Me stating why I do not like a knitting pattern is not a personal attack on people who do. It's a knitting pattern, not a personality. 🧶

If you're making a perfectly shot video of driving , while drinking coffee so you can say "I'm not invited "I may not be invited back but at least they know I'm not okay bringing politics into knitting and buying yarn from wherever I want" is in fact a politics statement. 🧶

🧵Just like optimisticsoap (IG) I’ve seen a wave of defeatism—“What elections?” “Why bother?” That hopelessness? It’s not wisdom. It’s surrender. And it’s exactly what authoritarians want: for us to give up before the fight even starts. Here’s how we push back—starting now: links in thread

We are watching the billionaire technofascists use their AI pets to rewrite history in front of our very eyes. Never assume AI is some kind of neutral tool. It is a fascist tool and anyone who doesn’t get this at this stage is a fool.

honestly does seem like the basic dynamic in american politics right now is that a critical number of voters treat Democrats like their (nagging) mom or their (bitch) wife and treat Republicans like the “cool” dad or husband who is at best a deadbeat

If you’re ever looking at a catastrophe or impending catastrophe and wonder which side is more to blame, the answer is simple: the more powerful side. Whichever side in a conflict has more power has more responsibility for peace and the avoidance of bloodshed.

It is totally OK to care about the Israeli hostages and the devastation of the people in Gaza both. It is totally evil to use people who are not actively holding the hostages or part of the government fighting or making decisions as targets of your rage against injustice.

And if I could make people learn just one craft thing, it’d be textile-related. Call me next time you’ve knitted with some yarn with wool you washed and spun yourself. Tell me exactly how long it took. Then go look up the first thing humans industrialized.
