It’s more than disappointing to see people mocking the red knit hats.

1. The symbol was strong enough the Nazis banned them to stop people signaling their resistance to each other.
2. Sales of patterns have raised hundreds of thousands for mutual aid.
3. Not everyone can stand, shout, smuggle.

Hey, Portland Knitters!!

There is a huge Knit-In on Mar 8 in DC hosted by my friend @knittingcultlady.bsky.social. I am not able to go, and would love to put together a satellite event here in PDX.

Is anything in the works already? Can folks connect me to Knitters Against Fascism?

Hey y'all, one of our cars has been out for weeks, between getting both of us to work, getting our kiddo to school, etc, having just one car has been very difficult. I've taken a lot of financial hits the past few weeks & I need help.

Weird folk online: Greek mythology was full of beautiful white people. When adapted it needs to be cast only with beautiful white people!!! This is OUR heritage!!!

Actual Greek mythology: Just... like... SO much incest.

I've definitely overdone the stars here! 😂 So gonna tweak that a bit.

But this is supposed to be a fun drawing not a super-serious one. So I'm mostly gonna scan it and not be too fussy.

Hey dolls!

Can you help me?🧵1/6

This is difficult for me to share.

In 2020 my mum died, one of the hardest decisions I made at the time was pawning some of the jewellery she left me.

Simply to help with costs of her funeral!

MPs feeling hard done by because of their huge salaries just because they spend all their time chatting to people with even bigger salaries isn't reason to pay them more, it's reason to inflict cruel medieval torturous deaths on any MPs who spend more time with millionaires than their constituents

I know the people who run this. It is a tiny organisation but has taken some massive stands. Was the first Pride in the UK to ban politicians and is always the first out with strong statements supporting trans people.

I know things are tight but please help support them if you can.

Penzance Library is on this list, and what that actually means is that every Cornwall Council run library has access to it, because they share books. So it's not 58 libraries.

Penzance shares with 15 other libraries, including my local one, Helston Library.

I'm not thrilled about this.

I like those gnarled, bioluminescent light switches that sometimes grow on the walls. You never know exactly what they're going to turn on or off. Flip the switch, and sometimes a sock will disappear. Sometimes a tunnel will materialize in the dryer. Sometimes the moon will open a gaping maw.

This by @deathbybadger.bsky.social is great and the best part is, okay, Pratchetty Footnote Humor aside the actual plot is super grim, but the VILLAIN is this amazing Varrick-esque "shows up in every episode with a different get-rich-quick scheme" elven con artist and she's fantastic and I love her.
