I sure hope some leaders in the Democratic party read this piece. And maybe even act on it.

You are the doorway to the season that awakens my soul... but I must confess that I love you only because you are a prelude to my beloved October.

Yarn bombing is where knitted or crocheted yarn—rather than paint—adorns public objects like poles, and benches. Also known as "guerrilla knitting,", it is a street art originally started by women #Womensart

There are a whole bunch of reasons to turn out for #nokings tomorrow but here are maybe the top two:
1) huge turnout is a signal to republicans edging away from Trump and puts steel in Dem spines.
2) least we can do to honor bravery of Minnesotans who turned the tide

February 26 is an important date in the history of resistance, and it has to do with knitters during WWII. Come read the story. If you’re a knitter, maybe you’ll want to cast on with me tomorrow? And if you aren’t, there are other ideas for you here. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...
