It’s lovely!

Gorgeous stitch pattern!

Time to post a bigger progress shot! This is my first nine completed block centres (of 77).

A tripod gray tabby with exceptional fluff lounges on a couch upright, with his lone rear leg sprawled to his left and his right paw doing a modesty thing on his junk. He looks annoyed because I blew a puff of air at his head to make him look up.

If Avi Lewis is truly as unelectable as Liberals say, why are Liberals freaking the fuck out? Isn't he simply handing the Liberals a victory?

Sure, the world may be falling apart, but don't let that stop you from being kind.
Don't let it stop you from trying to help.
Don't let it stop you from disappearing into a sinister fog and becoming a terrifying creature of folklore and legend.

Always remember:

If your Naomi be Klein
You're doing just fine
If your Naomi be Wolf
Oh buddy, big oof

I'm assuming we've all seen it - but it is getting a LOT of use here 😅

A photo of a brown and gray tabby kitten snuggled into a larger gray and brown tabby cat, the kitten's head tucked under that of the larger cat, both sleeping blissfully, the RGB fans of a PC are in the background (The cat bed was put here as the fans made it warmer :3 ).

We interrupt today's doom scrolling with a #BlissPost.

"Use the slop machine more to reduce slop" is one of those takes that makes me want to walk into the woods, never to return

Yes, they are.
And it’s demonstrably worse since 2023-it’s genuinely alarming.
Think about how big tech has control over how and what this generation thinks, and how they make decisions.
And it’s why I think AI free classrooms are necessary and anyone who wants to tell me otherwise can kick rocks

First the Cherokee, Now the Palestinians Revisiting the history of U.S. attitudes toward the Cherokee Nation shows how consistent the rhetoric of oppressors is across time and place. The rationalizations for ethnic cleansing do not change.

30 yrs aftr Norman Finkelstein wrote this article, “First the Cherokee, now the Palestinian,” nothing has changed. Current Affairs re-released the essay, which shows the similarities between tactics used against my Cherokee ancestors & Palestinians today.

A graphic that reads: Source request: What does it look like when we let trans people thrive? When public systems support trans people? When health care is free and accessible, and spaces are affirming? What are the solutions for making trans lives better? What could trans utopia look like? I am looking for specific stories of trans people from all walks of life across Canada who’ve been given space to not only survive, but thrive. People who are interested in speaking about how certain policies, systems, or resources have made their lives easier and better as trans people. Is this you or someone you know? Pop me an email at: mel.woods@xtramagazine.com

I'm working on a large print feature for later this year that asks a big question:

What does it look like when we let trans people thrive?

I'm looking to talk to a few everyday trans people from across Canada about what that idea means to them.

A photo of a gray and white striped kitten passed all the way out in a dark red chair with his tongue hanging out.

Ohhhh are we blepposting? I love a Blep!

Oh, poor sweetie. So glad he found you!

Photo of my black and white tuxedo cat Marcel sitting up with his pink tongue just barely poking out of his mouth a tiny bit.

Micro-blep.

Welcome to the Hidden Almanac, I’m Reverend Mord. Today is November 11th, 2016.  My friends, it is a dark time now. And history is very long, but that is little comfort for those living through it. A year can be no time at all, but a minute can be an eternity. But civilization is a great work. And kindness is a great work. And decency is a great work. It is not given to any one of us, no matter how long-lived, to see that work through to the end. But neither may we give up working on it.  There is a proverb of a great people that translates…inelegantly. It says that if you are planting seeds and you learn that the world will end tomorrow, keep planting.  I promise you that the seeds we plant now matter. If you do not have faith in gods or saints, have faith in each other, and in us.  That’s the Hidden Almanac for November 11th, 2016. Be safe. You are not alone.  —Ursula Vernon

Some weirdo wrote a thing that I read this morning that still moves me deeply. I can plant the seeds I can plant.

When you have no capability to influence, no-one has the right to piss on your coping strategy.

The troops are getting restless, but here’s three still staying close while others explore Mt. Cushions and Mt. Blankets. 😂

#worthycause and hey, you could win this quilt! 😍

Love the bubble quilting!

Amazing. I love it.

Wow, that’s quite a compliment — thank you!

SHELVE YOUR DAGGER, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE DESPAIR. AND YOU WILL WIN.

A macro photo of a floofy brown and tan moth from the front. The moth's legs, head, and thorax are covered in fuzzy hair-like scales. The legs are mottled brown and tan, the head and thorax mostly tan. The moth has black eyes and large brown, feathery antennae emerge from just above the eyes. The moth's wings are just out of the plane of focus.
