I downloaded Facebook to look for a local realtor and got sucked in to reading local people arguing politics. It is the most depressing part of all of this, seeing average Americans so blinded and so angry. Cheering on local job loss because they cannot comprehend.

A beautiful trip for dance competition to Cincinnati and back. Cozy dogs, Cincinnati Museum center, Cincinnati zoo, and Ash Cave in Hocking Hills, OH

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

coffee ain’t gonna cut it today. i need to be abducted by aliens.

somebody somewhere ;-)

Finally finished with these pansies. This shirt goes to my super sweet partner, a botanist turned high school physics and chemistry teacher. He plans to wear it on special occasions. Next: the pansy study continues on my kiddo’s jacket. #bloomscrolling #embroidery #gardeningfeed

Octavia Butler was a black female science fiction writer who won several awards for her works, including Hugo, Locus, and Nebula awards. In 1995, Butler became the first science-fiction writer to receive a MacArthur Fellowship.

I’m nearly finished with my next pansy embroidery! All the leaves are finished and I’ve chosen the petal colors. Time to make it happen. 🌱 #bloomscrolling #gardening #embroidery #pansy

🌱 Oh, HELL YEAH. I’ve spent this week learning more about the seeds for this year’s garden. Couldn’t have been happier to see the first flowers pushing through! ❤️ Keep holding on, It won’t be long now. #bloomscrolling

Of all the years I didn’t watch the Super Bowl, I’ll be not watching it the hardest this year.

Have you called your representatives today? It is very easy with apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal... And it’s better than doing nothing.

south korean politicians were literally scaling fences to protect their government and our senators are sending out pre-scheduled tweets about the super bowl while an unelected foreign billionaire seizes control of the treasury.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

This past year, I lost both of my parents. I’m happy to say they stopped supporting drumpf before they died. Embroidery was my only solace while waiting for Mom’s funeral, this was for her. Dad’s will come another time. Until spring gardens return, I’ll embroider my way through the dark winter.
