My Neighbor Totoro is just a perfect movie from beginning to end. Good thing I feel this way as I’ve seen it 5 times now in the past week , per request of the child

Now mind you, I have only watched videos and obsessively looked at images of latch hook. I am not allowing myself to start a new craft until I can create a dedicated space for it

Reasons why I can’t stop thinking about latch hooking :(1) fiber art can be sustainable or eco friendly (unlike most ‘fine’ art) without breaking the bank (2) no loose ends to tie/sew up like cross stitch & crochet (3) it���s not so tiny saving my eyes and hands

Throughout the pandemic, this nation lost 40% of its Blk women owned businesses. (How about a Black Present Month?)

Depriving someone of their name is often a tool of oppression. I see parallels in the trans experience. You tell people your name and/or your pronouns, and they see it as an opportunity for debate.

#MoLeg GOP want to pass a bill prosecutors & law enforcement say would “make murder legal”

It’s not the first time, Republicans have already passed bills that allow police to be sued for working with federal law enforcement on gun crimes

The GOP are guilty of gross incompetence

Friendly reminder:

If Black children are old enough to experience racism, other children are old enough to learn about racism and how to be an antiracist.

To wake up to news of a vaccine for kids under 5 is just amazing. Even if we have to wait a few more months …

In the last week I’ve seen a flurry of articles that finally address the reality I’ve been living for the past two years with a young child during a pandemic
