but if i'm not allowed to feed artists into my artist killing machine it's going to be basically impossible for the machine to keep killing artists. is that what you want?? and before you answer keep in mind this is a very expensive machine

leave art to the humans - we have 🖤inner darkness🖤

hey thanks! 🥹

i just read something that likened the administration to a “clown car of egomaniacal sycophants with the strategic acumen of a toddler playing Risk while hopped up on Pixy Stix” and that felt right

your outie appreciates the grandiosity of mr. milchick’s verbiage 💩

i stitched this three years ago after the war in ukraine first broke out. it seems like an apt time to share it again. i stand with ukraine. 🇺🇦🌻

ahh, thank you!! (and for all the reposts! 🥹💚)

the plot next to mine is open! 🪦🪦

thank you so much! i find it pretty hilarious because i made this piece as a jokey response to a good-natured argument my brother and i had about it (he disagrees that they count as reading, which is fine because it affects me 0%). he thought the piece was funny! and then the internet exploded 🫠

thank you for this. it’s been a weird day 🫠

nope, five different greens! it took forever 😂

3) polite disagreement simply isn’t a thing anyone does anymore

anyway, i’ve been called a lot of names and blocked like 35 people since yesterday and i *still* think audiobooks count as reading, so do with that what you will

what i’ve learned from having a post stating a controversial (though fairly innocuous) opinion go viral-ish on bluesky:

1) i was led to believe the discourse here was kinder? more thoughtful? nah, people are still awful if they disagree with you

2) people have a LOT of ways to call someone stupid

absolutely, go right ahead (and send me a picture please!)

why thank you!! i’m rather proud of that grass, actually 🥹💚

i’m honestly totally fine with polite disagreement! your opinion affects my enjoyment of and feelings about audiobooks exactly 0%! but dang, i sure have been called stupid in about 100 different ways over the last 24 hours 🫠

haha unfortunately i have not! i just use a single strand of floss, a very thin needle, and do teeny tiny back stitches!

this comment section sure seems to think so 😂

hey neighbor! 🪦🪦

hey since this is attracting some attention - you are absolutely free to disagree with me! but i am unavailable to debate the topic as i am currently deceased upon a hill 💚

unfortunately i am unavailable to debate this with you as i am currently deceased upon a hill

i will DIE ON THIS HILL

oh my GOD 😂 (and also 😭)

thank you so much! ☕️💚

People are like "the genie is out of the bottle with AI so we'll all have to live with it." No it isn't. No we won't. That isn't true

by “noise” do they mean “the destruction of democracy”

I have just enough audacity and delusion to think I can make anything. It might not look great but it’s definitely something that didn’t exist before.

🥹💚 thank you!!

doing my annual reread of jane austen’s novels and in chapter 19 of mansfield park sir thomas bertram says “but indeed, i would rather have nothing but tea.” and i was like “same, sir thomas.” so then i ransacked my tea stash to stitch this ☕️
