@philrid.bsky.social, this is the scene Facebook said violated community standards. I am now determined that you should see it because watching two older women who love each other is clearly corrupting. Ugh.

I design and carve stamps. Rather than centrally featuring the stamps I incorporate mine into larger pieces. Here's one I'm working on and the stamps I'm using.

I shot a gun for the first time. Technically I shot 3 guns. Turns out I’m a great shot! It changed my thoughts on guns.
Now I want EVEN MORE regulations. Actually I would prefer we repeal the 2nd amendment. Guns are insane.

How do everyday people stand up to authoritarians and win?
If you’re asking, "What can I do?" and ready to act, I’ve found This is An Uprising by Mark & Paul Engler deeply inspiring. It’s filled with real stories of movements that toppled oppression—essential for our united path to #RESIST.
