Kid crocheted a duck for a friend. I am her crochet instagram photographer. Had about 20 minutes of daylight when she told me if I wanted to get pictures I had to do it yesterday, so I made the most of it (she printed the mini duck army too)

A crochet duck sits on a stone wall at sunset

Mini 3D printed ducks around the larger crochet duck sit on a stone wall, the crochet duck looks a bit like Godzilla

I'm a volunteer for @respectmovoters.org because ballot candy and manipulative ballot language fill me with incendiary rage! We're now in the 'we need money if we're going to get stuff done' phase of the campaign so I'm also raising money: tinyurl.com/3tzpp8fe

Respect MO Voters is saying "No More!" No more ballot candy (misleading ballot language meant to trick voters)! No more undo button (legislators trying to overturn passed citizen initiatives)! No more red tape (unnecessary regulations meant to make it harder to use the citizen initiative process)!

Also look at the cute sticker someone gave me!

A sticker features a pink flower in a pot holding a sign that says “human beings are not illegal” text surrounds the picture and says “immigrants are welcome here. Trans people are welcome here. All are welcome here.” It is very cute!

Went to #handsoff in Brentwood MO (STL suburb) - didn’t get great crowd pictures but there were at least a few hundred lining both sides of a very busy street and it was cold and raining but the cars were honking and we were cheering! It was like a reverse parade!

They have a counter on their website! I am guessing that it tracks enrollment in real time because it’s all done online but can’t be sure - I think this number was different last night

Starting a (probably very disjointed) thread about stuff I'm reading to figure out "what now?" #1. 10 ways to be prepared and grounded now that Trump has won, by Daniel Hunter, Waging Nonviolence (wagingnonviolence.org/2024/11/10-t...) This one has really stuck with me because of this infographic.

an infographic with 4 quadrants:
1. Protect People - harm reduction, protect targeted people
2. Disrupt and Disobey - strategize acts to support disobedience and protest policy
3. Defend Civic Institutions - safeguard democratic institutions (elections, EPA, etc.)
4. Build Alternatives - parallel institutions, alternative party platforms, new culture-building
