This is nothing but assault and he should be charged and sued for it.

what is this "writing on bullet casings" fetish? can people just go back to, like, feet or something?

I've been a knitter for 35+ years, but I'm new to crochet. I have found it challenging to get straight edges when going back and forth. I used this project to practice that and reading the fabric. Multi-colored yarn helped me to see the stitches more clearly. #handcraft #crochet

I knit these minimalist cashmere hand warmers about 20 years ago and they were falling apart. (see 3rd pic) I used a sort of kintsugi crochet approach to repair them and made them more fabulous. #knitsky #handcraft

Rockelle Swellsh came out for her Mamarazzi 15 seconds of fame. No. They didn't announce their sexuality or gender. They just prefer to be under the rock. #crochet #amigurumi #handcraft

that's a lot of people to disappear. I hope, in the end, we see all the people in this admin prosecuted. Meanwhile, how do we find the missing?

Completed a vest for my daughter. The yarn is from UFO of 20+ years. I was doing something experimental, but lost the notes. Guess I was hoping they'd show up. Finally, I frogged it and reclaimed the yarn. Feels good to clean that slate. #knitting #handcraft #knitsky

what happened to the "recent news" feed?

Ruffalo: I'm reaching out to all of my brothers and sisters in the entertainment industry, to join us...They're coming after celebrities because they know we are the last ones to actually be able to have our freedom to speak. So use your platform wisely, use it generously for this movement. #NoKings

Look at where Sinclair and Nexstar do and don't have stations. You'll see the political dividing lines in the US. Two propaganda machines have done their work. Fight for freedom of speech, shut these two down, push for clearer rules for news designation, and we'd have a lot of de-escalation.

I'd like to see a list of advertisers on Sinclair and Nexstar. (I don't have or watch broadcast TV, but those who do could start making the list.) Boycotting their advertisers will hit them where it hurts. Kimmel will likely land a new gig. But, defending our freedom of expression depends on us.

Our gargoyle, Francois, prefers to be called Frankie, thank you very much. Also, they have been asking for earrings for their birthday for centuries! How come no one adorns these fabulous ears?! #amigurumi #crochet #handcraft

I'm an atheist, who was raised in Christian churches. This woman's analysis of Kirk vis-a-vis Jesus and Christianity matches what I recall reading and being taught about the man. I don't recognize Christianity in any of the rhetoric of the so-called Christian Right.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

Sad to see jay.bsky.team taking a stubborn, almost hostile, tone with users. Of course we can leave. We had hoped for better from here, though.

respectability politics has always been a tyranny of politeness tactic.

This. Institution always end up with their main mission being to maintain or grow the power of the institution. We need institutions to have achievable missions and then be dissolved, if they're to serve any sustainable purpose in society.

What's up in my fiber craft life? It has taken me several days to sort out how to make this wing. Partly due to being new to #crochet. Partly due to a decidedly unhelpful pattern. But, here it is and it's mirrored twin is on the way. What am I making? #handcraft #fiberart

a good intro in the far-right infighting. #groyper

Noting that a certain person who is no longer with us thought these events were an acceptable price for society to pay.

Hey Bsky, taking health care from people is political violence. Defunding school lunches is political violence. Sending ICE to purge brown people is political violence. Blocking women's bodily autonomy is political violence. Funding a genocide is political violence. Which violence are you ok with?

#Crochet question! Is the "back loop" the same loop regardless of which side of the fabric you're looking at? Or does it change, to be the loop farthest from you based on which side of the fabric is facing you? Can't find a clear answer in my searching.

He wants to legalize domestic violence.

do they not realize that the states they attack are the economically stable states? that the other states would fail, economically, then socially [due to growing unrest from the economic fallout]? they think using the military guarantees their success? it won't go as they plan. it will be ugly.

NYC, you know what to do.

one nice thing about having lived long enough to exist in the era of social media is that people like me, who have been speaking about the history of non-democracy in the US, for decades, finally have comrades. 20 years ago, I would get eyerolls or shouted down. now, people nod and expand.

Fomenter-In-Chief.

Gave them a nest. [All these little projects are so I can learn about crochet and maybe end up designing my own things.] Do they need a tree, now? Maybe a forest. #crochet #amigurumi #handcraft

Thoughts on the state of vaccines: As states develop their own health care mandates, we might see the US split between health standards. Healthy states won’t want to let unvaccinated pathogen carriers in. As children start dying in unvaccinated states, the anger/despair could fuel civil war. 1/

Wtf?! Stupid is the top job qualifier, I guess. We’re doing nature a solid by self-destructing.

People who are criticizing the #Epstein victims for not naming names at a press conference seem sus to me. Of course they can't just accuse someone of being a pedophile or protector of. It would be legal suicide. They have to find the right channels. So glad they have good support.

it's "de facto" illegal. this is similar to redlining home sales and mortgages. the monied class is the power class and if they decided to act in unison, they create de facto law.

Why didn’t some of the Epstein survivors speak out earlier? “I thought someone was going to kill me,” one explained. As another asked, “Why did the government work so hard to protect Jeffrey Epstein and not victims like me?”

In case you miss the Epstein victims' press conference, here's the one video I've found so far which has it in it's entirety.

Was wondering if this would get any mainstream coverage. Here's NBC reporting on the Epstein survivors.

I hope they do a slow release of the list. Name names until all the files are released and a real investigation, with real consequences for perpetrators is underway.

I thought it was obvious, but studies show.... "if a given ideology is fundamentally about one group’s malevolent domination of other individuals, then we should ask ourselves if this is the type of (uncivil) society we want to live in."

Why aren’t they rounding up all the cis white boys who commit 98% of these atrocities? Solidarity with our trans comrades!
