My group is going to make Pussy Hats in honor of childless catwomen, which I was at one point in my life. I saw Kamala speak in person in some obscure building in Chicago to stump for Governor Pritzker. She was a wonderful speaker there too, and she was not even the candidate. Right on for childless cat women!

I may have to dig up the one I wore to the Texas Capitol in 2016... an excellent idea! just don't know what I did with it, I was so happy to be done with The Blob in 2020 lol

That is what we said, dig em up or make some more. I would like to call them Cat Hats though.

I'm good with that lol... You know, that basic hat design -- a rectangle with the short ends sewn together, and one long edge pulled in at 3 points (or maybe 4) and tacked together to make the crown -- is the very first hat I knitted in 4-H. I was 9, and never had a clue that the pattern might come in handy some day... :)

I think there should be a group meeting of Childless women for Harris. That would include my 19-year old daughter, who happens to be childless and petless. Also, we should have the options of Puppy hats too. However, I believe that JD Vance despises cats because they are considered "feminine" and dogs are considered "masculine." With his toxic masculinity I do not know why he is married to a woman. He should just be giving his sperm to a bank and then he can procreate with out having any interaction with our inferior gender.

Don't worry, Vance has some words for you, too, it turns out: women who chose not to bear children, he says, are sociopaths, while women who couldn't bear children are objects of pity. .I think I'm going to go with the candidate that doesn't judge me based on my uterus.

JD Yeech has a daughter Mirabel who is 2! Poor her. Hope she schools him when she hits middle school and learns that her dad is a truly embarrassing A--H---!

I don't knit either, but a friend does, and she is going to lead a knitting party. For my birthday she knit me flip top gloves that are also mittens. Ordering is good too.
