A few days ago a well known embroidery artist wrote an anti-trans screed, and our community stepped up to call her on her shit, and protect trans and non-binary people. Thanks to @ohmygollyembroidery and @fuckyeah.embroidery I and a bunch of other trans and nb stitchers got some new followers. The boost to my spirit inspired me to start working on something I had in mind for a while, a portrait of Marsha P. Johnson with her iconic flowers and her resilient and brave saying "pay it no mind." Made the pattern today, but out of big hoops so it'll have to wait until Monday to get started. #embroideryinstaguild #trans #nonbinary #payitnomind
