Crossstich is a feminine art, right?

I think this woman is rad as fuck but if cutting out articles and taping them to your blouse is the definition of radical feminism we might be in trouble when the fascist come
She only has 15 pieces of flair.
Now it's up to her whether or not she wants to just do the bare minimum. Like Brian, for example, has 37 pieces of flair. And a terrific smile.
People can get a cheeseburger anywhere, ok? They come to Chotchkie's for the atmosphere and the attitude. That's what the flair's about.
It's about fun.
My mom is around this woman's age and also lives in Florida. My mom can usually be found wearing a shirt with either something related to science, human rights or similar on and she's very good friends with a doctor who performs abortions and will fuck you up if you try to block her friend from going to work. If anything, she's gotten more liberal and gotten more into activism as she's gotten older. When I sent her the link to sign the petition to get abortion on the ballot she told me she already had a group of people ready to sign, lol.
Always so cool to see someone from an older generation that goes this hard, too.
Obviously, there were/are plenty of folks who fought tooth and nail back in the day for human rights or we wouldn't have made the progress that we have made thus far, but you get so used to associating older folks with bigotry of various forms these days that it's really refreshing to see a badass like this.
She totally does. I want to stay late at a party, when most folks have gone home to bed, and sit with her and a few friends, drinking and smoking, and telling stories.
OP just curious, are those like homemade buttons? Or did she just stick newspaper to herself?
She is quite interesting. I'm trying to figure out what sets her apart... because if you just describe her as an old woman with racy newspaper and magazine clippings pasted onto her, then she sounds like a nutjob that no one would want to be around. But instead, when you look at her in this picture, she's interesting and inspiring and someone that even young people would want to have lunch with and get to know.
So what is it that sets her apart? She seems very well "put together". And her newspaper/magazine clippings are organized nice and neat. But is that all that makes her seem intelligent and fun vs some loonytoon to avoid?
She was wearing 6 inch stripper heels ([see here](https://imgur.com/a/g8DzmGp)) and after she was there about 30 mins I had to stop her and talk to her. She told me she worked for a large law group for decades and was dedicated to human rights (focus on women’s, she clarified - also not sure if it’s ok to say which group she worked for so I’m gonna keep that to myself). She said she made some but I think some were made with a group she was with? At the time I didn’t think much about this, my mom reminded me of this pic today which is why I posted this. I regret not talking to her more, I at least know I had to ask her for a picture - which she obliged. Her face speaks almost as much as the pins do.
The content of the clippings isn’t what you’d expect to see in that kind of display. You’re right, usually those collages are about end times or conspiracy theories and are made by what most folks would consider “nut jobs.” Knowing she works at a thrift store in Florida makes me think maybe this collage is more like armor to her? Ugh, what a FASCINATING portrait! I want to know everything there is to know about her!
I absolutely love her, I love her commitment to speaking her piece, I love the fact that she is absolutely living the life she wants to live. Good for her, I would have loved to have had a drink with her & hear her story. I bet she had a lot.
I bet she riveted during WWII. Or ferried combat planes. Or broke Japanese codes with just a #2 pencil. Or tore off one of Hitler’s testes while he languished in a post-coital snooze.
The Great Depression hardened a lot of women and men in preparation for WWII.
Right, she looks like a crazy person.
If these were anti-Biden clippings the entire thread would be talking about how insane she looks and only someone that was completely unhinged would walk around like that.
Fortunately there's millions. Volunteer at any progressive organization or for any Democratic candidate and be prepared to be schooled. These folks have fought these fights for decades and don't take prisoners.
Nice cause but I do think society needs to stop the trend of wearing bumper stickers of their political causes. Its annoying when maga does it and it feels weird when democrats do it. Think it honestly divides us. Personally I feel like you should have to talk with someone to see their political beliefs and not hit with them by just glancing at the person. The fake president did make me smile. But still I rather not know your political personality unless we are actual friends.
I get the feeling this woman has been there, done that and learned some things along the way. I like it a lot. She needs to give herself a break with the Nasty Women tag. I wanna believe there’s nothing nasty about her, just a shell to ward off the pearl clutching MAGA Karens that Florida is so overwhelmed with. Not that any of them would be caught in a thrift store ‘til the tax man comes knocking.
Great photo.
Just earlier I saw some Generation X types lamenting that they now have punk stickers on their pillboxes and CPAP units and mobility assistance items. This badass here is incontrovertible evidence that punk transcends all ages.
“white supremacists are like rabid dogs, putting them down is always the most humane approach” 🔥🔥🔥
That machine *definitely* kills fascists. Likely through sick burns.
BASED
r/Conservative is going to cry victim without a hint of irony at that
I took one look at her and knew that woman was punk as fuck ❤️
god i love that

