happy pride! no matter your gender or sexual orientation, I hope you can find happiness in your life, even if it seems impossible right now

i really wanted to paint this since about march, but haven't really found the time to do so. at last, i finished it before the end of pride month.

the two girls are dressed in traditional Slovak folk dress, or kroj (traditional folk formalwear) from Piešťany region. Piešťany and the nearby village of Krakovany have one of the most gorgeous forms of kroj in the entire country and for a long time, dolls dressed in this style of dress were gifted to foreign delegations to represent my country. the same country that won't represent people like me

it is a form of reclamation, in a way, to depict sapphic love in this dress. we're here, and have always been here, even if the rest of the people will deny us our existence. this is for all my fellow queers living through being a hot point of debate during elections. you are seen and you are loved. you are part of this country, and you are part of our culture, and the culture belongs to you just as much as to everyone else

i love you, and stay safe

Progress Pride Flag Quilt Block Pattern & Tutorial

Don't you just love the flag of our people? Do you have an inner grandma that years to make stuff? Do you want to combine these two things and make a queer quilt?

Well, I've got you.

Behold the pattern! And my lack of graphic skills, so I drew it on paper!

Basically it's a bunch of rectangles, one half square triangle and a fuzzy cut circle. I don't know shit about quilting and I was able to come up with it. Why centimeter, you ask? Because I'm German and that's what I'm familiar with. Why weird measurements and not jelly rolls and layer cakes and stuff? Because I'm German and quilting is not really a thing here.

Onto the tutorial!

You'll need:

A scrap of fabric of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, black, brown, light blue, pink, white each

additional fabric for the border

Cutting mat, quilting ruler, roll cutter

sewing machine

thread

pins

double sided interfacing

iron and ironing board

fabric sheers

compasses

Step 1: Cut everything. Duh. We'll take care of the circle later, don't worry about that now. The half square triangle is exactly what it sounds like. A square and then you cut it diagonally. That's why I didn't give the length of the hypotenuse.

(Note: I'm making two blocks at the same time, that's why there's so much fabric. Also this is a middle of the night project, hence the lighting.)

I'm using all kinds of different fabrics, different weights and drapes, some stretchy, some transparent, so I needed to interface some of them.

Step 2: Sew the rainbow together. 0,5cm seam allowance on everything, that's exactly the edge of the foot on your machine. Double and triple check that everything is facing the right direction before sewing. The seam of yellow and green does not get sewn fully, only 21,5 cm! That's important later! Also backtack there. Don't forget to iron.

Step 3: Sew the strips to the half square triangle. For this you have to switch between the sewing machine and the ironing board constantly. Attach the shorter strip diretly to one side of the HST, iron it open. The second strip of the same colour gets attatched to the other side of the HST and the first strip. Look at the pictures closely if you're unsure how that works. Also the strips are longer than the triangle. We'll square that up later.

All strips attatched will look like this. See how the two strips meet at the tip!

Step 4: Cut the rainbow part to size. The length between yellow and green is 22cm long. The shorter seam from before plus some seam allowance. The outsides of red and purple are 44,5cm long. These two points are the beginning and end of your cutting line. You will cut a little triangle from every single colour. Do this slowly and carefully. Maybe your fabrics have stretched a bit (mine did). Don't worry, it will be ok.

Step 5: The Y seam, part one. Y seams are tricky, but there's only one for this block. So put your strips part on your rainbow part and line them up so that the tip of the strip part overhangs the seam between yellow and green by about half a centimeter. Remember that it's not about the edges of the fabric, but where the seam will be. But don't sew all the way! Leave 0,5cm at the tip!

You can also mark on your strip piece two lines 0,5cm from the edges of the black. They should form a little square at the tip. There they meet is where the actual tip on the finished block will be. So place this spot directly on the seem between yellow and green and only sew right up to it. Not beyond.

Step 6: The Y seam, part two. Now, fold both the rainbow part and the strips part in half and if you've done the last step correctly, the remaining two edges will allign. Pin and sew.

