Also special shout out & fuck you to the 2 men who stood behind me while I was crocheting in the airport & said, "It's a dying art," & talked about their grandmas doing it, as if I, a LIVING BREATHING WOMAN was not crocheting right before them? Just bc YOU do not craft does not mean it's dying?

Edited: FFS. "Fathered children with" is SUCH a whitewashed version of "raped an enslaved Black child* who did not have the right to tell him NO and therefore could not provide consent." *I'd initially said woman because they did, but as @sallysultzman.bsky.social reminded me, she was only 14.

Heads up, Bookworms: There will likely be💀supply chain issues💀 this holiday season. So if there are specific books you have your heart set on for holiday gifting, I strongly suggest you buy/order them ahead of time (✨like now✨) rather than waiting until November/December.

Chronic pain is, like, background noise. Some days it's a tv playing in a room at the other end of the house you can barely hear & some days it's everyone on the block mowing & leaf blowing & taking down a tree all at once while roofing & you can't hear yourself THINK. Guess which one today is?
