I have been saying this for years! I hear people I know in rural America say "The liberal elites don't care about us" (or some version of that) all the freaking time but it is just demonstrably false. I'm not sure if Democrats don't do enough to get the word out, or if people just reflexively don't believe it, or a combination, but the idea that Democrats don't do anything substantive for rural Americans does not hold up to good-faith scrutiny.

Everything you post, every interaction you engage in, is a vote and a model for the kind of community you want to be in.
Don't replicate the things that you came here to get away from. Create something new and better.
One of my coworkers is having a baby in March and yesterday I went on an absolutely disgraceful spending spree at Hobbii buying yarn for a blanket (I couldn't decide which Twister colorway to buy so I bought six).
@ellenleigh3 beautiful work!
New Sebastian Barry coming in March!

@MsAlliance oh yes, I did that on Monday and I was a barely sentient blob Tuesday and Wednesday.
My latest finished project: Celestial Sunshine by Tina Tse. This was a mystery knitalong sponsored by my local yarn shop.

Your daily reminder to vote like it means something. #election2022 #Roevember
@monesqe Yes! I think that is where we bought some Liatiko.
@TheNewsOwl I'm not a huge fan of Percival Everett but you can't question his work ethic. The man is prolific.
I'm really excited about the Grimke book.
@monesqe We were in Greece last year and tasted a lot of Assyrtiko! But my favorite winery was Lyrarakis in Heraklio.
She stood before us, without notes, books, or nerves. The lectern was occupied by her handbag. She looked around, smiled, was still, and began.
