Okay, yesterday was nice being stuck inside keeping warm with cats and a fire, baking bread and knitting. But it also feels like I need to be DOING something. Purl’s is closed again today because nobody should be out there on the roads except essential workers. But we all can do a little bit of essential work today.
You can knit a red hat. It’s not much but in a crowd you can see who’s had enough. But we can all do more. It’s frustrating when you know your “elected representatives” have cheated and lied to get where they are and aren’t likely to do better, but pressure is pressure, and enough pressure can force bad people to shift a little. Call your senators, rep, state legislators, everyone. It’s insane that the fictional Pizzagate tarnished Hillary Clinton when the very real Epstein omniscandal touches such a large percentage of people with hard and soft power. It sickens me what these people get away with, including murder on the street.
It’s too cold and slippery to go out, and we all need more time for self-care and connecting with others. But even if we can’t be on the streets we can be calling and shouting (or talking rationally, if you can manage) at our so-called “leaders.”

We’ll have Nerd Night on Zoom again at 6 tonight if you need a friendly face. Thanks to Ruth for helping me dye up some more red yarn on Friday. I promise we’ll be back again in person on Wednesday.
