ND. Secular witchcraft and paganism. Sewing, (Tunisian) crochet, yelling at clouds. Please pay the cat tax 🐈‍⬛

Vintage rayon black dress with white butterflies, and yellow, blue, pink and green flowers. Attempting to zigzag stitch over a very mangled and shredded seam allowance in an attempt to keep it from shredding more, and get a little more life out of it.
Disabled person and activist here. If anyone wanted to campaign for accessibility in books, they'd advocate for official translations by linguistics professionals in languages like Basic English, which are versions of a language with strict rules, specifically crafted for people with learning difficulties and those learning a language. But these people would never do that, cause they don't give a shit about us and know nothing about our lives and fights for justice. We're not your punchline or gotcha moment for when you feel defensive about your ignorance. There are many, many ways we could improve accessibility in the publishing industry, but "big words" is not one of them.

YouTuber @victorialove9104 replied to a young woman’s list of crochet wearables for summertime: Not a single top, not even one, that could comfortably be worn by an older woman. We exist. We matter. We crochet. And we love spring and summer too.

A pink cotton crochet soap saver using that weird “eyelash” yarn I found thrifting. It’s worked in the round, and uses single crochet for the top and bottom, and the main body uses the puff stitch.
