I had almost finished making this baby mobile while I was pregnant, but once she was born, time became a precious resource One month later and I've finally managed to finish it and take a nice photo!

Basically, I really liked this one mobile from Mama's and Papa's (UK baby shop) but it cost like £50, so decided I could totally make myself something that was better for cheaper lol.

Patriarchy rejects culture as a technology, violently promoting a social division between the practice of arts and sciences that doesn't now, nor has objectively ever existed.

There can be no great art but for great science and no great science but for great art. The first tool was not the stone axe, flint knife, or bone needle, but the thought experiments, then trial and error leading to tangible, social, and spiritual good.

Hank Green has ticked off knitters??? What happened??

I'm wrapping up a wonderful visit to #Canada (my first time here!)

I'll have more to say about how inspirational I found the people and culture to be, but for now, here's a peek at the demo piece I left at the studio for my new Canadian friends to enjoy.

I call it Geese and Peace

Truly inspired by “I woke up and chose” a video about craftivism, a term used by #Resisters” and craft, crafters, artists. #Craft #Crafters #Fiberarts @inherentlee was discussing and I didn’t want to butt in so instead I did a search in Ecosia browser to find out about Katherine Vike who was mentionned.

Oh my a woman after my own heart, um, over a teensy part of me that is introverted. Her stories of protest and resistance movements are inspiring. It’s not a wonder that MSM doesn’t mention much those who are adding their efforts one by one to build effective loud voices to protest.

This is a short video I recommend to all who organize protests, doesn’t matter what kind. The concept of adding powerful resistance in quieter ways but building big numbers of volunteers who cannot be ignored.

What your bracelet really says about you (spoiler: not what TikTok thinks). Let’s bust some myths + stereotypes in this thread

Someone I know from a mutual networking event has just put out video about his sign making and sculpting practice. Cool to see the work in motion.

Plus there's some wild deer in the video.
