one of the fucked up things about this is that on top of how straight up evil this is they are also still charging the replacement fee for "reissuing" the license

a propaganda poster in a medieval style that reads: "attacks on trans people have always been the harbinger of fascism... throwing us to the wolves will not keep you safe... class solidarity above all else!" the words are broken up by a drawing of a canary in flight with a speech bubble that says "the rich want us fighting a culture war so that we don't wage a class war" and there is an illuminated border with blue thorned flowers and hearts

Everyone was really kind and a few people thanked me afterwards, also learned one classmate in a different cohort had a trans fiancée so that was cool!

To echo the sentiments of G.K. Chesterton, fairy tales do not tell children that monsters exist — because they know that already. But rather more importantly, fairy tales tell them (and us) that the monster can be killed. And such stories must never ever go out of fashion.

I understand the instinct to donate to orgs that are helping trans folks flee red states but let's not forget about the orgs that are still fighting for trans folks in red states.

Kansas just invalidated the drivers licenses of every trans person in the state. They’re being told to surrender their current licenses and get new ones listing their birth sex. No grace period. Get caught driving with your now-invalid license and you’re looking at jail and a fine.

My latest hand embroidery
Today we had a garden visit from a hare. Yesterday, a handsome young fox boldly came right up to my window, looking very healthy indeed in its nice red coat. I'm not sure we'll be seeing the hare here at the house again soon.

Definitely try it! With the way I knit it helps keep my tension super even, not sure that translates for everyone but it's a perk.

Ooh i want to try steeking. Am also very into more clothing adapted for trans bods, especially tranfem.

I've really been enjoying knitting flat since I learned how to knit backwards. The change in motions seems to help keep my wrists from tiring out. Now I just need to get good at seaming and I'll be unstoppable...

2025 limited tone design commissioned for prints and totebags

In a palette of red and creamsicle, two bunnies work in a small yarn shop. The first, behind the counter, knits diligently, raising one eye to meet the viewer. The second, much more enthused, hops around the store with a basket on her head, waving at the viewer and dropping some wares.

"Sure, ICE is bad, but we need to deport illegal immigrants"

No you don't.

If immigration enforcement leads to concentration camps and roving death squads, maybe it's time to just get rid of the concept of illegal immigration entirely. You've tried it, it's a bad idea in practice, so bin it.

Just a quick update from the Twin Cities. (Please forgive the unsolicited message). THINGS ARE NOT BETTER IN MINNEAPOLIS. The media is mostly moving on, Trump is focused on other stuff, BUT NOTHING HAS CHANGED ON THE GROUND. More than 2,000 DHS thugs continue to roam the streets, abducting people 24/7, assaulting legal observers with impunity, and routinely denying 1st, 4th, and 5th amendment rights. Drones and helicopters are overhead every day. Hundreds and hundreds of terrified families have not left their homes since mid-December ... relying on the community to bring them food and help with rent and other necessities. (Those people are NOT violent drug cartel sex offending murderers, as DHS would tell you. Most are legal residents or citizens.)  If anything, things have just become more stressful and intractable (think trench warfare as a suitable metaphor): The resistance is better organized and numerous, but DHS has become more clever and better at disguise... and the county sheriff's office is increasingly supporting them . Do not let anyone tell you that Homans (the new person in charge of the occupation) is making anything better. Do not let anyone tell you that 700 ICE agents leaving the city has made much of a difference; the remaining force (again, ~2,000) is still larger than the entire city's police force (which is legally unable to do anything). Please call your congressional reps ... especially if there is any chance the administration might listen to them.

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

Last year to express gratitude for 50+ patrons I drew small spells for everyone based on the prompt: one object, one plant, one one-word wish.

10x10cm square sticker of a dark grey hare blowing on a yellow horn that is being carried by two white mice. There is a cloud like steam coming from that horn and in it is a text "nobody is free until everybody is free". The background is bright red with black and blue stars.
