Happy Wold Embroidery Day!
Sharing one of my favourite pieces: my Jupiter red spot embroidery, inspired by this NASA Hubble Space telescope series of images, showing the interaction of the huge storms, red spots merging back in 2008: https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/hubble/science/hst_img_20080717.html

People in the Critical Role fandom really be defending the idea that they're allowed to dictate whether adults are allowed to have a consensual relationship with one another or not based on whether they, personally, believe the relationship would be disgusting to them, personally.
No, I don't care if Laudna is a rotting corpse: she passed the Harkness Test. It is not immoral for you to have a relationship with her, and it is immoral to say she can never have a relationship with a human because of her corpse-like nature.
Leave your personal hang ups at the door. Consenting adults are allowed to have relationships with each other regardless of your wishes.
For anyone confused, here is the Harkness test:
Mattel’s Halloween Hip Barbie 2006 came with a lovely frum denim skirt, so she looked like most of my friends. Accordingly, I figured she ought to be wearing tefillin, just like my friends. As well as the tallit (with tekhelet, of course) and tefillin, she has a siddur and a volume of Talmud.
Tefillin Barbie generated an extraordinary amount of feedback. She featured on Jewschool and Jewlicious, on BoingBoing, in the Jewish Journal of Greater Los Angeles, on Ritualwell, Lilith magazine(Winter ’06-’07 issue), New Voices, the London Jewish Chronicle, The Jewish Advocate, the Philadelphia Jewish Voice, the New Jersey Jewish News, the Forward, the Jewish Week…
Responses ranged from “…seriously disturbing – like watching a car accident…disgusting” to “Finally Barbie has done something I can be proud of!” and “A witty comment on contemporary American Jewish life.”
Subsequently, I must have sold a hundred or so Tefillin Barbies. The supply of that particular Barbie model dwindled. I put tefillin on other Barbie models.
