honestly surprised the Texas GOP hasn’t proposed that we arm ALL school children
ashley fairbanks (@ziibiing.com) reply parent
all those kids murdered in Uvalde and the action that came after was to make it easier to buy guns because apparently the police don’t have enough to stop school shooters

imagine “police would encourage gunowners to not fire their weapons at random children in the street but we literally don’t even know who owns these things”
ashley fairbanks (@ziibiing.com) reply parent
“police encouraged parents to tell their children to not play games like this” OH THATS WHAT WE’RE GOING WITH?
ashley fairbanks (@ziibiing.com)
watching coverage of the ding-dong-ditch shooting in Houston on national news is crazy-making “police say they found several weapons in the suspect’s home” yes. people in Texas can get unlimited guns without any safety measures—no background check, license, course, anything! it’s grab and go!

I want to encourage those of you who procrastinate like I do about using my FSA/HSA funds and then end up leaving money on the table to consider the FSA Store as a way to spend down funds & order Plan B etc... to donate to community groups, etc.

it’s a bit rough if you aren’t in a major urban area or don’t have an independent fabric story nearby
Fossilized Tree Sap (@amberrl.bsky.social) reposted
Yes to Ashley’s whole post! 90% of the reason I learned to sew was because I had a few shirts from Old Navy that I loved but were not really wearable anymore. I took apart the seams and traced the pieces onto better fabric. Boom, way higher quality versions of my fave tops! Highly recommend.
ashley fairbanks (@ziibiing.com) reply parent
i would just read reviews and shop with reputable folks
ashley fairbanks (@ziibiing.com) reply parent
there are also sooooo many great print-and-piece patterns on etsy.
ashley fairbanks (@ziibiing.com) reply parent
as clothing becomes more and more disposable, knowing how to sew is punk as hell. don’t let them take skills from us!
ashley fairbanks (@ziibiing.com)
reminder if you don’t know, don’t cut your sewing patterns! trace them! have patterns you really love? trace them onto pattern paper, or even just cardstock. laminate them at the teacher store! also: support small pattern creators! learn to draft patterns! deconstruct your old clothes!

I don't get how people don't realize that a technology that replaces junior and entry level positions in a field destroys that field. There's no skipping steps. You have to be a junior before you can be a senior, and if you don't have senior people, you don't have a field.

imagine if trad wife content was just them making bologna sandwiches on wonder bread and whipping up TV dinners ideologically it would make more sense, I guess
ashley fairbanks (@ziibiing.com)
this is my favorite thing anyone has ever called woke. processed white sandwich bread, which is less than 100 years old, is some how more traditional than sourdough, which has existed for millennia. which has flavor because it is…natural? and is irregularly shaped because it is…handmade?

My students, who attend a working-class rust-belt college, openly talk abt how much they hate AI & are afraid of its consequences. I wonder how much of the oft-reported student enthusiasm for the tech is the merely result of the NYT’s Ivy League bias

It takes a lot of courage to organize. It also takes a lot of humility. To say, I can’t solve this problem or challenge this system by myself and I gotta work with others. And we don’t know if this is gonna work, but it’s worth trying.
