Every industry has been taken over by a guy that's like, “Oh, that thing that's made life a little less unbearable for multiple generations? I'm shutting it down to increase profits by 2% for a single quarter”
@JenniferBrumfi1 So incredibly kind, I appreciate you sharing this with me. I still love felting but I’ve been messing with other mediums, trying to stay process focused and so, not a ton of “finished” work. (I’ve also had health stuff that makes things slow.) When I share, it’s on instagram.

The DNC is about to rile us up to vote for Biden again, as if he is freedom's last chance. Meanwhile, he has ended the state of emergency, closed all of the testing centers, ceased free rapid tests in the mail. Better than the alternative isn't enough.
