If you read this book, you will see the underlying power structure everywhere you go. You will also see why the hard right wing conservatives are working long and hard to undermine every bit of the rights that have been hard won for immigrants, POC and women over our lifetimes. Did I mention I recommend this book. The world could be a better place if more people read it and became aware of and changed this caste system in America.

In 2020, when the pandemic started and the whole country was in distress, my husband turned our backyard flag upside down. "Country in distress" is the meaning. It was long since taken down, especially as good leadership prevailed. Distress is variable and relative. For me distress is right wing conservatives taking rights away from us. For them, distress must be the opposite, liberal rights for all and the rule of law.
Our problems are deep division. Buckle up and hold onto your hats. It's going to be a bumpy ride this year.

Okay, its a terrible picture and its not ironed cause its way too hot to iron. The pattern is straight, fabric is just bundled up under it.

#DeathByCrossStitch by #LongDogSamplers. Stitched on white 16ct aida fabric, using approx 370 metres of black DMC thread, 6 needles used. Final stitched area is - 55cm wide and 69cm high.

This was a labour of love, a challenge, a reward to myself, part of my #MentalHealth journey.

Its done now.

Get this clearly, Florida women have just lost their rights to make their own choices about their reproductive healthcare.
In the year 2024, Female citizens are losing their rights.
All over the country,
Women are losing their rights.
The republicans have lost their minds, saying they don't want "big government" then they go massive and subtract the rights of taxpaying citizens.
Lost their minds.
Women, boycott republicans, if you know what I mean. They want to force their offspring on us. Be aware.
