I agree: if they have a sincere change of heart and put words and actions behind it, I could support including them. If it’s only words, nope.

“The problem is that Americans thought it was ok to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of The United States and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things.

Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of The United States and if we don’t wake up we may not have a United States.”

Maybe your state and town aren’t as bad as here right now. But they will be. Fear and distress have paralyzing effects, but you have to do something. You do have the capability. You have power.

This is my neighbor’s bougainvilla, which is just like the one my mom had in her garden. I love this color: “Rosa Mexicano” we call it! Mi casa de nieve y flor. 💞💝

A very creative and sobering way to bring attention to the school shooting epidemic in the US. Zoom in to see the names of the schools. #Quiltsky #ItsTheGunsStupid #QuiltArt

Gary Williamson @docs41.bsky.social · 1d

A powerful statement about school shootings in the quilt “Ripple Effect” by Hollis Chatelain. She has sewn the names of many of the 493 schools who have experienced incidents between 1998 and March 2023 on the top. Judged Show, Alternative Techniques category, First Place.

Hey, #Quiltsky, does anyone know the name of this pattern? I thought it looks like papel picado (which literally means “perforated paper” in Spanish) and I thought I could adapt it with a sugar skull or two.
