Making and hanging up strings of paper cranes

Acquire pretty paper, enjoy the process of folding them- and then the trick is to get a golden thread on a sewing needle and string it through the body, using a loop to maintain the right distance between the cranes. It’s a delicate but worthwhile endeavor

origami

when people hear the word origami they usually think of paper cranes or something. that’s obviously where everybody starts but then you get deeper into it and discover a whole other world of it and there’s SO many different “types” of origami. i used to really be into whatever robert lang was making (physicist turned origami artist) cause he worked with NASA and shit. incredible. i attempted some more complex stuff like a 30 piece model but my issue was that i couldn’t find the patterns for the cool stuff :( but! i can now make a tiny paper crane out of a 1cm x 1cm piece of paper yay! used to be more into this when i was younger but i should totally get back into it… you should check out geometric origami it’s so cool!!!
edit: look!!! so cool!!!

being a nerd about stuff

being traditionally cool is really quite boring and iterative, and it’s actually very cool and sexy to geek out about something you like or share bits of knowledge on a topic you’re passionate about

MAY DAY

HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WORKER’S DAY!!!! i love having a union, i love being a union steward and getting to support my unit. when my union won its contract, i got a pay bump, better benefits, and increased protection as a worker. 🥳 unions help address racial and gender pay gaps, issues workplaces impose on families and those having kids, addressing unsafe conditions, plus things like better health insurance, wages and overtime, weingarten rights to representation, and more!!! if you don’t have a union but are thinking about forming one, check out AFL-CIO’s page (linked) or Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee. there’s always more power in a union!! ✊🥖🌹
