We’re in Emergency with ChiChi. She had a sore foot/leg on return from the vet and now there are some disquieting symptoms. Life stuff doesn’t stop because of world stuff. Tell your peeps you love them.❤️

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

![official photo of the wire sculpture on grey background
“Before 25 December 1929
Calder creates his first formal mechanized sculpture, Goldfish Bowl, and presents it to his mother as a Christmas gift. For his father, he makes a brass wire fish. In a letter to Peggy, Nanette writes, He made me a fish tank of brass wire, with two fish that wiggle as you turn a crank made also of wire. Waves are indicated along the top. For your Dad a large fish that is now hanging from the electric light. Peggy, it is remarkable. One wire beginning at his tail, running along the backbone to the head where the eyes and mouth are faultlessly placed. Then the wire loops around the back bone as it travels back to form the other half of the tail. This is hard to describe, but it is really wonderful as is the fish bowl in which the fishes bend as tho [sic] swimming.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:l5pcfqdnvtivhxufycjnvzui/bafkreifjvdiidnxwsyme6dm5qkhhku6mhcynzoej2igc6auzp2wbj2os44@jpeg)

I love seeing these birds!
We have a few red-breasted nuthatches this winter and the yard is filled with their nasally beeps.
But there is occasionally a slightly louder nasally beep and it belongs to this guy!
This male White-breasted nuthatch was in today checking out the spruce trees for snacks!

Hey, thank you for showing me the best of human kindness and empathy during the past few days. You are what keeps me going and you help me to find new ways to fight.
Be well, my dollies, and know that you are loved. Also, snark and silliness are my way of showing love. Bring it!

You all need to read this today. I’m so inspired by women doing the jobs that need to be done, stepping up, and just accepting tasks and responsibilities. ❤️
During the Great Depression, the WPA hired 274 librarians, mostly local women, to carry books from local libraries to rural Appalachian residents, riding 100-120 miles a week, across rugged terrain.
They also prepared special collection scrapbooks with recipes, canning techniques, how-to guides.

These Women Rode Miles on Horseback Just to Deliver Library Books

There’s a giant amount of bad stuff right now. So here’s a Canadian man @glengrambo.bsky.social outside in his bathrobe and parka with a windchill of -37C. He’s been out there photographing for a couple of hours.

Today was just so horrible for the people of Minnesota. I can’t say anything that others are not saying better. Please take time to find sources on the ground so you know what is happening, find legitimate places to give money or assistance, and if you are a praying kind of person, pray.

I think I finally blew through the wall of despair on the state of the world and am into:
1) help who you can;
2) make the exploiters pay;
3) cherish those who lift you up;
4) practice self- care so you can carry on the fight.
Do not despair! ❤️
