I have some #Masks masks my MIL made--she& #39;s very crafty and talented.
2/ She& #39;s given some to us, and I& #39;ve bought some from her on her #Etsy site
And they are, honestly -- adorable. If anything from the #apocalypse can be adorable.
Pirate skulls, polka dots, pink, floral, etc. with little crocheted button hooks

3/ my ears are tiny, and earbuds and mask hooks don& #39;t stay on my ears, so the little button hooks are perfect
4/ and I had an imaginary conversation with other women I know -- "hey, Kelly, your mask is so cute!" "I know! My MIL made it! I just love it!& #39; and #cuteness #culture abounds
5/ and it dawned on me not once, NOT ONCE, in the years I& #39;ve been watching #WalkingDead have I heard two women have a conversation about something gendered or what we might call feminine. And it seemed kind of odd to me.
6/ for example, when the woman who cleaned out the stock room did a beautiful job of organizing it, why didn& #39;t anyone say, "Hey, Susan (or whatever her name was), your work at the Quarter Master is really wonderful!"
7/ Or, "Gee, Carol, the way you crafted your weapons are both artistic, creative, and deadly!"
8/ Adult women know and cherish their other women friends. I LOVE my women friends with all my heart. And I know that through this, they& #39;ve kept me sane, stronger, and able to support myself and others, and give love and support back to them.
9/ perhaps, just perhaps, we can share and support one another with love and #femalefriendship
10/ and tell Alpha her shaved head looks practical
Women rule #WalkingDead and I just want to see more love and friendship in their words to each other