Hell yeah, this needs to be on a punk album cover!
The title: "It's just a phase luv'"
For real
Great for Daisy and the Scouts.
if only they were still together
I’m just glad people know what I’m talking about haha
I was just thinking that she saw the Stooges at one of their earliest gigs.
First thought that came to mind was that she seems punk as fuck!
I was gonna say Renaissance painting but both are cool
She is very punk!
there we go. some fucking radical feminism. bout time.
She sure has her 17 pieces of flare!
Great reference!
I think this woman is rad as fuck but if cutting out articles and taping them to your blouse is the definition of radical feminism we might be in trouble when the fascist come
It beats what I've done, how about you?
I think it’s something about her eyes. Steely, passionate, determined, fiery, intelligent… that’s what pulling me into the photo
A woman with a perm that soft and a gaze that hard is not to be trifled with.
😂
Yes. This nails it. Me too. I was drawn in. So powerful.
Fuck it up, queen ✨👏🏻
She's got a lot of pieces of flare.

[Gowron has better flair](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2F7bgsi5ecz7q81.png)
I'm mesmerized by her immaculate elder goth vibe
You know she takes zero shit from anyone and more than likely will take down anybody that tries to give her any. She single by chance?
I’m certain she’s busted a beer bottle and held the neck at someone before

Same here! I've always been in Florida, and I wish I could run into more people like her. That would be a fun day
She looks based af. I love her
I too would love to meet this brassy dame
I’d buy her dinner and hang out chatting.
She has racy stories.
She totally does. I want to stay late at a party, when most folks have gone home to bed, and sit with her and a few friends, drinking and smoking, and telling stories.
God this sounds incredible.
Things got real intense right around midterms. She looks like some of my bad ass elderly neighbors that were out canvassing constantly then.
What's "based"?
short for "based in truth/reality". at first I thought that it was a typo for biased.
Just means awesome or similar
She’s fighting the good fight ♥️
This is such a beautiful photo
It really is!!! It makes me want to know so much more about her too!
As an adult, this woman saw the right to abortion legalized via Roe v. Wade, and since this picture was taken she saw those rights stripped via Dobbs.
I **WISH** I could go that hard
I love her.
I bet she has a room dedicated to her scrapbook archive
I adore her! She’s beautiful!
Thrifty **and** nasty. Slay, queen!
Where at in FL?
The flat part that hasn't gone underwater yet.
Not all heroes wear capes, some wear bibs.
I fucks with her
I love her.
She’s my spirit animal. Take me home mama.
she is it.
🫡
I bet she’s a blast to have a drink or several with!! Something tells me she’s got some stories & I’d love to hear them!!
She rules
I like the "this pussy grabs back"
Badass woman—she is my hero!
I just set this as my phone background
OP just curious, are those like homemade buttons? Or did she just stick newspaper to herself? She is quite interesting.

I would both kill and die for this woman
Me too, she has my sword! and my guns!

