupidity.

YarnGeek @yarngeek.com · 29/07/2026

This right here is exactly why Dems *won't* win back working class voters - because so-called "progressive" action is exactly what would give those voters everything they want & need. It's WILD to me how much resistance Dems put up on this, *especially* after watching how Mamdani has been moving.

Hey @asterionhex.monster here’s some recent art-o’-th’day:

Watercolor of a brown tabby kitty on burgundy leather hassock

Watercolor painting in rainbow blended background, with a J.R.R. Tolkien quote lettered over top: “There is a place called Heaven where the good here unfinished is completed, and where the stories unwritten and the hopes unfulfilled are continued. We may laugh together yet.”

Two small watercolor paintings, rainbow backgrounds with lettering. One reads, “what if it all works out?” In white lettering; the other reads “darling - you’re gonna be okay.” In black lettering.

Watercolor study of desk items - a stapler, a glue stick, and a ruler.

Update: see this? Two layers of this, preferably pull-up like a tackle box, but just magnetize-able layer also fine - just, no gaps. Wall to wall hexies with half-wells by the walls. Am I gonna have to teach myself 3D modeling? UGH

A mint tin, held open to show 20 hexagonal watercolor pans tucked into the tin.

there are a TON of inserts around out there, in so many configurations...but weirdly (to me, hexagon-obsessed as I am) none of them seem to have hexagon interiors and I COVET THEM.

YarnGeek @yarngeek.com · 22/07/2026

Friends who do 3D printing: Has anyone/could anyone print me a 2-level altoids tin watercolors insert, where a 3/4 lower layer is just hexagons for paint wells from wall to wall, and the 1/4 upper layer is a multi-well mixing surface with 3 or more mixing wells? (Maybe even multi-well bee shape?)

Thank you for this one!

A quick pencil sketch of a person’s lower legs, wearing a pair of Hunter rain boots. The left boot has a lace tied around the ankle draping off to one side that seems like a trip hazard, but looks cool in the pic.

Original photo sketch was taken from, of a model wearing the cream-colored rain boots.

Love Galen leather generally, and that is a brilliant idea for that circular nib case. There's a bunch of vendors making palm quires, but none using leather that nice or as good as what Shep uses.

The moment learn you have a nazi tattoo is five minutes before you show up at the nearest tattoo studio begging to get it covered up, doesn't matter with what, maybe a big black box with MOM in the middle, just hurry. If you choose your tattoo over your military career path and still deny it? No.
