I'm gathering all my cross stitch posts into one thread so I can keep track of what I've finished & posted.

The first cross stitch I did back in July 2020. I was have massive pandemic anxiety & decided I needed a hobby to help me relax. Saw this kit from Subversive Cross Stitch & thus a hobby was born.

the forced self-censorship gibberish we all have to do on social media now is having a devastating effect on the way people communicate with each other. nobody in a healthy society is saying "unalived"

"Are my migraines hormonal, or am I thinking too hard about how Peter Thiel has more money than all nurses on Earth combined?"

Is It Perimenopause or the Fascist Death Knell of Late-Stage Capitalism?

Are my hot flashes due to an estrogen imbalance or a rapidly warming planet hastened by unaccountable oil barons who own our elections? Am I irrita...

The phrase "trans activist" is goofy because like 95% of the time it's used it refers to a trans person simply existing.

Media, pointing at a woman buying a coffee: behold, a trans activist.

Woman: buying coffee is not activism stop being so fucking weird

Media: trans activist criticizes media

“ICE will melt in hell” would make a fantastic cross stitch pattern.

Cameron @cameroncorduroy.bsky.social · 1d

every smug internet communist tweet about showing up to a No Kings protest with an abolish ICE shirt to scare the libs is getting completely mogged by the real-life winemoms showing up with slogans like "ICE will melt in hell"

I love seeing all of the pictures of the No Kings protests around the country, but please take the extra few seconds and add #AltText to them. It can be as simple as "An unbroken sea of people at the No Kings protest in (City)."

notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important
