Found a #needlefelting kit that I’ve had since the Before Times and decided to put it together. It’s therapeutic, stabbing something over and over and not having to think creatively about it!
The black bits are supposed to be trees, but I think they look a little like the tower of Sauron. So I asked my MERP GM if I could make a tiny needle-felted Barad-Dur for extra XP; he was non-committal. I bet he thinks I won’t actually do it.
The Respect for Marriage Act has just passed the House, 258-169, including 39 Republicans.
It will protect millions of LGBTQ families who otherwise would not have that protection. Senator Tammy Baldwin deserves enormous credit for her leadership in making this happen.
It is a very good thing that this bill is being passed, but it is also a signal of future obstacles. Do not get complacent. This does not end any battles for LGBTQ rights, but it does better prepare us for the battles to come.
