State tells employees to report on one another for ‘anti-Christian bias’

“It’s very ‘Handmaid’s Tale’-esque,” one official said.

POLITICO

The Trump administration has ordered State Department employees to report on any instances of coworkers displaying “anti-Christian bias” as part of its effort to implement a sweeping new executive order on supporting employees of Christian faith working in the federal government.

The department, according to a copy of an internal cable obtained by POLITICO, will work with an administration-wide task force to collect information “involving anti-religious bias during the last presidential administration” and will collect examples of anti-Christian bias through anonymous employee report forms.

I encourage anyone reading this to flood this moronic system with fake reports thus making it utterly worthless and useless to the brainless mentally inferior fucking cattle operating it

Report people for believing in consubstatiation rather than transubstantiation. That should keep them busy for awhile.

why do i have to find an actual job instead of being the apprentice of the old witch who lives in the woods?

Why do i have to have a job. Why does no one come to my cottage offering goods and services in exchange for my years of wisdom?

(These days, the old witch is in the middle of an SPO migration. It pays better than witchcraft.)

the problem is that it will never feel better, knowing what we know now. being out among my countrymen will for the rest of my life be like “look to your left. look to your right. both of those people think vaccines come from space”

I was thinking through what else I’m looking forward to this holiday season and I realized I haven’t mentioned it on here, just on discord, but— MY MOMS BEEN MAKING ME A REALLY COOL ART THING??

I think I’ve talked about it before, but my mom has been a quilter for most of my life and in the last few years started doing these really cool fabric collages, and it was my turn to request one so I asked for a phoenix cause I’m obsessed with this one art piece I did in art therapy ages ago

Anyway, my mom has been working on it and THIS was the last update I got???

I’m so excited for it?? Can’t wait to see where it’s at by the time I get there this weekend

dude holy fucking shit???? this is. beyond insane. i also quilt, though i’ve never tried paper piecing - though this doesnt even look like that. this has surpassed any and every sort of traditional quilt work. i can’t even imagine how this is put together. im just staring at it in absolute wonder. youve short circuited my brain with how beautiful that is, and ‘beautiful’ isnt a strong enough word for what this is

So, as far as I can tell, this is a technique involving cutting tiny pieces of fabric with the colors/patterns you want and pinning and using fabric glue, and then sometimes sewing over top depending on the size of the pieces (this is what I’ve gathered from listening to my mom talk about it, but I know she learned the technique from a specific artist I can’t remember the name of who sells books and classes). My mom also frequently uses tulle over areas with lots of small piecing, usually as a way to adjust color but also I think cause it’s easier to sew the tulle piece than try and quilt aaaaalll of the little bits and pieces.

Here’s some pics from the workroom when I visited in November, and some pics from in-progress pieces before they were finished, if that gives you a better idea of how it works ^^

And here’s some finished pieces!

Update! I asked my mom for the name of the artist who she learned the technique from! If you’re curious about this style, you can find more info on her website! https://susancarlson.com/

Apparently she’s very generous with free tutorials as well as having books and workshops

Update! Re:technique, it’s mostly glued at first, with extra glue as well as some free motion quilting on top over areas that don’t have tulle over them, and tulle stitched over some areas.

Also updates on the phoenix!

You can kinda see the metallic details on some of the fabrics chosen! I love them. Also a glimpse at some of the bits cut out to use in the tail!

I’ll sneak into the quilting room for more closeups of this and other pieces before I leave ^^

Updates! (First, oops I forgot to get more pics of the work room when I was home; family visits are always busier than expected)

I was given two options for background as my mom was finishing up the bird part—

I ended up picking the greener one cause I love all the gold stuff, and my mom added even more gold details for that mythical feel

So this is the current most recent form!

I’m going out of my fucking mind.
