The fiber community has disappointed me in the last week. The reason I stayed quiet on IG is that I didn’t know the conversation was happening here, and not just Facebook. We have a long way to go. I’m not going to write a wall of text that says absolutely nothing of substance like many of my fellow white artists have done this week. It may be a wall of text, but it will say SOMETHING. . Be better. Please don’t tell me you “don’t see color,” because that’s ridiculous. You do. I do. Systematic racism and oppression have driven your fellow human beings to the margins of society for far too long. See the color. Listen. Don’t tell people who they have to forgive. Or to hug it out. Or to just keep knitting and crocheting. .
White-exclusivity in the fiber world is very real, and if you would only listen instead of backpedaling and making excuses, or making it about you and what YOU’RE afraid of, you could change it. . I’ll lose it if I see one more white woman post an artsy photo on IG and cry to her adoring masses that she was SO AFRAID to post anything about racial exclusion in the fiber community. What. Are. You. Afraid. Of. This world was built for you! Look around. How many people do you see vending and running fiber festivals who have even an ounce of diversity? You can change that, but instead you’re worried about your image and your bottom line?! You’re afraid YOU aren’t “safe?!“ . You’re not brave to post about how afraid you are to say the wrong thing. And I’m not brave to post about YOU being afraid to show your white fragility. My BIPOC fellow fiber artists who spoke out this week despite backlash they’ve come to expect in this world - those are the brave ones. Support them. Love them. Give them safety!
I am not going to flounce off of IG or argue with the whitewashers who refuse to learn. I’ll use my privilege to help those who desperately need a voice. If I lose followers and customers, that’s okay. I built my business on love. I’d much prefer to go out of business on principles I stand for as a human being than ever get rich on the dimes of hate. Go support some ethnically-diverse fiber artists. We need them way more than they need us. https://www.instagram.com/p/BsxwVftlTtp/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=oy5jn2yp0v9i
GUYS I HAVE GOOD NEWS! FINALLY WE CAN REPORT THE RAMPENT AMOUNT OF ILLUSTRATED CHILD PORN ON THIS SITE!
Just remeber! If you dont want to end up deleted and possibly arrested, DON’T FUCKING DRAW IT.
It is Illegal. It is harmful. And if you really aren’t a supporter of pedophilia it shouldn’t cause you an qualm to stop.
Imagine how much more he would make in those 10 seconds if he pissed in a Gatorade bottle
Amazon also doesn’t pay anything in federal taxes and a lot of their workers are on government assistance. That’s really fucking cool. that’s where government regulations should kick in.
Profit is the unpaid labor of the masses
11/14/18 - A few days ago, my mom lost her knitting bag (which she’s had longer than I’ve been alive) on Amtrak train 174 which was headed to Boston. If anyone’s seen it or can spread this to people might have, that would be a great help!

THAT’S how you make lace??
And THIS is why lace was a worn primarily by royalty and aristocracy for so many centuries.. It was expensive and time-consuming to produce. Wearing it, and wearing LOTS of it was a blatant show of wealth and excessive consumption.
Mechanically-produced lace wasn’t really a thing until well into the 20th century, but there remains a wide gap between the quality of mass-produced and hand crafted
In general textile arts are highly underated considering the amount of skill and time needed to execute pretty much anything.
Amazing.
oh my goodness gracious this is gorgeous!
ATTENTION HOES: STOP USING BEDPAGE
Please reblog and repost this to spread the word!! Don’t let your trans siblings be erased!!
LGBT BRAZILIANS TAKE CARE WITH DATING APPS AND GRINDR, THEY WILL BE USED TO TARGET VICTIMS PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST
ALSO!!!!!!!!!!!!
In Whatsapp (the most used messaging app in Brazil), if you receive a contact from a “juridical support group for LGBT+ people who are being harassed” called “REAJA”, DO NOT INTERACT!!!!!!! Apparently, this is not a real support group but it’s a trap that are targeting LGBT+ people to physically harm them. They people behind “REAJA” have very malicious intentions.
Be careful and stay safe!!!!!!!
I received the contact of Reaja on sunday night. My friends and I thought it seemed pretty weird so we blocked it… We were right.
