'You'll choke too' - an aerial embroidery landscape inspired by all the wildfires happening right now... I'm upset every time I smell smoke outside and somehow we have people starting them maliciously too! But we all breathe the same air so they'll choke too (1/2 - see thread for close-ups)

An embroidery hoop containing a sewn landscape from above. It shows a forest on the right, a line of fire and charred ground with smoke on the left. The smoke is felted wool.

"but harry potter was so important to me-" with love and light and all respect, grow up. you can love something and not venerate it. you can say "i really liked these" and not spend your entire life obsessed with it. they're half-assed okay written children's books, man. read better books.

Maybe it’s still too soon but since it’s already being memory-holed, maybe not: it’s time to put up markers and ceremonial gravestones to acknowledge people who died of COVID-19, as there are for other epidemics. We can start by sponsoring memorials on park benches. www.hmdb.org/results.asp?...

Ceremonial gravestone in Oaklawn Cemetery in Tampa, Florida. It reads:

In memory of the victims of the yellow fever epidemics of 1853, 1858, 1867, 1871 and 1887-88 who are buried in Oaklawn.Ryan White (1971-1990) historical marker in Cicero, Indiana. It reads:

Kokomo native Ryan White was diagnosed with AIDS in 1984 after contracting the virus from a contaminated hemophilia treatment. He faced intense discrimination from his community in a time of fear and misunderstanding about AIDS and was prevented from attending school in his hometown. Hamilton Heights High School welcomed White in 1987 after the family moved to Cicero.

Anticipating White's arrival, Hamilton Heights developed an acclaimed AIDS education campaign. White raised national AIDS awareness while battling the disease and spoke before the Presidential Commission on the HIV Epidemic. He was named Sagamore of the Wabash for his advocacy. The Ryan White CARE Act, providing funds for HIV/AIDS treatment, passed soon after his death.
 
Erected 2019 by Indiana Historical Bureau and Hamilton Heights School Corporation.

it’s pretty obvious that a lot of people remember that COVID lockdowns were unpleasant and from there just extrapolate that they were therefore bad policy

i don't know how to explain to some folks that i don't want to move, that being unable to visit the land that raised me feels like a physical pain in my chest. i don't want to leave; i want to be welcome to stay in the only home i've ever known.

tldr i got served an eviction notice this morning & my bank account is in the negatives right now. the past 2 months have been a nightmare and my situation just keeps going from bad to worse (more in-depth explanation in the 3rd pic) ko-fi.com/corantus/
