Aunt Fancy

After listening to a composer discuss how ai is transforming & destroying his industry, I was driven to create this piece. Embroidered on my hand-controlled #chainstitchembroidery machine w my interpretation of a famous woodcut of a Luddite destroying a jacquard loom. #fiberart #generativeai

I'm gonna be obsessing about this, can some photographers weigh in? Or people that attended the rally for Hourcar?

Never ceases to amaze me how totally zonked I feel after a market. I love peopling but once I get home from selling all day I feel like my social battery has been smashed with a hammer

This is my new favorite joke. I am hilarious.

I'm at Strange Times Market doing embroidery on the spot today til 5! Lots of other great vendors here too. Happening in the Acme Annex at 26th and 28th (across from the old Lawless distillery)

Why does everything want you to check in early now? Isn't the point of check in to say "I have arrived at the location?"

Remember how it used to be that you could only get bland ass red delicious apples and occasionally granny smiths? We're in a real apple renaissance now and it's great.

Sometimes just to prove to myself I'm not crazy I look up how much commercial space rents for in Chicago. And, no, I'm not crazy it is actually cheaper there (in most neighborhoods) than in Minneapolis. Why. WHY.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: we must fully integrate and prioritize the needs of the most vulnerable people in our society—children and elders—or we will continue on this doom spiral.

To quote @marciaxthree.bsky.social: a protest ain't a protest unless you're fucking up someone's day.

I'm sure the use of "destiny" and how similar this sounds to "manifest destiny" and the genocide of the indigenous people of the Americas is simply a coincidence

emergency evacuation flight angels ask: we don’t have a united miles donor large enough to handle this, it has to be booked together due to the kids flying. and the flight is happening TOMORROW, one of the only flights that meets the family’s needs. help us keep them together: @ziibiing on venmo

Love when bsky folks come in for embroidery! I'm at Audrey Rose Vintage in Longfellow til 4 today if you want to come get your own rebel loon on the spot.

Hello everyone, I am here to tell you that @christin-with-mpls.bsky.social has incredible financial skills, comes from a science/med tech background, and is great with budgets.

The real trolley problem is that we don’t sufficiently fund public transit. Give it the money it needs so we can serve and / or kill the general public!

This is not beautiful to see. This is the most racist democracy on planet earth, and people just expect Black people to sing negro spirituals and "overcome." It's not working. This still happens for one reason and one reason only: white US folk don't hold each other accountable for this racism.

the 30-year mortage--a financially preposterous product that was created wholesale by the government--is de facto rent control for the middle class, yet doesn't attract this kind of shrieking condemnation. curious!

Haven't turned the heat on yet this season and really struggling as to whether today is it bc our house will heat up quickly once the sun comes back out...

RETVRN

They took Ilhan’s PASSPORT?! Um

A friend asked me to embroider a jacket for her husband's bday and this is what I made, I'm so happy with how this turned out! If you're interested in custom chainstitch embroidery I'll be stitching on the spot at Audrey Rose vintage in Longfellow this Fri, Sat, and Sun.

None of these budget bullies are tough enough to admit that after MPD staged its wildcat strike post-GFS, the city made a devil’s deal to buy them off with huge raises, making this budget crisis inevitable (if delayed by Biden’s COVID dough). And we haven’t even hit charter minimum MPD staffing.

The language materials seem to be safe!
