Watched Michelle Obama's documentary Becoming. (Mostly to boost ratings on the weeknd of the release of "Melania" 🤢)
While watching, I felt very sad for missing the Obama era. Yes I was very much alive, age 17-25 in fact, but I grew up in a very insular sheltered community who shunned politics.

Crocheting for my mental health. Designing patterns for yours. #mentalhealthmatters #hobbiesarehealing #beginnercrochetpatterns #chasingrainbows

There's nothing like making something with your hands to soothe your soul 🌈

Found this puzzle at our local library's puzzle swap #saveournationalparks #supportlibraries

Well well well maybe Fetterman has a bit of a spine? #saveact

Here's something encouraging. I'm sitting at my library (I live in a red area) crocheting and eavesdropping on a conversation between 2 women. They mentioned using the 5 calls app, talked about the spending freeze on the 28th and they talked about freezing their credit because of Doge data breaches.

In a time of hate
Love is an act of resistance.
In a time of fear
Faith is an act of resistance.

In a time of misinformation
Education is an act of resistance.

In a time of poor leadership
Community is an act of resistance.

In a time like this
joy is an act of resistance.
Resist. 🌈
