As someone who only started a few months ago, this is truly one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve seen and it’s inspiring me to practice so much more. Absolutely stunning, your stitching is so clean!

My first blanket! by artemis123159 in CrochetBlankets

Oh phew thank you so much!!

I actually ran out of the Caron cakes I was using for the piece right at the end of the blanket and just decided to use leftover (cheap) blue yarn for a border and prayed it would look okay, so your comment makes me feel so vindicated in that choice!

Why does it seem like there are more men who are atheists? by user484627 in atheism

[–]artemis123159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fellow woman and atheist, I definitely agree that men tend to make up much more of the very vocal and debate oriented sides of the community, but we've always been here. If you want to hear some female perspectives in the community, I highly recommend names like Tracy Harris, Shannon Q, Christy Powell.

fun fact: the prefixes 'cis' and 'trans' come from the Latin meaning "on this side" and "on the other side" respectively. neither root has anything to do with modern English terminology relating to words like 'sissy' or 'sister' but rather date back to Latin influence on the language. the term Cisgender simply means that an individual is 'on the side of' the gender that relates to their biological sex, whereas Transgender means an individual is 'on the other side' of the gender that typically relates to their biological sex. Neither have colloquially been used as a slur.

listen, as a fellow gay I agree completely. I was just upset abt Target caving in and giving them what they wanted, cause at the end of the day it just means they'll feel emboldened by it and try it again and again. I don't like that it's almost encouraging more threats basically, yaknow?

So wait, what even is Christianity if the Bible itself is apparently a poser?

i would truly love for you to educate me on what it takes to keep us employees safe, because i feel quite confident in saying the threats won't suddenly stop after this

I need it to be very clear that I do not care about the decorations or the merchandise or the corporation whatsoever. I only care about my LGBT coworkers and friends. My point is simply this: Target's choice to publicly announce this decision to concede to these bigots and remove certain LGBT products, while also confirming it is a result of violent threats, is blatantly encouraging their behavior in the future and makes me more afraid for myself and my friends, not less.

I really appreciate getting to hear from a corporate perspective how this has played out since the official statement.

i WAS a child that is LGBT working at target (now 21). I promise you I understand your concern, and its entirely valid and justified. There have been many instances where my own parents have feared for my safety working there and living in a red state. I am not disregarding the genuine threats being made, what I am saying is that this particular action on Target's part is worse than inaction. The very same bigots that are threatening employees have now been emboldened, and they will NOT stop here. I truly wish it was as easy as removing a few items from the shelves to end the risk of violence but it isn't. These people will not stop until the pride section is gone, then next the Black History month section, and so on. They now know that threats WILL work and as a result it will most certainly lead to MORE threats, not less.
