if your class solidarity doesn’t include people who are on SSI, food stamps, or are unable to work it’s not solidarity
Kofi only allows 10 photos per listing and some of my sets have 12 items each. So here's an array of the product photos of the "Pocket Fox Pals" collection.
This listing is for a SMALL crochet pocket fox type amigurumi. This item is a finished product, NOT A PATTERN! Each item is handmade so sizes/colors/shapes will vary.
These items have been made in a home with a cat so if you have allergies, please let me know ahead of time!!
Item Details: Approximate height: Ranging between 4.75 in/12 cm and 6.5 in/16.5 cm tall Materials used: Acrylic yarn, plastic safety eyes, poly fill stuffing, embroidery thread, felt, E6000 glue
*Washing instructions: Recommended spot cleaning by hand, but can be washed with a washing machine in a laundry bag (delicate setting and warm water) and air dried.
**The patterns for these items were created and designed by 53Stitches, and handmade by Sly Fox of Nerdvana Crafts. These items are intended as fanart, and I am in no way affiliated with Pokemon. These characters are owned and copyrighted by Pokemon.

I cannot stress enough how important it is to do silly, frivolous things that serve no other purpose than making you happy.

Sealing the second side of the keychains using diluted modpodge this time and so far, everyone's looking way better and less washed out. Here's hoping my solution worked!
Too hecking cute!!
Mama Hens are back! Mama hen is a pattern I made all the way back in 2015 for Amigurumi.com's animal's at work themed contest. I decided the pattern needed a bit of updating.
Now, you too can make a mama hen in cotton yarn along with her apron and tiny spatula. Or, if you like, you can purchase one already made on my website (link in bio).
i can't believe i have to fucking say it because i'm an educator so like how is it possible nobody else has said this.
unless a person is actively making materials/etc for children, they do not need to worry about your kid.
your child gets respect as a human. that's it. nobody's private life/artistic endeavors/unrelated interests must be controlled for the sake of your kid.
educators and athletes and artists do not have to live in chastity because your kid might see us on our days off. we do not owe it to your kid to only write poems about bunnies and only sing songs about tying your shoes. i do not care how much a person has given to children, if they are acting as an adult in adult spheres, they are allowed to. they are adults. it is your job as a caregiver to raise your kid and keep them out of adult spheres, not our job to keep ourselves out of those spheres just in case.
guess what! adult role models are going to bars and hooking up and dancing and being adults! this is so they have the mental energy to do all the child-centric things.
"it makes me feel weird to picture them like that!" i don't know how to tell you this but actors aren't actually their roles. the customer-service personality your waitress has is probably not her actual personality. the way teachers interact with students is not the way that they interact with their private lives, and it shouldn't be.
"this tells kids this kind of behavior is okay!" actually it's showing kids a normal and natural progression of a person's life, boundaries, and bodily autonomy. it's showing kids that adults are dynamic human beings. kids already know this. they know there's places they're not allowed and things they don't understand yet. it's just that you have icky feelings because you were raised in a society with black-and-white morality.
celebrities don't owe your children perfection, modesty, sobriety. and you know something? it's way healthier when they don't. "this is a person, who gets up every morning and does their job - but also has adult interests, which you'll learn about later" is way healthier as a role model than "you should be perfect like the curated image of this person and if you're not perfect you should be deeply ashamed."
anyway. idk why "think of the children!!!!" is making a comeback as a popular stance. but to be clear? it's a way of saying "this makes me feel uncomfortable, but i don't know why, and i don't feel like untangling it, so i'll blame you for it and hope you feel guilty about my children."
My queers, we really need to put the "no men" thing away. Men are not inherently bad. There are queer men. There are questioning men. There's men that are just plain cool. Denying these men a space at our table is not helping - except the TERFs. I just came off the back of reading a transphobe gleeful rant about the need to have pride without men - They of course mean me. This kind of stuff is damaging to me and I really need us all to take a step back and maybe kill this "men dni, men not allowed" stuff. What you mean is "no men who are going to do mean stuff to me." And frankly those men won't give a shit about that kind of boundary.
But I promise you there's a fleet of good honest men who will see that and be sad they're not allowed in your version of queer spaces.

All of my creations are intended as fan art, and because I use a variety of patterns, their sizes will vary as well!
