Fighting & protesting is much harder on me now than it was 45- 50 years ago! But I will NOT give up. I also will not neglect self care.

Finished Hood Feminism.
It's definitely geared more to privileged white feminists than to all feminists, but since I fit the first category, it was a great sobering read for me.
As a Canadian, there are strong parallels as to what I can improve on here.

I have literally thousands of books on Kindle (that was gifted to me). I've stopped my excessive buying on the site, but still in so deep.

Getting some intarsia knitting practice. Never have gotten the hang of it.
Focusing on making gifts again instead of buying.
Amazon definitely enabled my laziness.
