I wish I could stand to listen to audiobooks, I must be a weirdo. why is the narrator stressing every other word? why are they reading this nonfiction book like a fairy tale? it drives me bonkers. 😭

Happy International Women's Day

My quilt of Justice Sotomayor will be raffled off in April to benefit the Chester (Vermont) Town Democratic Committee. Outside money has been pouring into Vermont the last couple election cycles in order to turn Vermont red. We need to keep VT blue! Watch this space.

next best is the winter solstice bc days start getting longer…