I can't explain it better than I've done here, I'm sure there are tutorias out there. Good luck!

Step 7: Square up. Iron your block to that everything is nice and straight and flat. Then use the fabric edges of the red and purple to cut the remaining ends of the strips. Use the HST to cut the white. Be careful, the long side of the triangle is on the bias and likely stretched a bit.

I already added borders here. I'm making a pillow case.

Step 8: Fuzzy cut and raw edge applique. Double sided iron on interfacing is essentially double sided tape. It has two types of glue, one gets activated by 2 seconds of heat, the other by 5 or so (depends on the product). The second side is also covered with a paper that needs to be removed before the second gluing. Read the instructions of the product you are using!

Use your compasses to draw a circle on the protective paper side of the interfacing. It's actually two circles from the same middle point, see pattern. Cut it out roughly. Then place it with the rougher side on the backside of your purple fabric and iron for 2 seconds on middle heat. If you've just ironed your fabric before and the ironing board is still hot, wait for it to cool down. Also let the fabric cool down after applying. Then cut out your circle. The interfacing will have stiffened the fabric, so that shouldn't be a problem. Then remove the protective paper, place the circle on the yellow triangle where you want it and iron for 5 seconds. Let cool.

And you're done! The applique at this point is only secured with the interfacing, but it should hold fairly well. The quilting will secure it further.

And that's it. BTW, did you know that this design was made by Valentino Vecchietti for Intersex Equality Rights UK in 2021? Now you do. Happy quilting!

crochet hat very basic pattern that you can color in to figure out where to put stripes. Public domain images. They'll be uploaded to the beloved Internet Archive once they're fully functional again. You are explicitly encouraged to download and share these.

Every row ends with slip stitching to close and then chaining two to start the next one but I Forgot to put that in.

Pro tip: Have more rows of the same color towards the top than at the bottom if it's only going to show up once, otherwise it will get drowned out.

[ID: A black and white diagram of a beanie separated into eighteen stripes, with arrows on each section giving the instructions to crochet it. Stripe 1, at the top center of the hat: "Ch3, double crochet 8 times into first chain. Slip stitch to close (S S T C)." An arrow points from this to a simple diagram of three circles representing chain stitches, with a hook at the top with a loop of yarn around it, and another arrow pointing from the hook down to the first chain. The chains are colored in with teal circles. Next to the instructions is a teal circle with eight sections in it. Stripe 2: "DC 2 times in each stitch. S S TC." In teal below this are two V shapes to indicate two stitches into the same spot. Stripe 3: Dc 1 time, then two times, repeating". In teal is a straight line and a V. Stripe 4: DC 1, 1, 2, repeating. The teal shows two straight lines, then a V. Stripe 5: DC 1, 1, 1, 2, repeating. The teal has three lines and then a V. Stripe 6: DC 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, repeating. The teal shows four lines and then a V. Stripe 8 through 18: DC one time, repeating, until hat is desired length. The teal now only shows straight lines, and an arrow points all the way to the bottom of the hat. End ID.]

some quickly thrown together pride flag templates from whatever colors I happened to have on my phone:

