Found myself wondering what I would do with all this wool I'm spinning, and for some reason it only occurred to me today to search for silk roving. I can spin to laceweight, so the idea of spinning my own needlework thread and floss appeals. Yep, I found all the silk roving. Result!

Sometimes I think about how a large cohort of a Certain Type of Karen would vote for anybody who just shouted "I'll give you some peace so you don't have to think about Bad Things Anymore" enough w/o actually specifying stopping the Bad Things - and they're fine with that, they want peace & quiet.

I think it's time for Minnesota wild rice soup - but the wild rice I can get here in the UK is, shall we say, somewhat stale. Will take a lot of washing, soaking and rinsing before I can use it, but I am determined.

a lot of white queers don't understand what whiteness is, and that makes much of their interactions with queer folk of color suck, so I'll explain a little. The two facets of whiteness that are most important in this context are that it is a social and legal exemption from racial oppression.

Cripple
And if you are disabled, and even if you're not right now, there will come a time in your life where you become a Cripple. A being built of rage and bitterness and love and compassion. Vexed and spiteful, surging and furious, as an until now calm ocean amidst a fierce hurricane.
A life of languishing in the margins.
Gabapentin and Naltrexone and Baclofen and Ambien and Lamotrigine and Tramadol.
Barely scraping by on mutual aid, perpetually looking for a curb cut, forever unable to access the top floor of that one shop, because they only have stairs.The Cripple. The one whose joints creak like a door hinge in a shed that has stood for generations. The one they call wheelchair bound, ignoring the fact that you are not imprisoned, but rather freed. Those whose collection of canes with bespoke prints could feed the gaping maw of an art gallery for a month. You who are perpetually fatigued, and yet still find the energy to love beyond all reason.
A Cripple is furious, and of otherworldly beauty when measured by the soul. Their work ethic exceeds the rest of the world by orders of magnitude, and all that energy and tenacity is spent nearly exclusively on remaining alive.This will be you one day. Your body will ache, your joints and spine and brain will fuck themselves up horribly, and your medication list will rival a fantasy novel in length. And at that time, you will be happy that you fought for us.

We will never reckon with the rise of the extreme right, in the UK, US or anywhere else, if we don't accept that a lot of them - most of them - are motivated by their own hatred (and the potential to monetise same) and not by the shadowy hand of Russia that conveniently absolves us of introspection.
