Sign the petition for a new law now! The future must be ours to shape. Our lives must be ours to decide.

For my fellow Europeans

I’m not going to stop reblogging this.

This is an official European Citizens’ Initiative to change EU law to ban Biometric Mass Surveillance.

1 million signatures need to be gathered during a period of 12 months - to date it’s only at 39K plus a bit o_O

Only citizens from a EU country old enough to vote in European Parliament elections may support it.

Quote from the text:

We call on the European Commission to strictly regulate the use of biometric technologies in order to avoid undue interference with fundamental rights. In particular, we ask the Commission to prohibit, in law and in practice, indiscriminate or arbitrarily-targeted uses of biometrics which can lead to unlawful mass surveillance. These intrusive systems must not be developed, deployed (even on a trial basis) or used by public or private entities insofar as they can lead to unnecessary or disproportionate interference with people’s fundamental rights.

Evidence shows that uses of biometric mass surveillance in Member States and by EU agencies have resulted in violations of EU data protection law, and unduly restricted people‘s rights including their privacy, right to free speech, right to protest and not to be discriminated against. The widespread use of biometric surveillance, profiling and prediction is a threat to the rule of law and our most basic freedoms.

In this ECI, we therefore urge the Commission to propose a legal act which will build upon, and fully respect, the general prohibitions in the GDPR and the LED to ensure that EU law explicitly and specifically prohibits biometric mass surveillance.

I’ve recently completed another bee-themed hoop art, in which explains the drone (male) bees and their role in the bee hive. Flower sequins and beads were used, while I hand embroidered the bees, stems, leaves and the short message about the role of the drone bee.

@werdbytes @biggirlintheredcoat A customer’s shopping bag that I just had to get a picture of. :)

biggirlintheredcoat

This is a brilliant shopping bag, @the-06. I’m glad you got a photo of it when you did.

Here are photos of my embroidery projects, two of which I had forgotten to post. One is an embroidery hoop art of a sunflower, the second is a pillow case embroidery of flowers.

The most recent project is an embroidery hoop art of bees and pollen; you’d be surprised what you’d learn about workers bees in a beekeeping book. Flower sequins and beads were added to give the impression of the worker bees collecting pollen from the flowers.

There isn’t a petition for this yet (as far as I know) but sign the #JunkTerrorBillNow petition

Contacting your reps directly will do literally so much more than signing a petition, and it really doesn't take that much longer.

Just so you know, this isn’t partisan either, so don’t think you don’t have to act just cus you’re from a hard red or hard blue state. The bill’s current cosponsors include such notable names as D: Dianne Feinstein (CA) Dick Blumenthal (CT) Doug Jones (AL) Sheldon Whitehouse (RI) Dick Durbin (IL) R: Ted Cruz (TX) Josh Hawley (MO) Lindsey Graham (SC) Chuck Grassley (IA) And it passed the Senate Judiciary Committee by unanimous approval. So make sure you call your reps and senators because everyone’s out to screw you right now.

Here it is - my finished embroidery hoop art with the Queen Bee being the main focus. The ‘Queen Bees get the party started’ message and the buntin were done in different multicolour embroidery threads, and the buntin line was done in black and yellow thread. The whole body of the queen bee was done in satin stitch, except for her legs and the wing details, which was done with back stitch.

The pink, blue and white flower sequins with pearl-white beads make a nice decoration for the hoop art. And of course, you can’t have the queen bee without her little crown. This is a project that I am really happy with, as the colours were shown together on a plain cotton fabric.

@the-06, here is an embroidery hoop art piece I did with your ‘censorship never works’ slogan. While it does have a sun and flowers, the message is simple and effective.

@mapplestrudel

This is one of my embroidery projects that I haven’t had the chance to show. It has a simple, but effective message: save your internet.

My current work-in-progress; I’ve been working on a embroidery piece, with the queen bee being the main focus.

My second recent project is an embroidery hoop art of a 1920s flapper; the satin stitch was used for the colours, while back-stitch was used for the outlines (with french knots added for the eyes). I also used sequins to make the sleeves, and did beadwork to make the necklaces.

Overall, I am pleased with how the embroidery hoop art piece turned out, and I hope to make another flapper piece one day.

One of my two recent projects is an applique house embroidery hoop art. The background fabric is cotton hand-dyed in tumeric, the fabric pieces is kimono off cuts that I upcycled to create the applique piece, with blanket stitch and back-stitch to keep the pieces in place (with the bush having added french knots to create the impression of a rose bush).

The beads, which were bought second hand, are used to make a path. Other small details were also employed; the fly stitch was used to create the ivy on the applique house.

I am quite happy with this piece, as I have not tried doing applique in such a long time.

"My condolences on your current plague. We haven't seen the likes of that since the Necropolis Plague of 440k." Raziel said with a curt nod.

From beside him under the eaves of the courtyard the cobbled king of corpses let a wheezing sigh escape his slack lips.

"What happens in the Necropolis stays in the Necropolis." Melchiah rasped.

biggirlintheredcoat

Now I’d like to know what happened at Melchiah’s land at the time, but I’ll probably regret asking about it.
