There's now only 3 #guerrillakindness #kakapo kits left! These easy kits were made for my #journeykakapo adventure to #christchurch a few years ago, they include everything you need to handsew a small felt kakapo to keep or give away. Once these 3 are sold, that's it, they're gone, unlike the endangered kakapo themselves, who are gaining in numbers (go you good birds, go!) Store link in bio, grab yourself some #craftivist actiom while they're still around! #craftivism #endangeredbird #craftkit #christchurcheq #eqchristchurch #gapfiller @gapfiller

Eli Bosnick had the best response to this ridiculousness.

“If I gave you a bowl of skittles and three of them were poison would you still eat them?”

“Are the other skittles human lives?”

“What?”

“Like. Is there a good chance. A really good chance. I would be saving someone from a war zone and probably their life if I ate a skittle?”

“Well sure. But the point-”

“I would eat the skittles.”

“Ok-well the point is-”

“I would GORGE myself on skittles. I would eat every single fucking skittle I could find. I would STUFF myself with skittles. And when I found the poison skittle and died I would make sure to leave behind a legacy of children and of friends who also ate skittle after skittle until there were no skittles to be eaten. And each person who found the poison skittle we would weep for. We would weep for their loss, for their sacrifice, and for the fact that they did not let themselves succumb to fear but made the world a better place by eating skittles.

Because your REAL question…the one you hid behind a shitty little inaccurate, insensitive, dehumanizing racist little candy metaphor is, IS MY LIFE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF MEN, WOMEN, AND TERRIFIED CHILDREN…

… and what kind of monster would think the answer to that question… is yes?”

I might have gotten to work early today, but I bought a secret #craftivism project to work on, just in case! #sequins #sequin #craftivist #sayrscurrentlysecretproject #feminism #feminist #comingsoon

When marketing and consumerism is built on making you feel bad about yourself, which you're told can only be fixed by buying their products, liking yourself is a radical action #fyourbeautystandards #radicalselflove #streetart #streetartmelbourne #melbournestreetart #iloveme #resist

I think this might be one of my favourite interventionist embroidery pieces ever. #Repost @garnapa・・・Selfie from two years ago. Still applicable. Suppression techniques, no thanks. #internationalwomensday #varhardukoptdenhar #embroidery #subversivecrossstitch
