And my case manager is conveniently off this week. Why is there no vacation responder for texts? I’m annoyed about this as a client and as an intern case manager for employment services *laughs in imposter syndrome*

Me, whispering softly to myself, trying to figure out if I need to take my meds now or if I can safely roll over and go back to sleep: What day is today?

I understand. I hand stitched a pair of bodies (precursor to stays and corsets) last year. So many freaking back stitches, because it was fully boned with reeds. There were many times I wondered what I had gotten myself into. What you’re doing is incredible! You’ve got this!

Oh jeez. I do not care for these parents at all. It can’t be for kids or for girls. Where’s the fun in that? Idk. I really loved complex Lego sets & off brand Lego sets. There are some really cool cut wood building kits as well, with mechanical parts. Like, building a clock or a vinyl record player.

Mock up draft 1, to confirm that the new draft fits me before I bother drafting on the boned tabs and cut into the specially prepared linen, complete with cat canvas lacing strips! Lacing strips are used to confirm proper fit under tension without having to sew/hammer a bunch of eyelets/grommets.

A pink cotton canvas pair of bodies (precursor to the corset and stays) lays face up on a dark wood table. Strips of white canvas with cats dyed in different prints line the edge of the pair of bodies, and extend beyond the bottom edge. Handsewn eyelets are placed along the lacing strips for spiral lacing. There are channels lining the mock up in half inch intervals extending out from a center busk that is slightly wedge shaped. These are filled with plastic zip ties cut to length for boning purposes. This is a barely different shape and measurement from the modified pair of bodies, yet fits completely differently!

Close up detail from the inside of the center back where the seam allowance folds over and is secured in place with little x’s. Here you can also see the lacing strips extending beyond the edges of the pair of bodies, with a length of green silk buttonhole twist tied on for lacing purposes, since the hand sewn eyelets are so tiny! The inside fabric is a basic cream cotton coutil on which the boning channels have been penciled in.

Some parts of fursuit making feels more like upholstery than sewing. 😅

“Mx” pronounced like “Mix” @yrhtek.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Then with fear of fucking up, I always make a mock up. I feel like with fursuits you might need to make sure the basic fabric you use has similar stretch & strength to your nice fabrics. At least if you have to stuff any portions. If not, just have your foundation stuff ready first.

I put on an audiobook for printing out and piecing together patterns. That’s usually the only thing I do for a day or two on the project. I don’t like having to do this part, but the audiobook helps me get unstuck and moving towards the fun part.

Convinced #sirgilesiii the healing cone is not evil, so now I can sleep & go places without fear of coming home or waking up to a bloody mess from him scratching open his chin again. He gets the donut while I’m around to intervene if he starts scratching at his chin, & the swelling is going down ❤️‍🩹🐈

If you don’t know what it’s like to treat an unwilling cat with a warm compress, I hope you never have to. That and dealing with infected cat acne. Replace your plastic bowls, friends. Nothing is worth this misery. He may have forgiven me, but I’m scarred. The boi himbself, #sirgilesiii

A fluffy orange cat sits pretty against the background of a modernist geometric rug. He sports a navy blue pillow collar, and his natural ruff looks a bit bedraggled and damp in spots. His chin is a bit swollen and balding from scratched and infected acne, but his eyes are bright and green and he has just feasted on his usual wet food and new treats packed with omega-3s to support his skin health.

“Putting a pin in it” - How do you pause your projects? Here I’ve wrapped the thread tail in a figure 8 pattern around a needle I’ve stuck through a bit of the cloth. Beadwork is so much easier in a frame!

A teal corduroy skirt hem decorated with a wide stripe of pale gold in a four-petal/bird’s eye weave bordered by teal and bronze gimp braid, with somewhat worn plastic pearls in the center of each flower. Next to a loose pearl, a sewing needle has been fixed through a bit of cloth with its white thread tail wrapped around the needle in a figure 8, securing it temporarily. The pearls are being secured before it’s sent to be cleaned.

Go hit up my neighborhood favorite restaurant, Albi Kitchen. It’s the first one mentioned in Star Tribune’s 15 under-the-radar restaurant gems in the Twin Cities that deserve your attention! www.startribune.com/best-hidden-...

A beautiful image of a sambusa is at the top of the screenshot from the article. The segment pictured reads: “Albi Kitchen
One of the great delights in eating a homemade sambusa is the way each tells a story of the maker and the care they put into the ubiquitous dish. With whisper-thin pastry fried delightfully crisp and an abundance of fillings (we love the creamy lentils), it’s evident that Fardowsa Ali puts that care into every detail of her food and restaurant. Diners are welcomed into the beautiful setting like they are entering her home, with tea in gorgeous glassware and a room that attracts every ray of Minnesota’s winter sunlight (which sometimes can feel in short supply). The desserts are equally beautiful and tempting, while each visit feels like we’d be welcome to linger just like old friends.

Beautiful message about the hundreds of thousands of people saved from Hitler. Resisting fascism isn't always a coordinated disruption: it's small acts of courage in spontaneous moments. Right person, right time, right place - to do what's right.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
