I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

A Minneapolis yarn store is selling a protest-hat pattern worn in Germany to protest the Nazis (who learned all their tricks from American slavers). Proceeds go to support the rebellion. www.ravelry.com/deliveries/8...?

It’s a “keep an eye out for chuds in rental cars” day here in Chicago. Grab your whistle, work near your window, take a walk at lunch

I’d knit an entire skein of yarn in a fairly complicated multi-cable pattern and I just ripped it all out. My gauge was off. I’d made too many mistakes. And I think I’ll be half a skein short.

34 years ago, I sat at a table in a campus building at OSU and helped appliqué fabric letters onto a quilt square. The letters spelled out the name of someone who died from AIDS the year before. I had thought we made it through the period of fear and hatred. I was wrong.

Driving back to Chicago from Ohio. Roads were clear and quick until we got north of Indianapolis. Glad we left earlier than normal.

For [redacted] reasons I’m trying to get better at recognizing the types of cars I see. For a gal with 0 interest in cars, this is a challenge.

Hoan Hyunh came up to Andrew and I on Saturday while we stood in uptown with signs pressing ICE to ask if we were okay after being flipped off by a jerk driving by. Today ICE tried to bust out his car window with a gun.
Jesus. My state rep getting held at gunpoint by CBP. They even knew who he was.

While in the front yard last night before it rained, I saw a few bats zipping through the air. Does anyone in Chicago have advice on putting a bat house in your yard?

Does anyone know a doctor that does medical malpractice? A friend has been run through the wringer and just found out how neglectful her treatment has been.

Hey Chicagoans! My teenage nieces are coming for a visit. Aside from the beach and thrifting and Chinatown, what should I do with them?
