Friends, this podcast is excellent. I started with the most recent one then listened from the beginning. If you are in the sewing world you will recognize these people! I'm thrilled they included their teen because we need the voices of the young now.

Risk assessment failures of the privileged who donβt want to accept any risk using their social capital to eek out the cultural power to externalize their risk aversion to poorer people is kind of the whole ball of wax. Fix that maybe.
Okay, thatβs enough internet for today.

Hi, America.
βbiological sexβ should refer only to having sex in a lab, knocking over microscopes and shit, contaminating every surface while scientists watch you and take notes
This all sounds pretty freakin amazing! You got this.
I feel like evidence suggests that this is not a party looking for popular support but looking to remain elected without that support and to permanently maintain undemocratic minority control so that they can get rich.
Oooh! I have not but will check it out ASAP! TY βΊοΈ
I sat down six months ago and made a list of my core people. The people who will answer when I call. The people who can smile when Iβm happy. Then, I messaged them saying they are in my inner circle. I think knowing your team is about to be very important.
Love Farah Khan! And I have watched this one 3 times now, so good. Also love all the nods to other movies β₯οΈ
SRK and Deepika in a dance number from Om Shanti Om. Deepika is in front, smiling with her head turned sideways to look at SRK, she is glowing in a beautiful golden sari. SRK is behind her, gazing into her eyes with a cheeky look on his face looking like an entire snack. Every single person in this movie is GORGEOUS.
There is so much to pay attention to, I have to take breaks often with friends. Recently this has included 3 hour long Bollywood movies and I couldn't be happier. Drop what you are doing and watch the roller coaster pageant that is π₯Om Shanti Omπ₯ (it's on Netflix & the youtubes)
A hand painted and embroidered piece of natural muslin with a fancy arch that is reminiscent of the Door of Durin, or maybe the secret door in the Lonely Mtn (Lord of the Rings). There is a hand holding a sword and six drops of blood, similar to the Ace of Swords tarot card. The text echos the arch and reads 'they that hoard their gold shall be slain as a dragon'. There is a ribbon border being sewn around the edges: black with red & gold flowers and green leaves.
A natural colored piece of muslin that has been painted and embroidered. A green bottle with red and gold flames coming out of it has text that reads 'DO NOT OBEY IN ADVANCE' on it. It is hemmed on the outer edges with red embroidered X's.
Two pieces for my upcoming teen class - we'll be exploring fabric painting & stamping, block printing & embroidery through the lenses of history and fashion. My powerpoint game is strong!

I have been a teacher since 2005 and definitely go through waves of burnout with it. BUT I'm so angry about *all this* that I'm diving in again. My free teen class starts 4/15 and is full. My paid adult class is listed below, info link in comments. I'm working on a free monthly makers meetup too...
Requiring REAL IDs and passports and birth certificates to vote?!?
Imagine if these were required to buy a gun.
Stacks of posters on blue and yellow and white and lavender paper that read βeducation is an act of freedom (bell hooks) teach truth, teach justice, teach loveβ in red ink. There is an illustrated hand with a raised fist in the background.
Been up to my same bullshit I guess: making hundreds of posters to remind and be remindedβ¦
Got any teachers unions out there whoβd like a stack?
