Iā€™m a quilter and knitting accessories maker (and recovering grad student) who picks a lot of fabrics that have cats on them because who doesnā€™t love cats? #KSQshopknitspinquilt.etsy.com @knitspinquilt on Instagram

My friend Rabbi Rachel Weissā€™ Rosh Hashana sermon is both about some of the insidious ways that antisemitismā€” discounting of Jewish experienceā€” manifests in progressive communities, & is a great case study on the importance of relationships in creating and sustaining the real work of solidarity.

Honestly a lot of historians could stand to be reminded of this lesson as well, for both primary and secondary sources. There are a lot things that continue to get recycled past their use-by date or simply added again to recipes for which there are much better ingredients out there. šŸ§

Itā€™s one of my favorite things, really. I have to cull my cart so strictly when Iā€™m doing a fabric order or else I wouldnā€™t have room for all of it!

Some of my work with cats in it! One of my Ink Imps enjoying an afternoon in the garden with cats, and a Witch Cottage done for the Codex Obscurus art book from Caurette Books More of my art here: www.gwensingley.com

A cheerful chap sits reading and drinking tea under an arbor in his garden. His luxurious mustache twines up the arbor, blossoming into roses. A small black cat sits on his lap, enthralled by the open book. A big fluffy cat naps nearby.
Itā€™s a witch cottage! That is also a witch! An old ramshackle cottage with thatched roof and crooked chimneys and numerous odd windows and doors and nooks and crannies; but at the same time, it forms the dress and hat of a gnarled old witch, who smirks at us with a knowing look. A black cat roams down the cottage path.
