kittydesadeThank you guys, by the way, the three of you who have left notes on my journal. I haven't had much energy to reply, but thank you. It helps.
(Heh. I spent most of yesterday being dizzy and falling over, and then this morning realized I'd lost five pounds in a week which is probably the cause, and, um. When I say I'm low energy I'm not even a little bit kidding. I should be more careful with myself. I'm just so very tired and sad.)
There's a whole lot of bad shit going on, but I have somewhat of a plan to help. Mostly by raising awareness, calling my Congressfolk (Republicans, I don't know that it'll do much good.)
I did figure out that, once I crawl out from under Nanowrimo and Christmas holing up and knitting, one thing I can do is probably use some of my absurd quantities of leather to make bracers as arm-shields against batons and things like that. It's not much but it's something. I also stress knit, I can knit absurd numbers of hats and gloves for people who need them. Hell, I can knit cute headbands to attach earplugs and earmuffs to for the LRADS. That's me, Quartermistress of the Apocalypse.
I don't know, honestly. I keep thinking of all the terrible things that can happen, and the terrible things that have. And I wonder if we can do anything about it. And then I read something like around 360 companies and investors have signed on to a letter asking? demanding? the Great Orange One to uphold the Paris pact on the environment and I think, okay, maybe we're only at Dubya levels of horrible, maybe we're not to Tangerine Mussolini yet. But then, Muslim registry and rolling back of LGBT protections and. Argh.
So, stress knitting. I haven't written or drawn anything yet but I have an hour and a half left of work in which very little of work is left to do, so let's see what happens. And if nothing else, lots of stress knitting.
