The Battle Begins

Alright, y'all.

It's that time of year again.

Unending dinners with family members who are closed minded and bigoted at best, and LITERAL FUCKING NAZIS at worst.

Some of us are in the position to be able to fight against them, to call them out, damn the repercussions. To cut them out of our lives entirely with nary a moment of regret.

And some of us, unfortunately, are not.

This is for you in that position. When family members won't use the right pronouns, refuse to acknowledge your partners, tell you that you're "crazy"... all the bullshit we face. And we're just expected to take it because FAAAAAAMMMMMMILY!

Fuck That.

You. Are. Valid.

You. Are. Worth. Everything.

You. Deserve. Happiness.

Respect.

Love.

You will always have a safe place here.

So, if things get bad today, tomorrow, whenever... You are ALWAYS welcome here. Reach out on Instagram, Twitter, wherever and talk to me. I'll be your support, your champion. I'll be the Best Mom Friend you've ever had.

I love you all so much!

Good luck out there. We'll get through this because we've got each other.

"Courage, my dear lion."

Christmas Hi-hate-this

First and foremost, another apology for another absence. We no sooner got Bee healed up when Jass decided that she needed a turn for an emergency vet visit.

Yep.

She's fine now, but it was another cone and isolation period.

Anyway in better news, I have been knitting a fuckton of stuff! I've managed to finish three Christmas presents already.

Like this one.

And this one.

And don't forget these!

Yeah, it's about to get really boring around here since I can't really show ANYTHING I'm currently making.

JUST PERFECT SINCE THIS HAS BARELY BEEN A KNITTING BLOG THIS YEAR

*sigh*

Literally the only thing that I've done that I can show you are two rows on my Cobweb shawl.



That's it. That's the only non-Christmas knitting I've done.

I can also offer up the few Halloween pics we took on Trick or Treat day in town.

Maybe I can start reviewing yarn or tools or something? Offer up Christmas present ideas for the fiber lover in your life? Suggest some good last-minute present patterns?

I don't know, y'all tell me what you want to see while we're in lockdown mode.

But now, I'm going to go take a much needed shower and then dive right into the next project...

Or just maybe do a few more rows on a shawl for myself. I've earned it.
