Yeah, yeah, all the textile and fibre arts lead to each other, we all became trapped here long ago.

The danger zone is when they lead out of textile and fibre arts, into agriculture and woodworking and smithing and beyond.

29th June 2026. This year's Strawberry Moon was extremely low in the sky, which made it look very large and bright. (A perfect photographic opportunity!)

more than anything i want a world where a trans girl realizing she is a trans girl faces zero fear from that realization and subsequent coming out. Where she can say "Oh sweet, I can just be a girl? Sign me up!", no worrying if shes girl enough, no worrying if society will accept her, no worrying if she'll be an attractive girl as she transitions, no worrying at all in any way shape or form.

"Why were such glaring research flaws ignored for so long by experts? For example, Washington Post columnist Krauthammer, who raised the journalistic hue and cry, is a graduate of Harvard Medical School, and I wonder that he did not consider these dramatic scientific shortcomings before suggesting that the children in question should not have been born.

In 1989, the British medical journal The Lancet showed how papers reporting that cocaine harmed babies' behavior were more likely to be accepted for publication than those showing no harm, even when the latter described better-designed studies. In 1992, a Journal of the American Medical Association editorial condemned the "rush to judgment" about cocaine's long-term effects on children, calling the evidence "far too slim".

But the harm has been done. The imaginary crack baby epidemic remains real in the minds of most Americans, providing yet another exemplar of African-American "bad mothering." In 1989, the Los Angeles Times wrote of how "Parents Who Can't Say 'No' Are Creating a Generation of Misery"; The Washington Post told us "For Pregnant Addict, Crack Comes First"; and a New York Times headline showcased an awkward amalgam of sympathy and cost consciousness: "Crack's Tiniest, Costliest Victims."

The myth of the crack baby also helped to fuel criminal prosecutions against pregnant drug abusers, three-fourths of which have been filed against women of color."
