Maybe I was a little too stupid to understand “Cat’s Cradle.”

I had a hard time getting past the antiquated language used around people with disabilities and mixed race people. Plus, I just didn’t get it 😂

Maybe I’ll give it a closer read another time. Didn’t hit like Slaughterhouse Five for me.

In an attempt to find the good in life, here’s just a couple positives in my own life and some others in my circle:
- Some federal workers I know got their jobs back after being wrongfully terminated.
- I’m almost done with my novels first draft!
- I’m almost done with my first knitting project!

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Kendrick Lamar showed the world that art is a powerful form of resistance.

He proved that he really is the biggest hater, and I love that!

The irony of getting a Black History Month email from Target when they literally just got rid of DEI.
It was always performative.
If you REALLY want to support Black businesses, shop small and shop direct. Look up Black owned businesses in your area and direct to consumer online.

I plan on throwing myself into my writing: the hobby I hope to make my career. I also plan on throwing myself into the hobbies I plan on keeping as hobbies, such as knitting and embroidering.
The amount of crochet cat and hand knitted sweater tutorials I have saved somewhere on my phone is obscene.
Reminder: They're trying to demoralize you, and they're doing a great job of it. Part of resisting is making time for joy despite the attempts to make you feel this is not the time for it. Love your people. Dig the art that speaks to you. Go to the places where life flows into you. You deserve joy.

In my F-Amazon era, and I need people to tell me if getting a Kobo is worth it!

I currently have a Kindle and KU, but the Kobo looks really nice and their KU equivalent seems like a better deal than Amazon.
