@CrazyVibes_1 It’s beautiful work and so sweet to do this for his sister. I am a librarian at a middle school and I started a crochet club. We have as many boys in the club as girls! Another school I know of, the football quarterback crochets. Do what you love! Other opinions don’t matter.

My 15-year-old son hasn't left his room in three months. Not since the boys at school shoved his crochet project into a trash can and filmed it, posted it with "What kind of guy does this?" while everyone laughed. I'd find him at 2 AM, surrounded by patterns he'd saved from online, yarn everywhere, eyes red from crying. "This is all I'm good at," he'd whisper. His little shop online became his only safe place while kids his age destroyed him daily for doing something they called "girly." Then last week, he emerged from his room holding this gnome outfit. "For the baby," he said, voice barely audible. His first complete costume for his 10-month-old sister. Every single stitch perfect. The pointed red hat, that fluffy white beard, those striped legs with tiny boots. When the baby giggled and reached for his face, my son smiled. First real smile in months. "Do you think it's... stupid?" he asked, waiting for me to confirm what those boys said. Stupid? My broken boy had turned months of torture into something magical. I posted these photos in his online shop while he wasn't looking. Orders came flooding in within hours. "This is professional work!" "Does he do custom orders?" "Tell your son he's incredibly talented!" He's reading every comment now, crying. Happy tears this time. Talking about maybe going back to school. Maybe finding other kids who create things. Maybe those boys were just scared of someone different. To anyone who thinks a teenage boy hiding with yarn is wasting his life, sometimes he's saving it. One stitch at a time. Please tell him what you think. He needs to hear it from more than just his mom.

@Cfojs @POTUS Not true. I worked and paid into social security for 32 years then started a career in education. My social security would have been greatly reduced when I took my teacher retirement. If you paid into it you should get your portion.

@POTUS Most of these people did not pay into social security. Teachers for example have a funded teachers pension. Now they double dip?? #zelena

Today, I signed legislation expanding Social Security benefits for millions of teachers, firefighters, nurses, police officers, other public employees, and their spouses and survivors. This is a big deal.

@POTUS It is a big deal! THANK YOU!

@CalltoActivism No!

@ACLU @ACLUTx isn’t this the same thing that happened in Weatherford Texas? Another investigation please!

@PhilBildner That is amazing!

And then some of us happen to be lucky enough to have a real friend, best friend, and forever friend like LeUyen Pham (who isn’t on this site) who designs all his tattoos and also makes him illustrations that look like this. Love you, Uyen!
