Completed the exterior of the corset #handbag. Attaching the base was the most difficult thus far. 😩

I’m modifying the pattern to make the bag fully lined for a more polished look to the non-leather interior. Hoping that goes as planned. 🤞🏻😬 🤞🏻

The more chaotic the world gets, the slower and more tedious my work becomes.

These pieces will eventually become a #handbag. At least that’s the plan in my head. Even though I’ve never before punched or saddle-stitched a damn thing. Because coping. 😬

Fund Me Fridays is back!

In honor of Link, who remains unjustly banned, I will be reposting mutual aid links under this thread.

Drop your links and let’s meet some needs!

Given his unjust banning, I am taking up Link's charge and doing Fund Me Fridays in his stead.

If you have funding needs, drop them in the thread below. I'll also be grabbing links that I've missed from previous threads and reposting them.

Today is a good day to meet some people's needs.

Everything is terrible so I'm focusing on things I can control: Like this WICKEDly zippered creation. I'd been waiting on the midnight rainbow zipper tape to complete the front panel. Hoping to finish the rest tomorrow! 🫶🏻

Since Link is banned, his mutual aid Fridays have gone with him. This was one of the most altruistic things I’ve seen anyone on this site do.

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

Drop your mutual aid requests under this thread and I will repost them for as long as I can.

Hear ye hear ye a message of hope and inspiration from our courageous leader in exile, Link. May all his loyal followers take heart!

“As a neurodiversity advocate and as an autistic person, I’m really grateful for so much of the work that’s been done that allows me to be myself and to be successful being myself.” Link, who has been *banned*!?!? from this platform?

Partly because where is there to go but now a big part of it is they are trying to get us all to leave so they can have a safe cis white liberal-right techbro space, and honestly fuck that. We got here first
Why are we even still here 😒

You know, of all the things Link has done with his platform, this stands out as one of the most altruistic. Just a straight up act of kindness.

Steve's book is all the more relevant today than when it came out a decade ago. Do yourself a favor and buy a copy if you don't have it. Steve work matters and is a candle in the shroud of disinformation from Washington these days.

I’m sorry WHAT??

LINK HAS BEEN BANNED?

WTAF @jay.bsky.team
Let me get this straight: Link, a Black user, got banned for calling out the Bluesky CEO for following a racist. That’s not a good look, especially given Bluesky’s historical treatment of Black users here on bluesky.

FREE LINK NOW

This is a Black person who has been on Bluesky forever and apparently just got banned for calling Jay transphobic.

We are at the "hurting the mods' feelings is a bannable offense" stage of Jay's meltdown, now
So @spacelawshitpost.me aka Link got banned. I just got text message.

So yeah. We stop saying things are accidents now?

Link of all people?

Apparently Jay said something to him before taking him down. He didn’t even get a chance to reply.

He sent this image.

This is sad.

I'm no social media expert, and certainly don't have any experience with the incredible challenge it must be to run a system like this, but ...

I feel like "we prioritize the experience of trans people over that of transphobes, who we don't have to tolerate" isn't a tough standard to set.
