Lemme give you some hopium from the trenches in NC. Source: I am the elected chair of my precinct in a purple NC county. We are seeing volunteers signing up and turning out on the ground in numbers not seen since 2008. My precinct was not organized for the past few years. In 2022 there was 6% voter outreach. As of today, we've achieved 83% and our county chair sent a shout out yesterday to say a lot of others are keeping pace. Tricia Cotham's little maneuver really pissed a lot of folks off. Not to mention Mark Robinson is a lunatic. If you want to get connected to write postcards or knock doors, hmu!

My 5yo has discovered minecraft. Do I want to listen to 12 straight minutes of wolf variants? No I do not. But I listen politely because he's sharing something that's important to him and that bond is precious to me. Vance is shit and my heart hurts for this little who's learning that's how people who love you talk to you

Personally I've had numerous cervical biopsies (as in they cut chunks out of you with the devil's scissors) and the standard of care is no numbing agent or pain medication of any kind. The dr said to give a yell if I was going to faint bc that happens a lot. I asked why I couldn't have something and they were like, 'dunno. We just don't do that'

There was a documented case of a nurse stealing pain medication and injecting women with saline to cover for it and it took years for her to be caught because no one believed the women who said they were in pain. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/22/podcasts/serial-the-retrievals-yale-fertility-clinic.html&ved=2ahUKEwi1n93Yip2FAxWONlkFHStzA7wQFnoECAUQAQ&usg=AOvVaw23_e6wsBLQ7jybQBvuJOvI

 
 

carpenter star quilt

Done on my domestic machine. Getting a lot better at binding, still not quite straight but really proud

 

My kiddo and I are having a fruit and vegetable challenge. Each month we'll seek out a fruit or vegetable we've never tried and taste it. My BFF is trying to walk all the greenways in our county (that is county not country, low stakes! Attainabl!). How about you?

This one took a minute! I ended up using 9 different colors of thread and free-handed the stars on my domestic machine. Very happy with it

 

World domination is nigh!

 

I've done lots of block quilts but never pieced one together like this. It's going to have a moon and stars as well, possibly some clouds if I feel ambitious
