Bitter Threads

Welcome to my blog—a place where late-night thoughts turn into questionable tees, and I share tips'n tricks for us Gen X women navigating life. My obsession? Designing and making comfy clothing without buttons, snaps, zippers, or elastic waistbands. I created my own line because I used to live in my gym clothes—but I'm not a fan of synthetic fabrics. If you’re as comfort-obsessed as I am and love a good shortcut in life, check out thrumstate.com.

Jacki Gethner | Matter Of Fact Approach To Aging

During my brief but memorable encounter with Jacki Gethner at a local writer's café, I was drawn to her candid style of communication. Our conversation covered a range of topics, but what stood out to me was Jacki's dedication to helping people affected by illness to become advocates for their own health. Jacki faced the challenge of living with Hepatitis C and spent many years trying to access medical treatment. Unfortunately, her efforts were unsuccessful due to her age and state restrictions. It wasn't until she reached the age of 65 and became eligible for Medicare that she was finally able to receive the treatment she needed. Despite the struggles with her own health, Jacki has dedicated her career to supporting and educating individuals with a wide range of health challenges. As a licensed massage therapist and Reiki Master, Jacki specializes in somatic therapy and teaches individuals skills to overcome barriers specific to their population. Her expertise has been p...

Burials & Hagster Of Note

Check out this awesome lady, Jodie Perryman who made her own funeral announcements. But that's not what made me what to shine a spotlight on her. It's what she made. Down to the last detail her announcement is perfect. Her card was very tasteful but her humor around death inspired me to make my own very tawdry morticians card. How I'd Like To Be Buried And since we're on the subject of funerals, I'd hate for my family to spend a bunch of money on me after I'm gone (but while I'm here is a different story) and being buried in a casket gives me the heebie jeebies. Cremation seemed like an affordable option until I'd tallied up the environmental costs . I'd prefer to leave the planet without using a bunch more resources so I am saving up. Ideally, I'd love to be turned into compost and used in beautiful gardens and forests. If they choose to bury me, I'm asking for a mushroom suit.

Hecate: A Patron Goddess for Aging Women

As we age, it can be challenging to feel seen or valued in a society that emphasizes youth and beauty. At Bitter Threads, I am celebrating aging women and challenging societal expectations that lead to feelings of invisibility. That's why I have chosen Hecate as our patron goddess - she embodies the strength, wisdom, and resilience we hope to inspire in women of all ages. There are several qualities and associations that make her an ideal representative for us. Wisdom and Experience As a mature goddess, Hecate represents the wisdom and experience of age. She is often depicted as a guide or mentor, leading others through dark or difficult times. For aging women, this representation is powerful and vital, as it reminds us that our age brings a wealth of knowledge and insight that should be celebrated. Independence and Self-Reliance Hecate was often associated with independence and self-reliance. In ancient Greece, she was worshiped by women living alone or outside traditional ...
