fuck the grind. fuck work culture. i want a slow life. i want to wake up in the morning and scramble eggs and saute some spinach, squeeze some orange juice and cut up some strawberries, and eat it all while sitting on my porch and watching my goats mill about in the yard. i have a world of downtime to bake bread and garden and read and craft. i am free.

i love and support trans people! having this on your blog means you love and support trans people too!

[guy whose bedtime is approaching fast] I need to write one billion words right now. and draw everything that has ever existed.

"Friends outside of Minnesota please read. I'm sharing a post written by a personal friend and medical doctor: Friends outside MN, you need to know what is happening here. Everyone knows that ICE shot and killed a woman here on Wednesday. But that’s not the only thing that’s going on:

My personal mech for my Steel Totems TTRPG.

They go by the callsign Angry Sparrow.

I was having writers block and so I took a break and soon enough it was 3 in the morning and I had impulsively sewn together a tiny mouse you’re welcome

For those of you who asked, I have made a sewing tutorial on how to make your very own Peaches the Mouse!

I see people reblogging this with “to buy” but this pattern is free??? Someone even asked me “why don’t you charge money for it, it took you forever to put the document together” and I said “Not a lot of people have money and if they have some fabric scraps and a couple of buttons lying around they can make themselves a little mouse friend for free and that might make them happy and that makes me happier than receiving money???” Make yourself a liddol creacher! Heals the Soul!

I know this post is like 7 years old atp but I still get hundreds of notifications a week on it as well as some emails having problems with access, so I’d like to update since many haven’t seen my addition in the replies.

This pattern took off WAY more than I was expecting. Tumblr is the only place I’ve ever posted it, so if you see a repost on any other website, I’m not OP. Apparently some people have downloaded the pattern and put it behind paywalls on skill share sites. If someone wants you to pay money for the pattern, just know it’s not going to me, so it’s up to you whether or not you pay them because as always, the original pattern is still free.

However if you would like to donate to me, you can do so here :)

Also the pattern link access is public! It’s shared via the Google Drive link underlined above and you don’t need to have a google account to open it. If you get a message saying you need “permission to access”:

That being said, I’m really impressed to see everyone’s creations and am so glad Peaches has reached so far! As we all know, Tumblr is notorious for not working right so I don’t always see every single message or photo addition, but just know I’m glad this little craft brought so many of you a little bit of joy over the years if you’ve ever made one!

Later tonight at around 10 PM EST, Art Prompt will return after it's extended hiatus! Hope to see you then!

Another thing about light pollution and adjacent things is. They threatened my area with rolling blackouts last winter. Now this was of course largely because the AI datacenters are hogging all the electricity, but in the notifications about it they always specified that that residential areas would be the blacked out areas. Not offices. Not businesses. If you're at home and freezing, well, you can just go loiter in a McDonald's I guess. Never mind that this is extremely difficult for disabled people and often not allowed for pets.

Well, as winter turned into spring, I started biking home from work. A long, circuitous route that took me through residential areas, and past offices and businesses. Offices and businesses that were closed for the day. And yet their signs were still lit up. The lights were still on inside. There were TVs playing in empty breakrooms. All the computers in the school district offices stayed on, their monitors not even going to sleep, all night. Paused to take a break in an empty strip mall once and when I leaned against the glass of a restaurant I could hear the music still playing inside.

Like. There's something deeply rotten about the priorities here. These places that are so flagrantly wasting electricity will never be subject to the rolling blackouts that could freeze you out of your home. Not even at night, when no one is there, when they don't need their lights on. Their waste is prioritized over normal people's life.

Reminds me of a summer or two ago in NYC when they were expecting heat waves and warning residents to brace for blackouts. Sometimes the infrastructure really cant handle the traffic (although even then there are usually some capitalists to blame, like with much of Texas's energy grid in disrepair), but companies and governments won't turn off the billboards in Times Square (or the lights in some random office that's been vacant for a week) for the greater good. The slightest chance of a business missing out on projected profits (including a fear of possible theft during community crisis) is treated as more important than everyday people getting adequate shelter from the elements.

its been 9 years and I'm still obsessed with this line read

something about this made me scramble to make this edit

I designed a critter 🐛

somehow this doggo comes to mind…

if only karl marx had written something about this phenomenon

Emily M. Bender and Nanna Inie, We Need to Talk About How We Talk About 'AI'

The discussions around the murder of Renee Good are such a clear case study for the need for intersectional frameworks. There are lots of claims that she is the “first US citizen killed by ICE” which not only is not true, she is not even the first of 2026. There is both a massive erasure of the victims before her, and an erasure of Renee’s own identity and connections that made her a more acceptable target for both murder and smearing.

Everyone MUST contend with:

1. US citizens are falsely labeled as non-citizens or had their citizenship “stripped” and are deported and then sometimes killed elsewhere

2. US citizens, Lawful Permanent Residents (LPRs), are “deported” to places they have never lived and are at the mercy of new countries, sometimes those that will kill them or imprison them again

3. Lawful Permanent Residents are killed in custody

4. US citizens are disappeared from their homes and record of them is lost

5. Native Americans born and raised on these lands with US documents are placed into legal limbo and killed and imprisoned and sometimes deported to places they have never visited let alone lived in

6. US citizens killed on US soil or abroad taking peaceful action against an armed oppressor if not attacked going about their days, are routinely distanced from their citizenship, when it serves the narrative

7. Renee was a queer woman with a masc wife and her identity is being used as justification for her murder and proof of her “corruption” when it isnt completely omitted outright

8. Renee’s wife’s identity and attitude is also being used to justify Renee’s murder

9. Renee was politically vocal and is being held up as proof of “left-wing extremism”

10. Renee is being labeled a domestic terrorist using language, ordinances, and memos that have been coming out for a long while

Renee is the latest in a long line of murders and violence that will continue on, and it is crucial to understand that no this is not new, yes it is just as important to care about nonwhite citizens and non-citizens of all races, yes your legal status and loyalty will be called into question once you are dead and it helps no one to make excuses for why the murder is legal, yes “it could happen to (you)” but understand why it hasn’t—what makes you different—and as the differences get smaller and smaller, recognize when is the time to do something about it
