@badasscrossstitch.bsky.socialWent to the Obama presidential museum today. It was hard. To be surrounded by messages of democracy, inclusivity, joy, art, and community- to hear their speeches. It hurts to be reminded so powerfully how quickly we went so far in the wrong direction.
@badasscrossstitch.bsky.socialIt took all my power not to steal her.

@badasscrossstitch.bsky.socialTo say this has been a day would be an understatement.
@badasscrossstitch.bsky.socialChicago! I’ll be at @maydelcraft.bsky.social on Saturday from 1-3 for a book signing to celebrate the opening of their new needlework reference library!

@badasscrossstitch.bsky.socialI feel like a lot of folks are just holding their breath for the midterms.
I would love for you to know about these free Zoom trainings so you can prepare and take action.
