Felt like doing another intro style post

I'm #asexual and #aromantic and i care about it so much. I have soft spots for building irl community (although thats on hold), uncovering history and aro politics (trust me, everything is connected to amatonormativity)
I'm interested in #needlefelting and #naturaldyeing
I've been learning about #invasivespecies and how to remove them. I'm in the pnw so the main culprits are Himalayan blackberry, english ivy and morning glory. Clearing those to help restore the environment a d create public space has been my biggest pandemic project.
I also care a lot about #mutalaid and #mutualism. I'm still learning tons but i find myself generally having an #anarchist perspective.
I'm working to learn more about white supremacy, colonialism, decolonization and anti racism

Todays ivy haul. I had already filled the bag from another spot so these will have to be picked up later.
I did the first round of clearing for one section (the second photo which was taken after i cleared the ivy). Ill have to go back and check for anything i missed and ensure the ivy on the trees is dying. But the bulk of the labour is done.
And i started on another patch (the third photo before i started any clearing). This is a really large patch that extends quite far along the trail so it will take a bunch of work to clear. But i got started at least!

A little video of me needle felting a peach!
It's the first video like this i've filmed on a a cardboard stand i threw together. It's a little wobbly and my head pokes into the frame sometimes.

#needlefelting

I made a video of me needle felting a little peach. it's super cute and i'm happy to have finally set up a macgyvered cardboard phone stand to film with.
idk where to upload it though. I'm thinking of setting up a peertube account. any suggestions for instances? or other places to upload video

I made these little felt stuffed hearts. They are so cute but idk what to do with them.
Any suggestions?

I made up a bunch of lip balms!
They're of coconut oil, beeswax and shea butter. I got a bunch of little sample tea tins from my buy nothing group.
I tried to infuse in scents of early grey, mint and lavender but they didn't take as strongly as I'd like.
