I’m a mom, a wife, a knitter, a producer, a homemaker, an avid tea drinker, and I have MS. I blog and I make videos on YouTube.

@BitchyKnitter Why is it always so all or nothing with these people? Like, no school out there is like “you know what? Cancel all reading. We’re discussing social justice!” Like... how do you not understand that?

@KnitsDee @FranklinHabit Especially any that may be dealing with “long covid” or complications from the virus that they caught working.

Unsurprisingly, the ravelry situation is still a mess.

@LouiseTilbrook1 I’ve worked for several small businesses. They’ve all taken money any way they can. (Cash, check, money order, bank transfer, PayPal, Venmo) this really makes no sense.

TODAY'S DEBATE: How much praise should women get for not grabbing men's penises at work?

Meet Aryana and Tom. Aryana is a composer. Tom is a male composer*.

*Please note the men's version is more expensive because the standard version has to be specially adapted to fit the male body.

Happy International Women’s Day! Tell your female colleagues what your salary is. 🙂

@Velociraptoria_ I did not have the mental space to handle the census and then thought I hadn’t done it. Turns out my partner took care of it. It was nice that I didn’t have to fill it out or even get it added to the list of all the things I’m doing at the moment.

this is the "fa" we were "anti", by the way

@PlanetofFinks Being mad that an independent bookstore would do something unethical is great, but the big chains like Amazon/B&N etc. definitely have unethical practices, and we know about them and ignore them. It’s not fair to hold them to a standard you wouldn’t hold big brands.

During the Irish potato famine settler owned farms in Ireland continued to sell potatoes overseas. They managed to build wealth while the people around them starved.

That's what's happening during this pandemic. The problem isn't the virus. The problem is capitalism.

@Sarah_Dawns Did they get an accessibility expert? Or are they still expecting the community to do so the work?

[WhimsicalMrsWinter @WinterWhimsy]

@LouiseTilbrook1 My dish detergent was always Palmolive because that’s what my yiayia used. Now I’m relying on blue dawn because Palmolive changed their scent. It was a sad day when I thought I found the original but it was green apple instead 😭I miss the more chemical smell.

nobody know what my tongue do in the mask

[WhimsicalMrsWinter @WinterWhimsy]

@bridgealidget @TupeloHoney72 @BitchyKnitter Yikes on that response. Totally get why you’d avoid.

[WhimsicalMrsWinter @WinterWhimsy]

@FranklinHabit You don’t want “the savage Viking’s love muffin” in plain sight because you’re going to be reading it aloud on the call though, right?

I don’t think there’s a purer, more distilled form of evil than anti-homeless architecture. Imagine spending this much money to prevent people without homes from getting sleep.

[WhimsicalMrsWinter @WinterWhimsy]

@mamofcocktails @ravelry I’ve project managed two, much smaller sites and have almost no experience and I’m aware the resources exist. I fully expect someone who is running a site that large to know they exist and use them.

[WhimsicalMrsWinter @WinterWhimsy]

Tonight, I deleted my @ravelry account. I truly believe the handling of the accessibility issues has shown me your true colors. What kind of community are you building if you are actively hurting, gaslighting, and excluding people in the process? Not a community I’ll be part of.
