After years of keeping this convo in-group, I wrote about the unbearable anti-Blackness among brown folks, here and globally. That we’d rather kiss the ring of whiteness than be associated with Blackness has turned us into white supremacists in brown skin. https://t.co/iS3NtPByGI

@tyler_harper @theanandram Or if you've got elastic ear straps then perhaps you need an "ear saver" https://t.co/5A0FPoaj3C

@tyler_harper @theanandram Ha!
I've either sewn four straps on the corner of each mask so it can be tied snug, or threaded a strap through the side channels like the photo here, using fabric or elastic (that's then knotted to size). Helps the mask stay in place when it's not reliant on the ears, I find.

“After she gave up crocheting, Feldman sometimes made pieces for her family, typically with her usual disregard for convention. A sweater for her grandson was made with Velcro patches affixed to small crocheted stuffed animals to keep him entertained.”

“Sometimes, [Brunello Cucinelli] said, standing amid [...] hand-knit cabled sweaters that dipped off one shoulder, and could take [...] as long as 40 hours to make, you have to stick with first principles. Avoid ‘the fads and distractions of the moment’”
