Are these ridiculous? Yes. Do I care? No. They make me happy. They hurt no one. And right now, I am 100% just leaning fully in to anything that makes me happy hand hurts no one.

On the off chance you feel the same, I’m going to write them up for folks on Patreon.

Could you figure them out on your own? Probably, I mean I did, and you’re at least as clever as I am! Is it sometimes nice to have someone tell you how to skip the first several rounds of mistakes and jump right to having things come out well? I mean I think so, but opinions may vary.

But yeah, I’m holding my soul together with pretty colors and sheer spite at the moment, and these are helping. So this is what I’m doing while I wait to see if my pouches make it through the tariff maze and plan letter writing socials with friends (you’re absolutely invited!) to beg my elected officials to do their damn jobs.

Because finding joy, even when things are awful is an act of resistance. It’s how you hold yourself together so you can come back and fight again tomorrow. So take a moment. Do something that brings you joy. Then do the next hard thing. You can do it. I have faith in you. (And if you’re local, please please please come write letters with me tomorrow! There will be yarn, and people who share your frustration, and stickers, and you’ll leave feeling like you did something and that you’re not alone. I promise it’s worth leaving your house for!)