You guys freaking out like this is the first time a US president openly collaborated with a fascist dictatorship in latin america
Can we please just express our impotent frustration though
nobody’s allowed to be upset about this unless they can prove they were equally upset in September 1973 when the US backed Pinochet’s coup in Chile, I don’t care if they have to build a time machine to do it
here’s the link to the English version of the article from folha de s.paulo: https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/internacional/en/brazil/2018/10/universities-all-over-brazil-suffer-police-raids-and-electoral-justice-operations.shtml
in case someone else hasn’t linked it yet
wonder why anti fascism worries them so much 🤔
@knottingstring you have probably already seen this but it amuses me
😂 I hadn’t seen it! This is great!!
So much better than the bunny way
Accurate
a friend of mine posted this. today is too much.
Hey do y'all fucks remember two years ago when just before the election all these “don’t vote both parties are bad” or “vote independent!” Posts were going around and then Trump won and now two weeks before midterms there’s all these “don’t bother voting, revolution is the only way!” And “your vote isn’t gonna matter and is an ineffective way to protest” posts are going around? Yeah knock that shit right the fuck off, don’t fall for it and get your ass to the polls, we are not doing this again.
It has been widely recognized by American intelligence agencies that Russians are disseminating false information and have been urging citizens not to vote, the same as they did in 2016.
Do not fall for it!!! Your voice matters!!! Your vote counts!!!
In fact, a Russian was just charged with interfering in the 2018 election for funding online propaganda efforts to manipulate voters.
Don’t trust anything that tells you not to vote, or to vote in a direction that won’t change anything. Remember that the people in power are actively trying to stop you from voting, because your vote matters.
I’m suing the U.S. government for causing the climate change crisis, and I'm 22.
My name is Kelsey Juliana and I’m suing the United States government for causing and accelerating the climate change crisis. I’m 22 years old and I’ve been a climate activist for more than half of my life.
I know that young people like me, and others who have yet to be born, have a right to a safe climate system. The constitution guarantees all Americans the right to life, liberty, and property. But how is anyone supposed to live a life of freedom amid a climate crisis? My own government is violating my constitutional rights by its ongoing and deliberate actions that cause climate change and it’s not right.
I, along with 20 other young people from around the country, filed a lawsuit against the federal government in 2015, called Juliana v. United States.
We’re not asking for money. Instead, we’re asking the court to order the government to develop and implement a National Climate Recovery Plan based on the best available science.
This plan should end the reign of fossil fuels and quickly decarbonize our atmosphere so that we can stabilize our climate system before it’s too late.
The longer we go without climate recovery, the more we risk allowing our climate to spiral completely out of control.
And the climate is spiraling out of control, no matter how many politicians claim we’re experiencing normal fluctuations or, worse, a “hoax.” All of the expert witnesses in our lawsuit say that we are currently—already—in the “danger zone” and an “emergency situation” with only 1°C of planetary heating. Allowing the planet to heat up any more is not safe for our species, as well as so many others. And according to the Trump administration’s most recent environmental impact statement, the planet could heat as much as 7°F before the end of this century. We cannot allow this to happen because we simply will not survive.
We originally filed our lawsuit against the Obama administration. That administration tried to have the case dismissed, but the judge ruled in our favor and found that we should be allowed to go to trial.
In 2017, the Trump administration inherited the lawsuit and it has done everything in its power, employing every conceivable tactic, to deny my fellow plaintiffs and me our right to present our case in court. This administration is so fiercely attempting to silence our voices.
At this point, every level of the federal judiciary—the U.S. District Court, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court—has denied the Trump administration’s efforts to have the case thrown out. Yet it will not halt its efforts to avoid standard legal procedures and confront us, the nation’s youth, in court.
Our trial is officially scheduled to begin on October 29, 2018 in Eugene, Oregon.
What we’re asking for could change everything.
My fellow plaintiffs and I want you with us as we head into the courtroom to confront the United States government for knowingly violating our constitutional rights. Supporters will hold rallies in every state around the country, so if you can’t be with us in Eugene, find your local rally here.
