Embroidery by Emily Tirella inspired by Rupi Kaur 

“Trying something new and making something for myself. This poem has been in my head for a few months now and every time I’m feeling helpless, I think back to these powerful words. Thank you Rupi Kaur for relating to not just me, but women and humans everywhere. p.s. Italics are super difficult to embroider.”

Are the cool kids still saying this? 

It took longer than I wanted to finish, but in my defense those roses are tricky af and I changed my color scheme several times. Still not super happy with it to be honest.

Embroidered Tweet, black silk on fabric cut from an antique nightgown, tweet by Shaadi Devereaux, embroidery by Cybele Knowles “This piece is an embroidery of a tweet by Shaadi Devereaux, a Black and AfroIndigenous writer who uses media to build narratives for Trans Women of Color. Every once in a while, you come across a shard of truth that pierces your thick skull and shifts your perspective. For me, Shaadi’s tweet was one of those shards. When it popped up in my timeline, it immediately spoke to my growing recognition that I’d wasted a lot of time – years of my life – trying to make a heterosexual relationship with a man work.

And it made me laugh. Misandrist humor has a curative function. Many women are socialized to value men more than themselves. Misandrist humor, which rhetorically devalues men, can help women correct the dangerous imbalance of overvaluing men’s comfort and feelings at the expense of our own well-being and safety.

This embroidery is also a tribute to the blazingly smart women on Twitter and other social media platforms from whom I’ve learned so much.”

A take on the inspiring words of Tina Fey, and a response to a coworker (and anyone else) who complained to my supervisor I was abrasive. 

Where my abrasive bitches at?

An excellent blog to find mere hours before I intend to sit in a waiting room for 8+ hours stitching on my “Get Off My Lawn” piece.

Let me know when you finish it. I’d love to see it!!

I need to just finish the flowers off and then I’ll be adding it to my Etsy. I’m not happy with the writing so it’ll probably be cheap!
