HEY!

Last time I say, PLEASE VOTE. Lots at stake this time. Anyone who tells you not to is full of crap.

I’ll see you on the flip side.

don’t make me a liar ‘cause I swear to God

when I said it I thought it was true

More needle painting shenanigans.

Pattern is by Trish Burr, which I bought for practice. And I went and bought actual DMC For this one instead of off brand floss.

The next piece I do won’t have the sticky print on stabilizer, I’ll actually draw on the fabric with some fabric marking pens. I like the stabilizer, but it’s a bear to get out of detailed projects.

Enjoy this process shot! The actual piece is almost done. I just don’t know when I’ll finish it.

I’ve said this every election since I earned my citizenship. I worked hard to earn my right to vote and I’m gonna vote. And I participated in early voting so…

Ya’ll better go vote.

Ya hear me? GO VOTE. I don’t care if you live in an overwhelmingly red state (I do) and think your vote won’t count. VOTE ANYWAY. I’ve seen it swing the other way before, and I’ve watched my local government become more blue with each passing election.

Change starts at the roots. At the local level and it builds as a wave. But ya gotta VOTE to build the WAVE.

So if you are eligible- GO VOTE. VOTE like your right to vote and right to voice your opinion, and right exist depends on it. It might just depend on it.

A friendly reminder to USians: if you are planning to vote on Election Day, your mantra is "Nothing I see today convinces me not to go vote."

Exit polls suggest DT cannot be caught? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Exit polls suggest KH has it in the bag? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly red? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly blue? YOU STILL GO VOTE.

Polls can be misleading (intentionally or not). The methodology can be biased (or simply poor). Early results may not reflect what the full count will show. There may be a red mirage. NOTHING YOU SEE CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

The biggest Democratic win in swing states means nothing if democrats don't turn out everywhere to keep the reliably blue states blue.

VOTE. Wear appropriate weather gear if you think you may have to stand in a line outside (coat, hat, gloves, umbrella, sunhat, whatever, you know where you live). Bring water and a snack and something to do (book, game on your phone, podcast and headphones, whatever, you know what you like). GO VOTE.

NOTHING YOU SEE ON ELECTION DAY CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.

I did the thing today.

Reminder to all who are eligible to go vote, vote early if you can.

Don’t play into the party politics trap, look at the actual issues, and do your research on your candidates.

That said- I hope a certain Pachederym party gets yeeted into the sun.

:D

:D

In 2021, I took Emillie Ferris’ class on thread painting. I then bought a couple of her patterns from Etsy, started this one, and then everything got put away when what’s now my office got remodeled.

I was going through things and found all my embroidery supplies and this painted lady butterfly a quarter finished, and went, ya know I could finish that…

Painting/drawing and I aren’t talking 100% yet, so PERFECT creative outlet.

there are enough tumblr users who can vote in US battleground states to literally swing the election, do you realize that?? the election is going to come down to like 80’000 votes in those states — that could be your vote! so if you live in pennsylvania, georgia, arizona, nevada, north carolina, wisconsin, michigan, etccc your vote is going to make a huge, huge difference. please for the love of god vote (and if you live in a different state, you still need to vote too)

Hey students, here’s a pro tip: do not write an email to your prof while you’re seriously sick.

Signed, a person who somehow came up with “dear hello, I am sick and not sure if I’ll be alive to come tomorrow and I’m sorry, best slutantions, [name]”.

I didn’t think I’d get lucky. I GOT LUCKY! And I am going back out in my back yard to get more as soon as the values go back up again.

I CANT BELIEVE I SAW THIS?! HERE! WHAT?

Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.

If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.

Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.)

So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)
