So I bought a Masterclass earlier this month regarding how to move abroad from a community called She Hit Refresh. For research. Totally just for research.

Would anyone else like the Masterclass materials? For research?

Glove is done.
#sewing

A left-hand glove turned inside-out, showing the stitching along the edges.

A left-hand glove made from black silicone leather.

Got most of the new glove sewn up last night.
#sewing

A glove turned inside-out to show partially-completed stitching. The thumb, pointer, and middle finger are finished. The ring finger is halfway done.

ThisIsDee @thisisdee273.bsky.social · 7d

I decided to redo the glove draft, not only to make the fingers wider, but to also add more movement to the thumb. The thumb in particular was bugging me a lot, hoping the changes help.

A draft of a pair of gloves, consisting of the main body and the thumb portion.

A size comparison between the previous draft, sitting on top of the current draft. The fingers are much wider, and there's much more allowance for the thumb party to allow more movement.

Thumb is done on the other glove.

A glove turned inside out to prepare stitching. The thumb portion of the glove is done being stitched.

I forgot to add, I bought the silicone leather from a site called Fabric Funhouse.

ThisIsDee @thisisdee273.bsky.social · 10d

I'm using silicone leather, which doesn't have any stretch to it. Instead of using 1.5cm for the stretch allowance, I used 5cm for the trank (main glove body). I also use polyester thread instead of waxed thread since I saw that recommended on sewing sites.

“If U.S. citizens can be arrested under these operations is alarming enough, but the fact that the information is then deleted from public view is even more worrisome,” said Florida Immigrant Coalition’s Tessa Petit. “Facts are being hidden from Floridians, and we deserve to know why.”

“Florida officials have been accused of quietly scrubbing records showing U.S. citizens were swept up in the Trump administration’s immigration dragnet after a local paper started asking questions.” www.thedailybeast.com/officials-sc...

Officials Scrub Data Showing U.S. Citizens Swept Up in Immigration Arrests

Florida’s immigration crackdown dashboard reportedly showed the arrests of 21 U.S. citizens—until a local paper asked questions.

Decided to get a late birthday gift for myself, looking forward to it.

(Quick note: the heavy orange tint is to help me with eye strain, it's a big migraine trigger for me)
#stillwakesthedeep #thechineseroom

The title screen for the horror game "Still Wakes the Deep". The screen shows an oil rig partially concealed in fog with roaring ocean waters underneath.

The heavy orange tint is not part of the game, I am using a heavy night filter to help with eye strain (big migraine trigger for me).

I decided to make a pair of gloves for myself, made them bigger than the Papa IV draft since those were kind of tight. Second picture is a size comparison.
#sewing

Parts for a pair of gloves cut out from silicone leather. The parts consists of the glove body (called the trank) for the left and right hands, the thumb pieces, and the fourchette (the pieces that go in-between the fingers).

A size comparison between the Papa IV gloves draft and the current draft. The Papa IV draft is sitting on top to show the extra room that was added to each finger.

Is Spotify running ICE recruitment ads? Here are the facts

The advertising "is part of a broad campaign the US government is running" across various platforms — not just Spotify, a spokesperson told Snopes.

GOOD NEWS! For the first time ever, Huntington's disease has been successfully treated. A groundbreaking new miRNA treatment, AMT-130, slowed the progression of the disease by 75%. These results are likely to support the first approval of a genetic treatment for the rare neurodegenerative condition.

Have you heard of tactical frivolity?

It’s one of my favorite forms of protest.

Tactical frivolity is what happens when you use humor, costumes, and joy to make power look ridiculous. 🪩🐔🐸

I was going to go to the #NoKings protest tomorrow... until I got an "Engine Power is Reduced" error on the car last night. The auto place doesn't want me driving it until they have a look at it. 😞

I made up a new sign too. 😞
