The quilt continues. Reliquia by Rosalia just made me cry. A good day for sad songs. #quilting

What a day to dissociate! Look at the quilt! And the cat! I can sew in straight lines! Over and over! Oooh a square! There is no world outside of the square! #quilting #sovereignty

With god as my witness, I will never sew with minky fabric again. #quilting I will finish this cursed up cycling project if it kills me and goats my whole house in shedded lint

I listened to Debí Tirar Más Fotos. I often play Bad Bunny at full volume when I need to drive home in the middle of the night.

Mods are asleep, post blobby Qing dynasty cats

I’ve listened to four new albums this year. All of which I loved. I’m woefully behind. I will be working my way through the rolling stone top 100 as I finish up a quilt. Thoughts to follow. @rollingstone.com

I haven’t been on Bluesky in months… But it’s vacation so here I am to discuss all of the aspects of my hibernation

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that can slow its progression and transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC.

"An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients...Prof Tabrizi says this gene therapy 'is the beginning' and will open the gates for therapies that can reach more people."🧪⚕️

As someone who cares for trauma patients, I love this either way my whole heart

Sunrise reflecting over water

Really pretty sunrise 🌅, with an actual touch of chill in the early morning air while paddling that reminds that fall will be here soon

As I work on my Harrow costume…

I had forgotten that 😳

Team, how many hours of tik-tok a day is too many? I know that I think the answer is *any* but my 12 yr old likely disagrees. What limits have you negotiated with your adolescents? #help #parenting

They are ostrich fern sprouts

The worst
