NO KING ANY TIME: 100 Days (34)

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 34: 

Today’s Project was a couple more little dolls for the second set of ten.

I was going to make a new sign for tomorrow’s NO KINGS march:

TURN THE FILES INTO TRIALS

PROSECUTE THE PEDOPHILES

because I think it’s really important to keep calling for prosecutions. But I pulled out my signs from previous NO KINGS Marches, and decided to re-use the one from last time.

No King Any Time (A Side) and Nothing Is More American Than Rejecting Kings (B Side). I usually wear Weeping Liberty around my neck. George Washington was from NK1. I’ll carry my Wave Goodbye to the Patriarchy handkerchief.

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 31: On Which I Beg You To Stand Against Kings

Do you have a plan to join or support the No Kings Marches this Saturday, March 28th? You can look up No Kings Marches Near Me and find one to join. If you can’t join for some reason, can you make signs for friends? Or drive folks to a march? Or photocopy Singing Resistance songs for people to hand out? Can you lend someone a tambourine? Can you prepare a meal for marchers afterward? Can you call your congresspeople? Or write letters? Can you donate food or money to local food banks that are helping people who are afraid to go out for fear of ICE and CBP? While we want as many people as we can get into the streets, there are other ways to participate if you don’t have time or feel safe.

I outfitted two more poppets today, and I’ll get them to Radiance this weekend. They’re ready to get out on the streets and do the work! I always fall in love a little with the poppets I make. Tonight’s two are going to be difficult to part with. Wide open hearts. Fierce and hopeful.

Little Warriors: 100 Days (28)

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 28: On Which I Invoke the Warriors

One of the awakenings brought about by the Epstein/Trump Files is the certainty that it takes a village to protect a predator. It takes people like the Chomskys, who claim they were innocently naive, despite Noam Chomsky’s deeply thoughtful critical analysis of social movements and philosophical ideas. Opportunists like the former Prince Andrew and the United States President and other wealthy and privileged men, predators themselves, who counted on the circles of secrecy to keep them undetected. Winkers and nudgers like Deepak Chopra, who clearly knew what was happening, and enabled the predator, kept his secrets, considered themselves and him to be outside the bounds of social convention. Women who groomed the girls. All the staff at all the properties. People who suspected but turned a blind eye. A flagrantly unlawful DOJ. Senators and Congresspeople afraid of what they might discover. Shame on the village that guards the secrets of predators.

I outfitted three of the Little Protectors today. They will be warriors, feral and fierce. A definite Do Not Mess With Me energy here.

Spell: 100 Days (22)

Tying Up Loose Ends

Day 22:

Magic Spell/Prayer to Turn the Files into Trials

Take Wool or Yarn or String
Fiber is magical
Spin, knit, crochet, weave, braid, or just make knots

Sing:
Somebody is hurting my sisters
and it’s gone on far too long,
it’s gone on far too long,
it’s gone on far too long.
Somebody is hurting my sisters,
and it’s gone on far too long,
and I won’t be silent anymore.

When you cut your threads, imagine the girls and women breaking free from cycles of abuse. When you knot or twist a thread, imagine the abusers getting caught in the web of accountability.

To activate the spell: Don’t be silent anymore. Speak up.
