Nothing much to say except tomorrow, whatever happens, we are all in this together, for better or worse. If the worse happens, I hope some amazing people are inspired who might never cared enough to do anything, and then they enact change we couldn’t even think possible. If the best happens, I hope we get some amazing things happening that this country deserves, things based on a love of people, not fear, not hate, not profits.
Until we know the future, then, painting giant cookies with vodka food dye (couple drops food coloring with couple drops vodka)… and having giant cookies and vodka around sure can’t hurt things. These tarot card cookies were meant for the halloween countdown, but they just felt more like a pre-election panic cookie. Or pre-election hopefulness cookie. We will just have to see what the cards have in store and persist!
