Lunchtime Update: I have until tomorrow, 10/17, to raise $1080 so I can catch up on my rent payments. I also have to have my entire rent balance paid off one week from today or else management will file for eviction and I'll be homeless again. #MutualAidRequest

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Autumnal collection, including little owl feather, seedheads & various lovely things that fell off trees.
Zoom in to the details if you’re feeling stressed-the patterns in nature have been shown to help our brains relax🪶:

I am going to escape the financial and emotional abuse at my mom’s house in April when my car is paid off and can no longer be used as a tracking device. I am trying to raise $1000 towards a moving van, gas, and the labor of a moving crew for 1 day. Anything helps. Please and thank you.

“Rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the ICE raids and money for legal aid and other services are among the provisions in the declaration.”

John Pfaff @johnpfaff.bsky.social · 1d

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

What we can see clearly now is the social construction of whiteness and maleness is an ongoing process that allows adults to be “children” and open hate speech as “kids being kids” in stark contrast to the way that Republicans deem children who are minorities as adults or “enemy combatants”

Spooky Season Reminder: Most "Halloween Black" food dye uses charcoal. Normally, it's safe to eat!

However:

Charcoal can NEUTRALIZE many types of medications!

If you're taking your meds (good for you!), make sure you consult your pharmacist to see if they might get neutralized!

Eat Safely!

And they’re getting patriotism—but it’s the kind where people show up for their neighbors at school pickups and dropoffs, where people put whistles in Little Free Libraries, where store after store has signs rejecting ICE, and where alderfolks hold training sessions in standing up for each other

Jam-Covered Corgi 🚫👑 Has No King @ellenb.bsky.social · 2d

They’re getting chaos — but it’s the loving chaos of Burning Man and Oregon Country Fair. Of people who organize community clothing swaps and who run co-ops.

Portland is teaching all of us. This is our power. The authoritarian Right doesn’t understand being able to operate without hierarchy.

This is me beside my Csrdboard trex I made for the Worlf Chess Hall of Fame. I came back and did a talk and a craft with the public.

This is Frida Kahlo portrait made of 2961 1” circles cut from recycled aluminum soda cans.

This a alargue group of cardboard animal sculptures made to look like blue and white porcelain. This was at Houska Gallery in STL.

Hello #portfolioday

I'm Jeremy. I thought I'd share some of the creatures I've made in the past 12 months or so. I designed, hand-sewed, and hand-embroidered all of them.

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, and a black creature with sharp teeth wearing a bulbous eye earring. There's a large purple creature with many yellow eyes and an open mouth, with a little green creature popping her head out. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background.

Here's a photo of four fabric art creations with a black background and a dark red ground. There are two homunculi, one smaller than the other. The large one is gray with big twinkly red eyes and a little frown. The smaller homunculus is green with twinkly red eyes and a little frown. She's holding a rainbow-colored staff with a green stone on the top. The stone appears to be glowing a bit. The other two creatures are white ghosts with gray faces. They have twinkly black eyes and little frowns. They each have two twirly hair wisps coming out of their heads. They're wearing cone-shaped party hats. The hats are black and they're covered with red eyes and there's a red poof on the top. One hat is large and one hat is extremely small.

Here's a photo of fabric art creatures with a white fabric background. There's a cute and creepy mothman with a black body and a gray face with twinkly red eyes and sharp teeth. There's a green Kentucky goblin with a lighter green face and large pointy ears. He has twinkly yellow eyes and he's wearing a black party hat covered with red googly eyes and a big red poof at the top. There's also a red death worm with nine cream-colored eyes and sharp teeth. The tiny homunculus witch is sitting on the worm's head. She's very small, with large twinkly red eyes and a green body. She's wearing a small version of the party hat the goblin's wearing.

Here's a lovely photo of the cosmic ghost bag. She's a black ghost with various stars and planets embroidered on her body. There are little white stars, larger white stars, yellow stars, purple stars, a dark purple planet, a light purple planet, a red planet with a yellow ring. She has a gray moon-like face with large sparkly black eyes and a little frown. She's wearing a black fabric witch hat. She's resting on my palm and there's green fur in the background of the picture.
