Now that this has been gifted I can share it😊This was a fun knit, & was kinda magical watching the variegation coalesce&swirl in the opposite direction of the knit pattern. Hoping that I did the Red Theban & @isasaxonists.bsky.social proud with their yarn!

The challenge in the tale is never abt violence; it's abt whether one can live truthfully across time, & keep their word when a moment of reckoning arrives.
As we stand at the edge of a new yr, may we face the unknown w/ courage and creativity. Happy holidays.

The figure of inspiration is from an 11thc image of dark-skinned David in motion just abt ready to beat Goliath. That's how we're gonna enter the new yr.
Stay tuned for more info/pics! 🧶

And please also, AGAIN, never forget that they are inherently unethical to use because no one gave permission for their research or writing to be used in it. It is all stolen, and if you're using the plagiarism machine, please keep that in mind.
My friends, I say this with all the love in my heart: Right now might not be the moment for “But we should be TOLERANT and NUANCED about the plagiarism machines!”
Your tolerance and “nuance” will be weaponised by the grifters and their apologists. Please respect yourselves more.

Sometimes lighter colors get overshadowed by intense ones but every once in a while someone will hear a subtle colorway calling. This order in seafarers' sand is inspired by a striking historical image of a Black traveler in Japan in the 1600s, a reminder of intertwined histories. 🧶

We've tried substituting easily half a dozen different things in that equation for the medium, and it has never, not *once*, worked to address the problem. Because the problem is not the medium, the problem is that we don't treat teens like human beings with human needs and human problems.

Every decade or so we decide to suddenly pretend to care about the emotional wellbeing of teens again, blame a new medium for carrying the exact same messages teens have been using forever to hurt each other, act tough for a few years, and then make the surprised pikachu face when nothing changes!

Every danger people blame on "social media" is actually a societal issue or a danger that comes from other people who could be creating that danger anywhere. It's like blaming the air for transmitting the sound waves of something upsetting someone said.

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in.

But like so many marginalia figures, its lightheartedness hides something meaningful: the quiet reminder that joy, imagination, & absurdity have always been part of human history.
