I missed world embroidery day last week, but i wanted to post some of the embroideries I've done in the last year. (Mostly small pieces) #embroidery #fiberart The credits for the art are in the second post attached to this one.

Zach Bussey 🍁@zachbussey.tos.gg · 5d agoTwitch and Amazon are apparently planning to use streams to train Generative AI. Multiple sources tell me it will be announced in the coming months, despite some internal friction against it. Creators may be able to opt out of some training data.

I'm losing the will to keep going. I can't seem to get a break. I don't know what else to cut. My job is not enough. Moving only held it off a few months. I don't know where else to go or what else to do.

The finished Tour de Fleece sweater spin! It should be done drying now, but this was taken prior to washing on Saturday. Happy to have it done. Now for a little break from spinning. #handspinning #tourdefleece #fiberarts
Nanjing Paleontological Museum has an in-house traditional Chinese artist, Li Chen, creating paintings of famous Chinese dinosaurs. These are from 2022 exhibition "From Dragon to Bird" and can be purchased in the museum as postcards or book《从龙到鸟系列 科学艺术化石复原图》
Hobbit embroidery I've been working on for the last few months. I finally finished it last night. I worked with @scintillant-h.bsky.social who did the original art for this piece. #embroidery #fiberart
The first of my plied yarns from tdf from last night. I still have 6 more bobbins to ply, but this was one of the 7 braids. #handspinning #fiberarts #tourdefleece
Preview of a piece I'm almost done with that has been a collab with @scintillant-h.bsky.social Hoping to have actual photos of the finished piece to post by the end of the week. (No it's not destiny)
Tdf singles done. Going to spend the rest of tdf plying. Probably going to take a short break from spinning after this to do other crafts because this has been a marathon. #spinning #handspinning #tourdefleece
- Malls are dead - Every “third space” basically requires you to spend $30 to get in. - There are barely any part-time jobs available for teens because people with MASTERS DEGREES are in those jobs because of AI and the economy. Need I go on?
I have somehow slated 5 embroidery pieces to be done by the end of the year. I may have made a mistake.

Big thanks to @tweetisaurus.bsky.social @profpaulbarrett.bsky.social and @stevebrusatte.bsky.social for talking me through the real cost of dinosaur auctions. $50 mil is just the surface of what's lost when fossils wind up in people's living rooms @iflscience.com www.iflscience.com/50-million-d...

20 years is but an instant to a geologist when knowing that all of the right reasons for loving that rock may have been billions of years in the making.

We are not designed or equipped to withstand this onslaught of world changes. We were never meant to live like this. So treat yourself with kindness, be gentle and patient. Reality is mean enough, you don’t need to be too.

250 million years ago there was a massive release of greenhouse gases and ok sure it led to the extinction of most life on earth but after that we got dinosaurs

Trying dating apps again and I want to throw them into the sun. They're such scams and I hate every moment of being on them. But I failed at meeting people irl and I don't go out enough so what choice do I have.
Tour de Fleece progress as of day 3. Failed to take a photo yesterday, but i only managed like half an oz anyway. #spinning #tourdefleece
Debating about posting an embroidery wip. I don't want to overshadow it when it's done and it's not destiny. It's about at the 50% mark right now and I've been making a lot of progress recently even with tdf.
