Crochet

childhood memories of the farm focus on the joys of crafts and gardening, but most of all, the warmth of family. I reminisce about days replete with the warmth of my grandma’s love, and the impression she had on my young life.

rainy day. I was in my house, sifting through the usual onslaught of emails, direct messages, and twitter posts. I switch tabs over to my youtube channel, to check how people were responding to my instructional video on how to make Star Wars themed crochet doilies, when suddenly I saw it. I gasped aloud as my eyes met the black text in the comments section that read “ur fat”. I recoiled in my chair upon rereading it. I felt like I couldn’t move. Who was this person, whom I have never met, yet…

Double standards: the unspoken rules that say it’s okay for one person to act a certain way, but completely wrong for someone else. Double standards aren’t anything new. In fact, they have been around since humanity began. If women were strong, they were a threat to men. If men were strong, they were given power and highly praised. This same kind of idea is very prominent in A Doll’s House. The Norwegian play set in the 18th century focuses very heavily on the idea of gender roles, and the…
