Reminder that I have a very free pieced throw pillow pattern on my website. Great for using up scraps leftover from a quilt (which is why I came up with the design haha). www.kagcomix.com/sewingpatterns

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

Alright time to watch martha moore porter's video where she sews the Vogue x Claude Montana 2592 sewing pattern for the like 10th time because I'm trying to ape the front placket pattern & graft it to another sewing pattern.

I’m on SSDI and I need help covering the cost of new glasses. The frames are on sale for $79, which is amazing, but I can use any help anyone wants to share. If anyone wants to help out my venmo is benwrex. Thank you! #mutualaid

riding the absolute high of multiple outfit compliments while out & about today

The number of 20 something folk who tell me they're 'so old' or 'it's too late for ...' and in my head I'm screaming.

Isekai as a genre is exploding in popularity because it appeals to a universal desire to get hit by a truck rather than live in the 21st century.

I'm fascinated by romance novel reviews that are like 'I HATE the trope this plot is built on. this is a BAD book." Kinda feels like showing up to an italian restaurant & rating it 1 star because you hate pasta. Ma'am, you knew what was on the menu!!!!

Careful everyone if you see this anywhere online! From Reddit but I saw it on my Mac on a diff website today 🤡☝️

'but AI is the only way i can afford to make an event flyer' notebook paper. sharpie. here is my event. photograph with phone. post. be less stupid in the future

borrowing ebooks and audiobooks from the library is changing my liiiiiiiiiiiiife

I read Sangu Mandanna's "A Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches" recently & it had such a bonkers twist at the end that I went from "ehn this is kind of formulaic and fine" to "well i need to see what Mandanna does next because this was WILD."

I hate it here ... 🫠 New from me, on the Canadian discount coffee chain in the year 2026 (!!) choosing to partner with the British anti-trans lady's three-decade-old children's book series ⬇️ xtramagazine.com/culture/tim-...

I'm making a big 4 sewing pattern for the first time since like high school (minus the vintage patterns i've been messing with) and their print at home format is kind of evil.

if you're trying to get into drawing environments but worried about perspective, my hot take is don't worry about it at all. It's a lot more important that things FEEL in perspective than actually being in perspective, and that usually comes from strong composition, scaling and shapes

pretty good palette in my recent swatches

I just finished Nalini Singh's "Angel's Blood" & i feel like at some point i should put together a little zine or something rating all the vampire series I've read.

yup that's right: I drive a really big truck. I can't stay in my lane when I drive it and I always take up two or more spaces when I park. And sure, it immediately turns any child into a fine mist when I hit them, but I can't see it happen anyway. I just need to feel safe when I drive to the store

i'm so excited for the quilts i have planned for the babies in my life 😈

book scam spam emails are significantly funnier when they name my graphic novel for adults. "Subject: Kathleen, I Hated You in High School." Okay buddy! I'm sure you're not the only one who did!!

I just read a report that said that everybody who draws comics is super hot and also has a great sense of humor

Love this Pride Parade poster from 94 in the back hallway at City Hall

just learned Andrew Lloyd Webber's "I Don't Know How To Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar was initially a flop pop song called "Kansas City" that began "🎵I love Kansas City mornings...🎵" WRITING IS REWRITING kids.

This is the same company that demolished the Little Mountain social housing complex in 2009, with plans to build new social housing on the site, instead leaving it empty and fenced off for over 10 years. What's been built there up to this point still isn't open or ready to live in.

This project by Holborn Group includes proposals for three buildings that would be the tallest in the city and sits on the edge of the downtown eastside. Some of us remember what happened to rents when the Woodward's building went up (they skyrocketed)
