I went round in circles trying to think what my action should be, but I’m a crafter not a bullet engraver. The most vicious thing I could see myself doing was sending threatening decoupage.
I landed on building community with my neighbours, and have started be giving homegrown produce (mainly kale and loofah), homemade bread and free childcare in my neighbourhood (just a couple of hours a week). I’m also just not spending money until I must, and being more conscious when I must.
The death of the united Healthcare CEO started me thinking, and made me take action. It’s small action, but it’s within my ability. What did it do for you?
(Pic: my photo but not my craft, I bought these fingerpuppets a long time ago, but of course now I have a fave)
There are very few rich and powerful people in the world that actually care about the rest of us. If we don’t take care of each other, no one will. I’ve also started looking into what I can do locally. I think it’s truly the only way we can get through the world today. Thrive out of spite.
This is where I landed. I think so many of us have so many different roles in society, and the role of the Luigi is so important, but those of us that aren’t luigis can make a difference every day, just by not being class traitors.
It just so happens to be 3/15, so I hope some people find this useful:
