If you really believe harm is bad, and eliminating harm is a worthy goal, you have to start with small steps: eliminate a small harm, not all harms all at once. Reduce a great harm a little, perhaps by helping one individual impacted by that harm, and then another individual, and another... You cannot tackle all harm at once; you must take smaller bites. Set this reality against your need to feel right & correct & pure & perfect. Reducing some harm instead of all harm is not failure! You are not a failure! You may fail now and again, but failing once or twice or ten thousand times doesn't change the fact that you can still try again and succeed! You are not a failure even when you fail to reach your impossible goal of perfection.

"[Al Smith] had no patience for reformers who didn’t understand the importance of practical politics in getting things done, who refused to compromise, who insisted on having the bill as it was written, who raged loudly at injustice who fought single-mindedly for an unattainable ideal. Their pigheadedness had the effect of dragging to political destruction politicians to listened to them, of ruining careers men had taken years to build. He had seen it happen. And more important, what was the inevitable result of their efforts?

Uber is a fucking shell game of a company designed to leech investor capital and output bootleg cabs.

Nvidia posted a profit in 2023 of $4.37 billion. This is like someone stealing less than a penny from me.

And they lock this kid in a prison hospital for LIFE?

It was a ton of fun, and a great way to use up some random charm packs I had no idea what to do with 😆. Soon it will be a wall hanging for my door!!

It’s postage-stamp-ish (1.5” squares, because the charms I started with were 4” that I cut into quarters) here’s the unquilted top:

And the finished back!!

It’s hard to see, but the quilt lines are horizontal on the striped part and are chevrons on the arrow part!!

I was going to make the pattern all pretty to share but I ran out of time, so have my messy handwritten one.

“oh but you’re all hairy & have big noses” we aren’t, but I sure as hell am & I think that’s very sexy of me 🤷🏻‍♀️

My dentist has no idea how I managed to break a tooth eating a soft food. And the part I broke doesn't actually make contact with the top tooth.
