I was almost done with the zine I’m working on, printed a draft, felt like the text should be a little larger and wished there were more/bigger photos so I impulsively decided to add 8 more pages. Which means re-laying-out the entire thing 👍🏼🤦‍♀️ but I will be happier in the end!!

2025 update: Pete and I have been using the Tidal family plan for years now and we both love it. No regrets!

I also posted about researching different options and choosing Tidal in the end: "I wanted to switch to Napster since they pay artists best, but after a few weeks into the free trial I had multiple issues with it and I knew I’d be constantly frustrated. ...

I used soundiiz.com to move my playlists. Again, this was in 22 so I don't know if there's a better option nowadays. I tweeted: "Since I had a lot & also wanted to create playlists from spreadsheets, I paid for 1 month at $4.50, totally worth it to get everything I wanted into my new Tidal account!"

I made the switch back in 2022 and tweeted about it in the old place... digging through my archives (I deleted all my tweets) and it's weird to navigate, can't view threads, but I can piece some things together...

(What tips the scale for me...)
Will it be an entry point into more meaningful direct action and community organizing? Absolutely, for some.
Does it help people in red states felel less abandoned? I think so.
Is it a free outside hang on a sunny day that pisses some truly terrible people off? Yep!

Sara Nović @novicsara.bsky.social · 5d

Is a march going to fix things? Nope!
Will staying home and doing nothing fix things? Nope!
Will staying home and whining on the internet about other people marching fix things? Also nope! 🤷🏻

If you have a little time today to whip up a project, I suggest this pattern from @leedoesstuff.bsky.social #wip #frog

Frog eyes attached to a headband. Made for easy removal if we decide to add them to a hat later.

please disabuse yourself from the propaganda that leftists glorify violence/seek to incite protests

- is rhetoric to fracture movement (good vs bad protestors)
- ignores state violence instigating (ppl getting attacked ≠ attacking!) & justifies harm
- overwrites practical analysis w/fearmongery

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

I got through an eye and a half tonight; I’m hoping to make a few pairs by Saturday… 🐸👀

It’s a fun pattern, quick to make, and uses a tiny bit of yarn. 🥳

Pattern by: @leedoesstuff.bsky.social

#knitters #knitting #nokings

One finished knitted frog eye held by a white skinner hand and one knitted frog eye in progress next to it; the back is green and the front is white with a black center.

😡 soooo frustrating!! I found some hacks that allowed me to print like 2-4 more pages at a time, but very time-consuming and annoying. It involved opening up the cartridge and forcing the gears to move with a screwdriver each time, for each batch of usually 2 more pages

Lee @leedoesstuff.bsky.social · 8d

Ugh this was a brother laser xl cartridge! Only lasting a few months for me. I’ve found the last couple of times it says it’s out it’s not even starting to fade a little yet—have you found a way to actually use all the toner? bsky.app/profile/leed...

Lee @leedoesstuff.bsky.social · 24d

ACK! My fucking printer SAYS the toner is empty even though it’s super NOT and I need to print a bunch of zines to pack up my patreon packages tomorrow 😭😭😭 anyone know a trick to tell the printer not to think it’s empty OR where in Portland has good toner prices?

I’ve seen 52 movies in the theater in 2025 alone, every one while masked. It’s NOT HARD.

Chantzy @chantzy.bsky.social · 10d

I don't know many Covid conscious people asking folks to cancel movie theatres & Thanksgiving. You can go to movies in a mask & test/ventilate before indoor gatherings. None of this is hard

Boo! Neil Pajamas @agrippanothing.bsky.social · 10d

When i was an adolescent going into young adulthood in while HIV was stalking and killing us. We lived our lives doing risk assessment and trying to live our lives and not not lose our minds. These people wouldn't last 10 mins in that shit. We're not canceling movie theaters and Thanksgiving.

ALSO. ALSO. Needing us to find Europeans who condemned him for his actions at the time--and there are many! So many! My God so many!--is also some white supremacist bullshit, because the TAINO PEOPLE HE WAS MURDERING CERTAINLY CONDEMNED HIM FOR IT AND THEY WERE HUMAN BEINGS OF HIS TIME TOO.

Christopher Columbus was dragged back to Spain in chains by a crusading knight, convicted of tyranny and immeasurable cruelty, pardoned by Isabella but banned from returning to Hispaniola.

Fuck Columbus.

That quote at the end! That’s it. Because of all those people who believe them, the lies stick around and grow. They do the same with public transit—convince people it’s dangerous and the people who already don’t use it believe the lies and continue not using it.

the Mountain Goats @themountaingoats.bsky.social · 11d

They’re doing this about Chicago, and New York, and they did it in Ohio during the election. Their whole gambit is “the people we need to persuade of this will never go to those places.”

The overriding goal of too many journalists is to provide “balanced” coverage from a “neutral” position in equidistance to both sides. That framework is much easier to justify if you pretend to be dealing with “normal” politicians – as opposed to committed ideologues pursuing an extreme project.
