I remember wearing a safety pin on my jacket in 2017 to signify I was an ally to immigrants.
I wonder if we're going to have more of those open displays of resistance to the next trump administration, or are people just beat down?
That’s what’s missing for me right now.
Joy.
Laughter.
Light.
We’re surrounded by Felon culters; signs and flags still up.
I’ll be damned if I let them see me like this; I’m not a good actor.
So I’m staying home a few days; inside.
Taking time.
But next time I see them, I’ll be ready.

Researching sarcastic one liners for specifically this issue 😉
They won’t be insulted as it will all be way over their empty heads.
I’ll say it with a derisive smile. 🤷🏻♀️
@MrsDanaD @piquant00 @Yarnchick @ShaneArtBooks thanks y'all. You give me hope for the future.
@rpardee @piquant00 @Yarnchick @ShaneArtBooks
Stronger together
👊🏼
@rpardee I'm already searching for craftivism ways to resist under the radar whether it be pins, jewelry, hats, color coded scarves...we must remain allies for those who will be oppressed imho
I may be a cis white woman, but I will always love my fellow humans
@rpardee Nope, not beat down. I'm looking for new strategies. And I'm keeping an eye on some neighbors if the "massive deportation" goons come after them. I'll do what I can to help.
@rpardee
I won’t lie; I’m not ok.
Everyone has life issues & when anything else big drops, it’s just overwhelming.
I’m still crying off & on, still physically…numb; lethargic.
But I realized something this morning so I’ll answer this way:
I’m down; not out.
Don’t mistake my tears as surrender.
They’re frustration.
Rage.
And when I’ve taken the time, resolve.
Do *every* resistance you feel comfortable with.
Just don’t choose nothing.
We got knocked down.
We have to get up again.