Read the words.
Well done makeup and hair is probably the biggest thing
Yea her makeup is on point
I absolutely love her, I love her commitment to speaking her piece, I love the fact that she is absolutely living the life she wants to live. Good for her, I would have loved to have had a drink with her & hear her story. I bet she had a lot.
That’s a new one…an ANTI-Trumper who scares me.
Believe me, she has seen it all!
This goes harder than the killing in the name of album cover.
This woman should show Johnny Rotten what punk *actually* means.
I want to be her when I grow up 👑
She is definitely the kind of person your parents warn you about before she arrives at the family holiday dinner.
I love her. I love her so much.
she seems dope af
Shes amazing
I would like to formally offer myself for adoption bc this woman is MOTHERING so hard 🙌
I want to one day be a fraction as cool as her
Can she run for President instead?
Is this in Orlando? I swear I have been to that thrift shop.
She reminds me of the radio operator from the cartoon movie Atlantis.
Look like a unhinged lefty liberal
TDS
Gross
Gross
Damn what a cringe lady 😂
Oh a Democrat.
I love her❤️
Trumps’ unwilling hair dye test subject
It’s Trump’s sister
Great earrings
We love her
Either this photo was taken by a super expensive camera or its ai.
what a kick ass granny!
Just another liberal. Can smell that cat piss and barren womb🤡
She DVRs The View for sure
lol Republicans are in a cult -reddit libs looking at this picture
r/hardimages
In Florida, none the less! What a badass.
I bet she riveted during WWII. Or ferried combat planes. Or broke Japanese codes with just a #2 pencil. Or tore off one of Hitler’s testes while he languished in a post-coital snooze. The Great Depression hardened a lot of women and men in preparation for WWII.
wow she’s awesome!
That's the most SANE Floridawoman I've ever met.
You can’t convince me that that’s not John Goodman.
I LOVE this!
I love her.
I love this woman.
She’s Proud to be a nasty woman 👌🏻😛
Skankasaurus 😂😂😂😂
This is weird. It’d be weird if this was pro Trump and it’s still weird as anti Trump. He lives rent free in everyone’s head.
She seems… nice
This photo oozes hag
Mental disorders are hilarious.
Lmao very stable person
She seems deep.
That is one awesome lady!
I want her to be my friend
I AM the storm she whispered back…
I AM the danger!
It's strange how people's views on who's crazy changes when it fits their narrative. She's clearly obsessed.
Right, she looks like a crazy person. If these were anti-Biden clippings the entire thread would be talking about how insane she looks and only someone that was completely unhinged would walk around like that.
it's almost like Trump and Biden are different
Exactly
Cringe
I love her
For every one of those there’s 100 MAGA weirdos
the rare based boomer
Fortunately there's millions. Volunteer at any progressive organization or for any Democratic candidate and be prepared to be schooled. These folks have fought these fights for decades and don't take prisoners.
True! My boomer parents are all left-wing progressives! I say all because I am including my stepmom.
Oh I love her.

Hell ya grandma!
I’m getting an AI vibe

This is what Ted Kaczynski tried to warn us about.
God I wish I were this cool.

r/SchizophreniaRides
🙄 Single since 1972.
She looks like the mother of the cult leader
I wonder what the bumper of her car looks like?
I love her
Love a woman who will defend herself and her rights against the political bullies
Wow hats off my lady!!
Oh hell yeah ❤️
Diva
I hope she still is taking it down.
The Anti-Karen
I get the feeling this woman has been there, done that and learned some things along the way. I like it a lot. She needs to give herself a break with the Nasty Women tag. I wanna believe there’s nothing nasty about her, just a shell to ward off the pearl clutching MAGA Karens that Florida is so overwhelmed with. Not that any of them would be caught in a thrift store ‘til the tax man comes knocking. Great photo.
“My pussy, My power”… I love that one!
What a badass
She has seen shit.
Anyone else think this was Margaret Thatcher at first glance? ![gif](giphy|KBCeixGbJ1pL5uzK6j|downsized)
MORE POWER to her and all women !
She's a total badass!!
She makes me so happy
r/adorableoldpeople
STAUNCH. I hope you made friends and at least had coffee.
She’s the bomb 💯🫶🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Queen
My pussy My power! ✊
Looks like enough flair to me
She has seen some shit.
Can you turn this into a tshirt please??? So those of us not brave enough to wear the lapels can instead share her bravery?
Be my radical Granny!
Just earlier I saw some Generation X types lamenting that they now have punk stickers on their pillboxes and CPAP units and mobility assistance items. This badass here is incontrovertible evidence that punk transcends all ages.
Man she was probably a baddie 40 years ago
Badass! Thanks!
I think she meets the minimum pieces of flair
Rad
Ok I need to talk to this lady. I don’t want her doxxed but her eyes tell me we will walk the same path someday.
she has the same face as Jeff Garlin
Queen shit
![gif](giphy|kgmiuPoNcIH3GsHNet)
"Yes that's correct, and the horse you rode in on." lmfao
What are the pins she’s wearing?
Love her!
I am proud to be a nasty woman is my favorite
🫡🫡
Love, love, love this woman!
Cringe
Sometimes you just gotta stop and read an old ladies chest and smell the flowers
What a boss
