A set of sewing pattern pieces laid flat on a wooden floor. The pieces are cut from a tropical leaf–print 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 I’m already obsessed with them 🌿

Can you tell which of these products are actually made for Pride and which are simply queer-coded?

Chip sits attentively on a textured beige rug next to Ian’s 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.

I haven’t shared a sewing project in a minute, but making this little fleece shirt for Chip brought me so much joy ☺️

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 who’s making the case against transition

β€’ answer whether they have trans people’s best interest at heart

β€’ listen to actual trans people instead 🧡

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 it’s more trouble than it’s worth

No surprise that a man whose companies filed for bankruptcy six times lacks economic prowessβ€”it just sucks that now the U.S. and its citizens are the β€œcompany” he’s running into the ground.

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 Schimel’s 301,105 votes (40.2%), with approximately 33% of votes counted. A county-by-county Wisconsin map shows areas where each candidate is currently leadingβ€”Crawford in teal, Schimel in orange, and many counties still grayed out as uncounted.

I know it’s early, but I’m really hoping Susan Crawford pulls this off. Also so proud of my mom for voting on the correct side of historyβ€”even from a deep red Wisconsin county, surrounded by friends and family likely voting the other way πŸ’™

It’s surprising to me how much Trump gets away with, considering how ugly he is. Normally that’s a privilege reserved for pretty people

Across the country, lawmakers are trying to erase trans peopleβ€”but 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.
