Tybee Diskin

Ignore the square that looks like a trapezoid. The thread was sittin' funny.

I like how the layered patches are starting to look!

Adding to those knee patches!

Kendrick Lamar deserves to win the very first Nobel Hate Prize

I've been following Matt Maxey for a long time and I was so excited to see that he was going to be the interpreter for Kendrick that I screamed 🥹 So, so cool.

A single-line drawing in black ink on white paper of the head spotted head and soft ears of Raleigh, an American Staffordshire Terrier and beloved member of the Diskin family.

An American Staffordshire Terrier with harlequin spots and a red collar lays in the sun on a rug, staring up at the camera. He has been a respected member of the Diskin family for many years now, which one might gather from the way his black spots are turning gray.

I haven't done any mending lately but I did try drawing my parents' dog as a single-line piece (my first) for my mom's birthday!

After said gifts, I lifted weights. Snapped this pic of my outfit for a friend. Went and gave my niece and nephew their Hanukkah present a little early so we could play with it together. Watched TV with my parents.

Today I was okay.

Today, my parents gifted me a few things that were healing for my broken heart. Some strawberry shortcake socks for my inner child. A flannel I don't have to borrow from my ex. A new perfume not chosen for his enjoyment. Little steps in the journey to getting back to myself.

I love that in the new season of Queer Eye, the time between Antoni being like "I'm going through a breakup" and a lengthy shirtless shot of him was practically zero

Team was like "Let's get the thirst reactivated for this man" as if it ever left

We love it

I, for one, am extremely excited to bamf around in Witcher 4.

Ciri rules.

I feel pretty confident about it but I suppose someone could have snuck an S into the 5y5tem

In fact, it's *five* of them.

This morning on the way to LAX.

Thassa lotta 5s.

Started working on my overalls last night -- this is just decorative, but I am using a sashiko stick & stitch pattern from wrenbirdarts.com! Might have to go get a little more of this color floss...

For these last two, I switched to embroidery floss, and I like how they turned out. I had to add a tiny patch on the one pocket, so I tried to eyeball the pattern and turn it into a little wheat guy 🌾

Then I tried a really simple line pattern in a similar color on this pair of trousers. I liked the look.

These were the next few on the same pair of 501s. The owner prefers the raw edges, so I leave 'em. I played around with the pocket reattachment/reinforcement, but he picked the little pink frankenstitch pattern.

Learning visible mending thread okay go:

This is the first one I ever did. I had to put the patch on top bc there was no way to get it past the seam inside the pocket, but it has held up pretty well. I used denim thread, but now I use embroidery floss.

I like the texture that leaving a bit of frayed edge gives but some people tuck 'em under and press 'em

Depends on the project for me!

I had to undo and redo that patch and do a different approach and the jeans turned out like this:

THE GORGE trailer is live. Scott’s new movie is an astonishing accomplishment, blending pure love story with radical sci-fi action. It was my honor to direct insert unit & write a lot of signs for this one. 😏 Watch this truly original film on Apple TV on February 14 2025

Here are some happy updates from the last year:

I became a personal trainer + I love it

I learned to work with watercolor and colored pencils

I started practicing visible mending

I dressed as Naked Patrick Bateman with Chainsaw for halloween and had a very silly time (fake prop/blood)

Thank you, friend. ❤️❤️❤️

Donate to Help Tybee Catch Up from Medical Debt, organized by Tybee Diskin I've been dealing with several chronic illnesses for my entire life, but in early 2… Tybee Diskin needs your support for Help Tybee Catch Up from Medical Debt

It's been a tough few years for me. The amount of money I have spent to stay insured + keep my doctors so we could try to solve and treat a complex web of health problems has been, well, crushing. I started a new trade to try to catch up, but I still need some help.

Take a look?

Just started this season of Strange New Worlds and something about the Spock/Carol Kane of it all got me fully weeping. What is this

A woman in a motorcycle helmet, a red shirt that reads "Motorcycles", black jeans, and sneakers puts on gloves in preparation to ride. She's standing next to a Royal Enfield motorcycle in a parking lot. The sun shines through at her hip, obscuring some of the image.

Yesterday's ride-to-the-gym fit.

The algorithm marking this as "sexually suggestive" is not a thing I was prepared to experience

Worth noting: This is how I look at the gym
