I shall continue to crochet these earrings for my wonderful friend hosting an art for aid fundraiser in Michigan. I can wait. Rank choice voting takes a while. I shall be a grown up. I am not cranky.

Not reskeeting because booooo but
76 is an interesting number. Yes, of course 24% shouldn’t think he should, but I thought his “floor” was ~35%. This man is a weak, weak president. Harmful, of course. Shamefully so. But weak. That’s one reason he lashes out so violently.

Heba has gotten some vitamins and high energy biscuits from a clinic near Al-Shifa hospital and also one near Al-Bandar. The baby is due in November. She is constantly stressed.

Leaflets have told Heba and Ahmed to leave their place in the north.
There is no guarantee of shelter, and tents are expensive, if they can find one. Winter is nearly upon them. Again.

Got some beautiful free art at the Minneapolis Monarch Festival today. I *think* the artist is Sarah Nassif. (Please correct me if I’m wrong)

Thank you, my friend. One way I'm trying, is volunteering my sewing skills! I've made several fanny packs for people who donate to Heba and Ahmed. Each one takes me about 3 hours to sew, and so far, folk have donated $50+. Send me a message if you're interested!

Oh it is so good to hear from you my friend. ❤️ thank you.
I just burst into tears after getting this message from Ahmed. It had been a little over a day since they checked in and I get so anxious when we don’t hear.
It means so much to them when I can tell them people are asking about them.

Both finished today. It’s all connected and yes, I did need to stab something over and over in my grief and hope.
We don’t get to give up. And when we do engage, there is so much to be won.

Find some way to speak up for them right now. There is no more food. Not even at high prices. The trucks are at the border. This is so violent.
Call your electeds. Post. Tag news orgs. Donate. Find at least one thing you can do today to help.

I’ve been working on this bag (among other projects, admittedly) since January. The sashiko on the front is “Earthseed” and “change” in ascii (letters->binary) I’m so pleased with the result.
Made mostly from jeans I got from goodwill. Pattern from Sewing Through Fog.

They’re currently in a zone the army has deemed unsafe, and they must evacuate. They sent this video of the aftermath of a bomb near them 2 days ago. It’s Ahmed you see.

The manifesto from Andor is very good.
Doesn’t mean we don’t despair at times and don’t grieve. But it’s a damn useful reminder.

Heba is pregnant and scared about the health of her baby because her nutrition is so poor. They’re still in N Gaza. They tried to leave but found no way out. No shelter. So they returned to their damaged home. A share helps. A donation helps. Thank you. gofund.me/e6c10b82

Saw there was a new episode of @ayanaeliza.bsky.social podcast and quickly thought, “yes, I do want this book”. Checked local bookstore, saw they had a copy. Made plans to go after work.
5 minutes later, the same bookstore texted me that my preorder of the same book was in. I love past me.
