@rosieatlarge If an LYS in the US wanted to stock it, do you have any idea which distributor they could go through? (One in the UK would be fine, too! I don't really know how book distribution works from the other side.)

Are you using 'the arts' - read participatory textile making(!) - in your research and/or activism to promote social justice? See current CFP for special issue of Global Public Health https://t.co/2vQdtDrWxe

Instead I got a bunch of immediate responses thanking us for this and our willingness to get political in general.

As small retailers we really do get to choose our customers, and our customers are the BEST. 😭😭😭

I just sent out an email update to our Cast-on Club subscribers saying that we’ve always shipped USPS and will keep doing it despite potential delays because the post office needs our support now more than ever.

People can be impatient abt shipping so I was expecting pushback.

When I told her we couldn’t see any back end account information on someone else’s website, she ended the conversation by saying “then why am I even talking to you???”

Good question, anonymous person. If you’re out there, I hope you got it sorted out.

Tonight I’m thinking of the anonymous person who was messaging us on our store page the other day, frustrated because she couldn’t make a purchase on someone else’s site (and not seeming to realize that wasn’t the page she was on.)

I hope she’s having a good evening.

This has been such a hard week. The hardest week.

@RachyNewin I just accidentally liked the original tweet while trying to like yours. Brb, showering.

This is why we will continue to support @ravelry (and ask them to do better when they fall short).

[Hunter knits tiny nonsense @HunterHammersen]

Heads up, the #yarnroom folks want to make super sure nazis feel welcome there.

So, you know, keep that in mind if you're trying to decide whether to buy or sell anything through them.

But for me, that makes them a hard no. Nope. No thanks. Not gonna happen.

[Scratch 🏳️‍🌈🧶✨ @scratchsupplyco]

@craftivista Extremely yes.

[Scratch 🏳️‍🌈🧶✨ @scratchsupplyco]

Cut the crusts off, thanks.

[Scratch 🏳️‍🌈🧶✨ @scratchsupplyco]

But what if we USED our twitter account though?
