This is so obvious it's almost petty to talk about, but it keeps happening so I am increasingly faced with needing to decide to bring it up. Can everyone who advocates for not reposting art and for crediting artists start bringing that same energy to photographs of traditional art? Especially fiber arts and sewing related things, due to very prolific scraping accounts that repost things from elsewhere on the internet here to tumblr and a few years ago stopped crediting the artists at all. They never asked permission, but credit has just dried up entirely and it's galling to see.

I know non fiber artists don't really have the experience to see this, but just like visual arts, fiber artists develop pretty clear styles. So if a blog is posting elaborate pieces of infamously time consuming arts that cover a wide range of styles, once or twice a day, with no credits or discussion of themselves as an artist - that shit's stolen as fuck.

It feels like I'm going insane sometimes because thousands of people who otherwise yell all day about how artists need to be credited, just think that sewing related photographs pop into existence without needing to be linked to the person that made them.

'Deny with love my labour' - Bon Iver - 8 (circle)

Making art out of these lyrics has been kickin around my brain for years now.

An accumulation of my feelings about the devaluation of fiber arts, dayjob things, and AI stealing artists labour and then taking their jobs, claiming to love the outputs of artists but denying the work and livlihood of the people who make it.

A message to all non-fiber artists: there is no bigger sign of love and appreciation than a fiber artist making you something out of black yarn

I finished my first ever crochet blanket! Sure it was made with a 10mm hook (on worsted weight yarn), and sure it's not the tidiest thing ever, but I'm so fucking proud of myself!

Also here's Max again. Isn't she great? I love her.

The void is howling but maybe if I keep filling it with grandma crafts I’ll be able to stop obsessing over the slow and yet inevitable march towards the heat death of the universe

Also I made this

[uncanny-tranny]

I think many people conceptualize manhood as destruction and womanhood as creation in such a way that transition has been really wild to parse my experiences and how they fit.

I am simultaneously creating the self and destroying the self in such a way that people don't... know how to react sometimes. I've really noticed this as I've given less and less care as to what I present myself as, because now, I am truly only concerned with myself rather than my perception. Once I got over the bioessentialist idea that to be a man was to destroy, and I can't create because that's only for women (or, for those forced to create), I started caring much less.

I think that's interesting, is all
