Hey, hi, hello! I should probably start posting on here to avoid being a total creeper. This is a small embroidered binding I did in a class with my friend Erin Fletcher a few years ago. I don't have much new work to share right now, so will probably post a smattering of old work + my cat. <3

Hard to square the pro-natalist movement that wants to see more (white) babies making common cause with these anti-vaccine lunatics who want to see more dead babes. And yet.
It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

The current circulating strain(s) of influenza are causing severe morbidity & deaths in pregnant people and young children.
Vaccines are still available but it takes about 2 weeks for them to take effect. If you’re part of one of these populations, be cautious around holiday gatherings.
