Mini Snaps

... so clearly, my earlier response to @hi.ravelry new TOS seems to have ruffled a few feathers. My stories re christian responsibility towards racism, exclusion and supremacy ruffled a few more. 🌺 The trolls are coming out now in droves attacking even, other respectful participants of the discussion in my comment section. But lookie here guy and girlie keyboard bullies ... this feed is like my home. All are welcomed but harassment and bullying of anyone here will NOT be tolerated. 🌺 Clearly some of you are looking for #bipoc crafters to target in this convo but not here. Silencing, intimidation, mocking, hashtag -- makefiberfunagain -- as a comment show clearly who you are. I'm not coming to any of your feeds and targeting you or your friends so KNOW this -- attempts to intimidate or harass anyone will be reported. Abuse doesnt happen anywhere in my life and I'm not taking it here from racist keyboard bullies. Capeesh? Have some bloody manners or leave and take your poor excuse for christianity with you. 🌺 #dnalitheactivist #lovetrumpshate #authenticchristianity #practicalchristianity #mybrotherskeeper #ravelry #whiteprivilege #racism #exclusion #inclusion #Godislove #socialjustice #bipoc #ravelry #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #igknitters #respect #basichumanity #supportravelry #teamjesus

... in this fight for basic human decency, inclusion and calling out wrong, how much of a personal risk are you willing to take? You dont have to tell me, but ask yourself that question. 🌺 Over the past couple of weeks, the experiences of #bipoc and their allies have had me questioning many ideals I hold. Especially the one of good triumphing over evil. The two that were most difficult to process were the threats and attempts to silence @cdickdesigns and the latest involving @lizzieplussix. As Caroline Dick declared that she wouldnt be silenced by ANYONE and @littleskeinanne told of what was happening to her friend, I was reminded of my situation earlier this year. I alluded to it but didnt give details (and Im not now, enough people know the details to corroborate that Im not lying). 🌺 When those threatened say they are afraid, some people think them melodramatic. But I can attest from my own experience, the fear is real. After my incident, I went through my IG account to make sure there was no identifying info on where I live specifically or pictures of me. I took down all but 1. I checked my Etsy and Paypal receipts to see if I had purchase anything from the racist who attacked me because ... oh God, she might have my home and or work address. Overkill? Not at all. Not when my state justice system recently convicted a racist, 45 supporting supremacist for coming from Maryland to NY so he could hunt men of color he thought might be in a relationship with white women. He ended up hacking up a homeless black man with a sword because all the prey he randomly selected on the street were fitter than he was and got away -- not even knowing they were being stalked for a kill. 🌺 So getting up today and seeing @hi.ravelry change in their TOS almost brought me to tears. To have a designer and her husband give out the email contact of @lizzieplussix then have their supporters send her hate mail is beyond a breach of trust. It's vindictive and could potentially be murderous. So thank you @hi.ravelry. If I.didnt already love the platform to death this position would have done it. 🌺 cont'd below ...

... hope on bird's wings ... I'm already ticked off at work ...the audacity of some employees never ceases to amaze me ... thank God I can retreat to this spin when I get home later ... 🌺 Woodland Woodworking Birdhouse spindle and HOPE bowl spinning gifted by @debsfibers.
