Recovering from Huricaine Helene that damaged my weaving and machine knitting studio.Luckier than most of WNC. Weaving, spinning, beading, knitting, and cats are my passions.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/

I think there is going to be a Red Rural Recession and soon if all the cuts continue as is

All the firings, cancelling of grants and contracts with companies , the closing of offices, disproportionately impact small towns, cities and states.

Their finances will be turned upside

Wow. Caroline Kennedy breaks her silence on RFK Jr in a message to Senators: β€œWe grew up together. It’s no surprise that he keeps birds of prey as pets because Bobby himself is a predator. He enjoyed showing off by putting baby chickens & mice in a blender to feed to his hawks.”

What spurred this on was passing by a usually empty campground that is now full of tiny homes and donated trailers. Please don't forget VA,TN,&GA. The city of Irwin TN was wiped off the map.Pray or donate for us!
