Help Niya & Charley get out of Georgia (country)
queer people are getting the short end of the stick again so we'd appreciate some help in our move 🙏
Hi! we're Niya and Charley, a bisexual Russian woman and lesbian American enby living in Batumi, Georgia, for the past two years. We've been in a loving relationship for 8 year now.
Our original plan was for Niya to get a fiancée Visa to move to the US, but that was placed on hold indefinitely due to the pandemic and a certain Russian territorial conflict making it difficult for Russians to obtain a visa through embassies. At the time, Georgia seemed like the best alternative, and, as charming as our stay has been for the most part, it is increasingly becoming unsafe for LGBT couples. A new bill was passed trying to make "LGBT propaganda" illegal, which in Niya's experience as a Russian, means "anything they don't like, they can claim is illegal". While Georgia's president does plan to veto this bill, it has been stirring up anger and unnecessary attention to queer people regardless and led to a spike in discriminatory violence already. Even before things got this bad, Charley has had rocks thrown at them, screamed at, and been refused entry to public places for wearing normal feminine clothes.
We are currently looking into moving to Mexico, as that is another place both of us have easy access to a half year visa. Moving countries has never been an easy decision, but we've done it before, and with your help, we can do it again, for the sake of our safety.
Thank you!

It'll probably be a little quiet around here for a while as I'm super busy working on things I can't show yet, but I hope everyone is having a lovely start to their September 💛

I'm so excited to announce Loish's Digital Art School! I've been working on this for a long time and I'm so glad I can finally share it with you all. This is for those of you who are looking for brushes, tutorials, and other super helpful learning content!
Loish's Digital Art School is a collection of resources for digital artists that includes video tutorials, brushes, palettes, challenges, and more. Most importantly, it’s free! I know how important it is to have access to helpful information, especially if you’re self-taught. To get access, just head on over to Loish.School ❤️
less sunny today but still out spinning!!! also, i really cannot overstate how utterly utterly gorgeous this fibre is. it’s opalescent, and almost glows from the inside…
no pics to share sadly, but the mock neck tank I'm knitting is coming right along! my row gauge (the height of my stitches) is quite a bit shorter than the pattern gauge, though
I'm trying to do some improv mods to the pattern to ensure a good fit in spite of this, but I haven't really done any... math... just going on vibes. We'll see how badly that comes back to bite me hehe.
A bug! A beetle bug!

What a terrible world we live in where you can google wild plants or bugs because you're interested in them and the first results are all "how do I kill this"
Because I needed the reminder and maybe you do too: the best way to deal with political frustration is to do something.
A real and immediate impact you can have that will directly help a Palestinian is to buy an eSIM and send it to gazaesims@gmail.com. This allows Gazans to access mobile data so they can get news out and keep in touch with their friends and family.
If you have never done this before, here is a step by step guide, complete with discount codes. It is slightly technical but still fairly easy (imo, ymmv). If you can't/don't want to buy one directly, you can donate to Crips for eSIMs and they will buy one on your behalf.
You don't have to top up the eSIMs when they get low/run out, but I find it comforting to do so. It means somebody is still alive, and that you've made a hellish experience a tiny bit less terrible.
the weather was gorgeous today, so you bet ur buttons I was at the park soaking it up (and knitting!!)
here's a little peek at the sky blue color I mentioned choosing for this project (mini mock neck tank by jesse maed designs) ft. my swatch
I'm holding a handdyed tonal fingering yarn with a white laceweight mohair/silk to make it fluffy and soft like a cloud ☁︎⋅

I have had this beautiful pattern from Jesse Maed Designs waiting in my library for way too long! I love the design and wearing tanks like this and I've had a hankering to knit a garment for months. Something quick though! It's been a good bit since I've knitted anything. ... and I finally got this on my needles today! Yippee!