[ID: 12 versions of the same image as above, the same except that text has been added on the side reading, "18 row example. 5mm hook, size 4 yarn.", and each hat is now colored in stripes of a differen pride flag, in vaguely alphabetical order. The first is the asexual flag, with the first 6 stripes in black, the next 4 in grey, the next 4 in white, then the last 4 in purple. Then the aromantic flag, with the first 5 stripes in dark green, then the next 4 in light green, then the next 3 in white, the next 3 in grey, and the final 3 in black. Next is the aroace flag, with the first 5 stripes in orange, the next 4 in yellow, the next 3 in white, 3 light blue, and 3 navy blue. Then the bi flag, with the first 9 stripes in dark blue, then 5 in purple, then the last 4 in reddishpink. Next is the intersex flag, with the first 7 stripes in gold, then 3 dark purple, then the remaining stripes in gold. Next is the lesbian flag with the first 4 stripes in reddishpink, then 4 light pink, 4 pale yellow, 3 light purple, and 3 very dark blue. Next is the nonbinary flag, with 5 stripes of yellow, 4 stripes of white, 5 stripes of purple, and 4 stripes of black. Next is the pan flag, with 6 stripes of bubblegum pink, 6 stripes of gold, and 5 stripes of light blue. Next is the quoiromantic flag, with 6 stripes of black, 4 stripes of lime green, 4 stripes of light blue, and 4 stripes of light grey. Next is the pride flag, with 3 stripes each of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. Next is the progress trans flag, with 5 stripes of purple, 3 stripes of black, 2 stripes of blue, 2 stripes of pink, 2 stripes of white, 2 stripes of yellow, and 2 stripes of brown. The last is the pastel xenogender flag, with 4 stripes of pinkishred, 2 stripes of pastel pink, 3 stripes of pastel orange, 2 stripes of pale yellow, 2 stripes of light blue, 2 stripes of light purple, and 3 stripes of dark purple. End ID.]

pride flags with fewer shades of the same color are easier to make. A lesson for flag makers everywhere. Good luck trying to find all the shades necessary to make the pastel xenogender flag. I have yet to accomplish it. This is also why gradient flags are just. a bad idea if you want people to actually be able to make it outside of computers.

I used a 5mm crochet hook with aproximately size 4 yarn since that's what I got for free.

community that has only seen themselves represented in a small handful of romance stories that aren’t explicitly about their real-world oppression, watching a new show or movie where they are represented in a romantic story that isn’t explicitly about their real-world oppression: getting a lot of “that other show with a queer romance that isn’t explicitly about real-world homophobia” vibes from this

oh no they made the unicorns transgender

it rubs me the wrong way when someone gets revealed to be an abuser and ppl start to go 'yea i always knew, i could tell by his content' because no you couldn't. you just didn't like the guy. that's not the same thing. the idea that 'you can tell' has caused countless wrongful convictions and let countless abusers walk free because we love to think that we can accurately identify threats but we can't.

an alternate (significantly sillier) way to get Izzy onto the revenge in S1E2:

[camera shot of The Revenge & Queen Anne conveniently anchored or beached on opposite sides of the island]

Izzy: alright, crew, you have TWO HOURS to mess around while we trade with the islanders. I expect you all to be on your best behaviour, and back on time, or we LEAVE YOU BEHIND, YOU UNDERSTAND?

[the crew chorus in agreement like a bunch of school kids]

Izzy: Fang, I expect you to count them back. It'll be bad for moral if we actually leave anyone behind

[play the episode, buying the hostages, dealing with Stede, etc]

Fang: OK, that's cargo all loaded and the last of the crew back aboard, we are good to sail!

[cue a very slow, drawn out scene of them raising the anchor]

Fang: you know, I can't help but feel we've forgotten something

Ivan: You know you worry about these things, I'm sure it's fine. Can't be anything important anyway, Izzy would have yelled at you about it by now.

Fang: ...

Ivan: ...

Both: IZZY

Izzy, who had gone back with the extra gold for the unexpected hostages, now watching his ship sail away: YOU TWATS!!!! USELESS FUCKING FUCKERS!!!!!! YOU FORGOT ME!!

Mini Pirate Flag Pattern

A few people asked about the pattern for the mini skull and crossbones flags I made to help me deal with 'Our Flag Means Death's cancelation. (Still upset but knitting pirate themed things is nice, lol)

So here's the quick pencil sketch and notes I made while working on it. I worked the outside of the skull in seed stitch so it wouldn't curl as much, but that's just me. If the notes don't make sense just look at the graph, lol, and make it your own. If you use it just tag me so I can see it, and we can consider ourselves crewmates since "any pirate worth a damn has a flag."
