A little too much anger, too often or at the wrong time, can destroy more than you would ever imagine.

Handmaid’s Tale book rebind

I drew this cover in procreate and made it with inlays. And it gave me a hard time from start to finish. I made some questionable choices when it came to putting the pieces together and it frayed the edges of the thin line a little too much to my taste. Some pieces of cloth needed to be reglued to its backing. It was a whole mess.

It’s far from perfect but for a second attempt at inlays I’m very damn proud of it. I learned a lot from it and will definitely do things a little differently next time. And use a sharper blade on my cricut!

I learned just now that a bill proposing a federal abortion ban recently entered the House.

Please, please contact your House representatives and tell them to stop this bill. It's only recently been introduced, so there is plenty of time for it to die in the House. And especially spam the inboxes of the sponsor and cosponsor bitches supporting it:

Cosponsors - H.R.722 - 119th Congress (2025-2026): To implement equal protection under the 14th article of amendment to the Constitution for the right to life of each born and preborn human person. | Congress.gov | Library of Congress

Let's not turn into Gilead, please.

Can you do me a favor. If you’re deeply upset and worried about the state of the world right now- if you’re angry, afraid of losing your rights, leave a note on this post? My mom has been shouting at me for being upset and insisting it’s just me and saying I’m delusional and I’d like to prove her wrong.

Seth Milchick reminds me of Aunt Lydia, they both work for evil organizations and hurt people in service of that organization, they’ve both deluded themselves into thinking they are good people because sometimes they show kindness to the slaves they are in charge of, this is undercut by their cruelty

It's not a man's working hours that is important, it is how he spends his leisure time.

The Testaments by Margaret Atwood

The River at Ascutney, 1942 Maxfield Parrish

* * * *

Every prayer seemed long to me at that age, and I was truly bone tired. I tried to keep my eyes closed, but after a while I had to look around a little. And this is something I remember very well. At first I thought I saw the sun setting in the east; I knew where east was, because the sun was just over the horizon when we got there that morning. Then I realized that what I saw was a full moon rising just as the sun was going down. Each of them was standing on its edge, with the most wonderful light between them. It seemed as if you could touch it, as if there were palpable currents of light passing back and forth, or as if there were great taut skeins of light suspended between them. I wanted my father to see it, but I knew I’d have to startle him out of his prayer, and I wanted to do it the best way, so I took his hand and kissed it. And then I said, “Look at the moon.” And he did. We just stood there until the sun was down and the moon was up. They seemed to float on the horizon for quite a long time, I suppose because they were both so bright you couldn’t get a clear look at them. And that grave, and my father and I, were exactly between them, which seemed amazing to me at the time, since I hadn’t given much thought to the nature of the horizon. My father said, “I would never have thought this place could be beautiful. I’m glad to know that.”
