If you live, someday you might be old and ugly, too. Tatum, dyke femme. Blessed for the rest of the year.

Chilkat weaving is the absolute pinnacle of fiber art, and Anna Brown Ehlers is *the* master weaver.

Japan has a system where skilled traditional craftspeople and performers are recognized as “Living National Treasures”. These are people who have mastered their art and ensure that traditional techniques are kept alive and passed on. The tangible objects they create are masterpieces of great value, but their intangible skills and knowledge are priceless. It is a great honor to be a Living National Treasure, and the Japanese government has a specific grant to subsidize these artists so that they can continue to create and enrich the culture of Japan.

Indigenous artists deserve this level of recognition and support. Anna Brown Ehlers and Jennie Thlunaut were both awarded heritage fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts, but that is really insufficient recognition for the work they’ve done to preserve and revive and teach the art of Chilkat weaving. Not only the weaving technique, but also the art of formline design itself.

I have very strong emotions on this topic.

why is it harder to quit nicotine as a 27 yo with shit to live for than it was as a suicidal 19 yo who went cold turkey the second it crossed my mind

I gave it up for Lent and have been holding strong for 9 days even though today is PERFECT smoking weather. Thank you Catholic guilt!

certainly being white and at least a little pretty and definitely straight passing has helped a lot with this but I have had nothing but neutral to great interactions with men I don't know at the gym, and this is true both alone but also with butch friends and partners who clearly mark me as a dyke. and yes this post IS about the high I'm riding from last night after getting the perfect tip about lat activation from a very juiced-looking man and then felt my lat pulldowns in my actual lats for the first time ever

#dudes in male typical hobby spaces are usually perfectly nice ime tbh#it's the dudes who have no interests or passions who are most likely to be extremely toxic on a passing/casual basis
