Finished the bodice!
First time doing woven sewing of clothing for a long time. Also first time doing embroidery (although I have done a lot of cross-stitch)
Can't wait to try it on with proper foundation garments.

"Anfractious and iridescent, the dark markings wrapped his right arm, wrist to elbow, like an alphabet written in grackle feathers."
from "Saint Death's Herald" by C. S. E. Cooney #SundaySentence
Breathless on the bridge
Arrested by beauty
Noticing the echo
Of the swifts,
And the happy sadness
Of warblers by the waters edge
Entranced
By the gentleness of elderflowers
Its sweetness and its ease
My head swims
In the scent of summer
Damp and dewy
A hint of cinnamon
Breathe it in
Deeply, like a love poem
This soft air would fill your heart
And make it all worthwhile
This journey to the bridge
And the breathless hills.
Just waiting
On the bridge
Breathing you in
Beautiful summer.
#poetry
Afterglow
We set fires, forget
they are uncontrollable,
and love the burning;
but, as flames are dimmed by smoke,
hope still glows in the embers.

something that wasn't obvious to me earlier is that you can encode these twills as 3-bit integers where 0 means go outward, 1 means go inward. You can see where the bits flip because it creates a double-thick section. huh. interesting.
just found out blox n95s have been discontinued :((((
going to need to find an alternative, what are everyone's favorite duckbill n95s (that aren't 3m aura) ?

I admire the Native/Indigenous people, and Allies as well, that have made the decision to use and support, decolonized and Native owned/moderated social media. They are clearly leaders and put their actions where their mouth is.
Mvto! Thank you very much!

People magazine reports on the celebrity match that I care about: macaroni penguins were found to be breeding with rockhopper penguins to make little rockaroni penguins

A friend (
@teffeau.bsky.social
!) reminded me of this graphic which is so good... www.socialchangemap.com
So much of cultural change work is done outside the headlines and the limelight, before (and after!) the flashpoints, in ways no one sees or trumpets but is critical work.

I found the real Fediverse chick!
To help raise money for my wheelchair I decided to sell a t-shirt based off one of my recent drawings. If you love my art or want to help support me in affording a better wheelchair, please consider purchasing one of my shirts. All the profits I make will go towards the purchase of the new chair from notawheelchair.com~ :menhera_admire:

For real. He was pretty darn good last time, but getting him in the crate both before and after the appointment was an ORDEAL.
Just that one gabapentin a couple hours ahead makes a world of difference.
He was alert and very interested in everything in the exam room, but it didn't take two people and a towel to get him back in the crate.
@cafechatnoir That's wonderful! I love making things easier for the cats who hate the vet.
