Ian wearing his finished tropical leafβprint pants in front of a mirror. The pants have an elastic waistband and cargo pockets on the thigh. They are wearing a gray T-shirt and photographing the fit in a bedroom sewing workspace.
Two pant leg pieces in tropical leaf fabric lying side-by-side on the floor. One leg has a completed zipper pocket visible on the upper thigh area. A sewing instruction sheet is partially visible above the pieces.
A piece of tropical leafβprint fabric with a small zipper already sewn in. A black pocket gusset is clipped around the sides using colorful sewing clips in preparation to stitch the facing down.
A set of sewing pattern pieces laid flat on a wooden floor. The pieces are cut from a tropical leafβprint fabric and include pant legs, pockets, a waistband piece, and other small components. Each piece still has the Simplicity tissue pattern pinned on top.
Sewed some pants yesterday and I fear Iβm already obsessed with them πΏ

Chip, a small tan chihuahua mix, lounges on a dark gray couch wearing a handmade fleece shirt with a colorful floral pattern. One paw is perched on the couch armrest, and heβs looking alert and cozy.
Chip sits attentively on a textured beige rug next to Ianβs workspace, which has dog-sized clothing pattern pieces cut from colorful fleece. A cutting mat, Simplicity pattern paper, and rulers are spread out on the floor.
A close-up of a sewing machine in action as Ian stitches a seam in floral fleece fabric. The fabric is a mix of teal, pink, red, and yellow tones.
I havenβt shared a sewing project in a minute, but making this little fleece shirt for Chip brought me so much joy βΊοΈ
hi, cis folks!
so, when they release the US cass review that makes the cass review look like a trans liberation manifesto, i think you should
β’ ask whoβs making the case against transition
β’ answer whether they have trans peopleβs best interest at heart
β’ listen to actual trans people instead π§΅

People want AI to be perfect despite humans (who it learned from) being far from perfect. But you have to use it to learn when it can help you be more efficient versus when itβs more trouble than itβs worth
The real βLiberation Dayβ will be the day heβs no longer with us
No surprise that a man whose companies filed for bankruptcy six times lacks economic prowessβit just sucks that now the U.S. and its citizens are the βcompanyβ heβs running into the ground.
Yes! π I am very proud of her (for this and her choice for presidential election despite that overall outcome)
Wisconsin put America first by electing Susan Crawford to their Supreme Court πΊπΈπ
ππ₯πΎ
A partial election results graphic from The Washington Post showing the Wisconsin Supreme Court Judge race. Candidate Crawford leads with 448,807 votes (59.8%) over Schimelβs 301,105 votes (40.2%), with approximately 33% of votes counted. A county-by-county Wisconsin map shows areas where each candidate is currently leadingβCrawford in teal, Schimel in orange, and many counties still grayed out as uncounted.
I know itβs early, but Iβm really hoping Susan Crawford pulls this off. Also so proud of my mom for voting on the correct side of historyβeven from a deep red Wisconsin county, surrounded by friends and family likely voting the other way π
But he doesnβt even have real moneyβjust the perception of it all π£
Itβs surprising to me how much Trump gets away with, considering how ugly he is. Normally thatβs a privilege reserved for pretty people
Ian standing in front of a step-and-repeat backdrop wearing a black denim jumpsuit with chest buttons open to reveal a mesh shirt and chest hair. They have short dark hair, facial hair, a small earring, and a heart-shaped trans pride pin on their chest. They are smiling softly with arms relaxed at their sides.
Across the country, lawmakers are trying to erase trans peopleβbut no law can change the truth: trans people are real, and their lives matter.
This Trans Day of Visibility, we affirm their right to exist, to be seen, and to thrive.
