GenX artist, crafter, quilter, caregiver. Married, childfree, sugar-free (keto). Masshole of a sort. Somehow both a complete downer AND a laff riot.

I want more folks to know about libro.fm as an alternative to Audible or Spotify or other shady corps.

It’s 100% employee-owned and works like Audible, except your credits support an indie bookstore of your choosing instead of Amazon.

Here’s my latest quilt. It is made with half rectangle triangles. Just finished sewing the binding on this morning. 60” x 60”. My own design. #quilt #Quiktsky

I need to write the whole piece about this, but the thing to understand is that the NYT is now just Facebook. The platform dictates narrative to normies, is totally gamed by the right, and is still so ubiquitous as to be unavoidable even by those who see how broken it is. It's just Facebook.

It’s possible!! They were made by my Hoosier grandmother for my three older siblings when they were babies, so around 1958-1962

Sorry to hear that but I get it. Just fyi You can mute accounts rather than block, then they can still see your content & perhaps still interact on the topics you prefer.

Working on a Sister’s Choice quilt. This one is fun because the way I planned it, the blocks are huge! 25” square, I’ll only need to make 9 for a large throw. I’ve never worked in this large scale and it’s interesting after so many tiny scraps. #quilting

Notice how everyone is somehow talking about Biden Too Old right now, and NOT about how the Supreme Court just legalized Trump being a dictator for life and gutted the administrative state, and how the Heritage Foundation is now issuing terrorist threats? Think that might not be an accident?

It really is making *me* feel crazy to see a bunch of other Democrat voters running around screaming about how Biden is now unelectable, on the basis of one bad debate and an incredibly obvious ratfucking campaign by America’s most craven newspaper.

I told my 90 year old mom we’ll be celebrating what we hope America could be based on the noble ideas we were told growing up. As yet an unachieved fantasy, but still worth striving for.

Mustered up the gumption (had a drink) to call my rep (Trahan) & senators (Markey, Warren) who I know are already on my side but anyway be a voice in support of Biden (let’s not let the NY Times pick our nominee ok?) & register my horror at the right wing activist SCOTUS aiming to install a dictator
