Tomorrow is No Kings 3.
My husband wants me to be safe.
He made a lanyard for my whistle because he thought it should be around my neck instead of on my keychain.
He carefully braided this twine even though neuropathy makes this task more difficult for him than it would be for most.
I am touched by his thoughtfulness.
Resistance by braiding.
Who knew that was even a thing?
I couldn't have purchased a more beautiful lanyard.
@NorcalGma2 Beautiful work and a real token of love. Snazzy whistle as well! Stay safe out there

@NorcalGma2

It is really the best lanyard possible. ❀️❀️❀️

@NorcalGma2
Something to keep.
@stargazersmith
Sadly I will most likely have many opportunities to wear it. My daughter keeps telling me that this is a marathon.
@NorcalGma2 Okay. This made me cry. You two are amazing! And Summer too, of course! β™₯️🐾

@NorcalGma2

That is love.

@FiddleSix
He used old decoy braid. It is very sturdy.

@NorcalGma2

Nice! I hope it's not scratchy, or that you will have something between it and your skin... May it keep you safe, and may you feel the love in it.

@FiddleSix
I think it is probably polished cotton. The old reel doesn't say anything about the material. Not scratchy though lucky for me.

@NorcalGma2

Excellent! I'm glad you will be wearing it.

@NorcalGma2
Oh my gosh ❀️❀️❀️
That just warms my heart.
He’s a good man πŸ™πŸΌβ€οΈπŸ™πŸΌ
@NorcalGma2 How sweet! And while having the whistle makes sense, I hope you have no need for it tomorrow.
@jeridansky
This will be my first time helping with security. I hope I don't need the whistle too.
@NorcalGma2 love is in small big gestures πŸ₯°
Have a great No Kings protest! 🐸 With a bit of fun.
Hope even more people show up. Can you guess/have a feel for this for where you live? Is it a growing movement?
@Frieke72
I expect tomorrow will bring out the most protesters yet. There will be more than one event.
I am hopeful the numbers are significantly larger than No Kings 2.
@NorcalGma2 ditto. I'm on the other side of the globe but thinking about joining https://indivisible.org/events/no-kings-virtual/ to show support (everybody everywhere is in danger by this bad regime)
NO KINGS VIRTUAL | Indivisible

Indivisible
@NorcalGma2 just checked and it's full 😬 (How? When virtual πŸ€”)
@Frieke72
Wow!
Full is good.
I guess we will have to sign up early next time.
@NorcalGma2 found another while scrolling #noKings πŸ€“
This one is still open for us public it seems (as a nonUS I can't give a zipcode for registration)

@Frieke72
Thanks! I will try to set my husband up with this one.
@NorcalGma2 πŸ‘ŒπŸΌ nice to be able to do this together apart πŸ˜„
@NorcalGma2 That's really sweet. I personally would rather not wearing something that could strangle me in potentially dangerous situations. Stay safe.
@NorcalGma2
Best lanyard ever! Such a kind and loving act. Resistance takes many forms.
Have fun standing for democracy. Be safe. πŸ’š
@NorcalGma2 Maybe he did it because Summer asked him to because she could not do it herself.
@paulehoffman
They are totally in sync at all times.
@NorcalGma2 Awww! He's so awesome.
