Patrice Jetter is a force of nature. She’s joyous in her clothes and her hobbies (sewing, painting, model railroading) and her confidence in small acts of kindness. She found love with Garry Wickham and they want to marry. They can’t afford to because they’re both disabled. Marriage would end their access to US Federal health insurance and income support.
VirtualCraftPopups is hosting some hilarious, modestly priced crafts full of swears. Sales end at 10pm CST/0400 Monday GMT. Greeting cards, small art pieces, needlepoint, textile Christmas ornaments, keychains and such. For example:
Collage rainbow greeting cards, monoprint, stamped and stenciled, which read: "shit storm survivor"; "yes i wake up like this all magical and shit"; "i'm stronger than i think and more badass than i feel"; and my favorite, "i'm pretty sure i'm going to hell on a full scholarship"
