I'm a fiber artist. That's basically a big cat like human that plays with string. I enjoy weaving, sewing, crochet, knitting, 16th century and older garb, bobbin lace, embroidery, and most other needleworks. I'm a curious lifelong learner. #SCAdian

SHARE WIDELY.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I have osteoporosis, hence the broken wrist. No more skiing, bike riding, and ice skating. How do you deal with having to say goodbye to sports you've loved your whole life? I don't "feel" old, but I'm going to have to make some adjustments to my self image.

A rare and delicate survival from Bronze Age Denmark!

While I'll be working on doing this, I'm also not ready to Kumbaya yet either.
