Which is great for juicing emotions but an untenable way to live.<br/><br/>All we can truly control in this life are our own actions and reactions. It&#39;s a Sisyphean illusion that we can or should induce others to change by any means *other* than setting the best example of what we consider to be a good and just life. 2026-09-13T22:00:14Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszn34qhdhld97cw062xu8x5vp6h0nxsvj23nj46ppkuh34v5nvrvczyzqgqpnn3y7yy4ccety7gsvc9399p3gxj4708eg8sk4p52aacdf8clgsfdy RE: <a href="https://woof.group/@elfkin/117250436997074574">https://woof.group/@elfkin/117250436997074574</a><br/><br/>So I just put this question to the (bag specialist) seamstress who’s taking over production of the #NaNClutch, and I think some #sewing folks might not like her response.
