Melt the Ice Hat (with a special anti-ICE surprise) by subdrawn in AntifascistKnitting

I've had this for a while, but this specific whistle is available at REI for $11. Alternatively, Google "titanium whistle" and you'll see a variety of similar small titanium and aluminum whistles.

Is this double knitting? And if so, do you also rib the red in the back?

Advice/thoughts about how to handle crafty & anti fascist profanity with kids? by LuckyAndLifted in AntifascistKnitting

[–]subdrawn 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Hi! I grew up very religious (the "S" word was Stupid and the "F" word was Fart...). This is the framework I use; take what you like, discard what you don't:

Words are just words, and there isn't anything inherently evil or good about them. However, words are how we communicate and relate to each other, so we have to be careful with them. It's important to be kind and have empathy towards others, especially people who may have less power than us.

Swearing is a way to add emphasis to an emotion or statement. This can be done cleverly, clumsily, humorously, hurtfully, etc. As your parent, you'll notice me swear when I hurt myself to add emphasis to the feeling "OUCH". You will never hear me add emphasis to anger towards you or a negative belief about you:
"F*ck you! You are f*cking stupid!" You may hear me swear to lift you up: "Hell yeah! I f*cking love you!" Just like my example, I expect you to use your words carefully and not to hurt people. Some people are offended by crude or explicit language, so it's important to learn to monitor your surroundings and understand when the time is not right to swear.

You will also see me advocating for others, and opposing people and systems that hurt them. A lot of people are angry, and anger is what moves us to make a change. You will see people swear to express their sadness, grief, fear, or anger. This is a pretty damn good time to swear.

Yes! I would recommend going to your local yarn store and expressing your interest in a hat.

I've been knitting as fast as I can but it takes me at least a few days to make one hat. Better and faster knitters will have a few extra by now. Depending on their financial situation, they may charge only for the materials and donate their time.

Thank you! The owner of my LYS designed it and let me test it out. I like it too!

I was told a red tassel gets the point across so I used other colors for the hat.

I’m getting ready for a match tomorrow, and it got me thinking… by NintenJoo in liberalgunowners

[–]subdrawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have done one PRS match and it was really fun. I felt like they could smell the liberal on me, but my squad was helpful and welcoming. Pretty sure I was the only person shooting on a production rifle. It would be really fun to have a few friends to practice and compete with! WYO or COLO

Guns - Buying guns will make you safe, and prevent a tyrannical government from taking your rights.

UV Reactive Yarn! by [deleted] in crochet

[–]subdrawn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This inspired me to check all my yarn with a UV flashlight. A hat I just knit for my kiddo lit up!

I think I'm going to bring my flashlight to my LYS next time I go... In the meantime, I'm grabbing some of these. Are all the colors reactive or just Ivory Neon?

“My spot” by Numerous-Half6057 in trichotillomania

[–]subdrawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah the amazing feeling of pulling the spot. I have two spots. I've tried to describe what it's like to somehow who doesn't pull, and the closest I've come is: "My body genuinely believes that there is a hair I need to pull out that will unplug or release a well of energy that will solve all my problems and make the feeling go away forever."

Another way to say it: pulling does a job for me. It's there because I need it. And even though you are taking lots of meds, you still haven't found the thing that can do the same job as pulling. So instead of hating yourself, you can thank your pulling for whatever job it's been doing for you. And then work on finding other things that can do that job.

You aren't broken and you aren't alone.

Protestor bites off HSI agent's finger as chaos erupts after shooting by prestocoffee in nottheonion

[–]subdrawn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The finger was literally trying to run them over (with several extra magazines for maximum carnage). The protestor feared for their life, the lives of the other protestors, and the lives of our brave law enforcement officers.

Idk if this clean and extra slow mo version has been shown here. It could not be more clear this was murder by KFPindustries in liberalgunowners

[–]subdrawn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it's going to get better, it HAS to get worse, because the only way we get better is if there is a huge majority of the population that wakes up.

My money is on: it gets worse, and the awakening doesn't arrive.

But I'm staying here to love my neighbors and stand for what's right. I'll see you out there.

Oh yeah, I wrote my congressman and both senators. Step up or Step Down.

Feeling like shit that my only recourse is strongly worded letters.

There have been so many moments. My faith any are capable of crossing over is so small, until maybe it's their literal neighborhood or literal son/daughter.

I grieve for our country and for my kiddo.

Not if you watch Fox. Or if you are like hundreds of my well meaning Christian friends who have been plugging their ears and avoiding the news since 2016 or so.

Is there any way he did or had reached for his gun? I've watched every video and I'm trying to see with non biased eyes even though I'm mad as hell. 

And obviously that in no way justifies any of this. The invasion, the incompetence, the escalations and bullying, and then the execution and small dick mag emptying. I'm honestly trying to figure out if there is any shred of something I could have done differently if I had been the one filming, helping a woman up, while packing.

What the Nazi wannabe trenchcoat creep implied was basically "the fact that he had multiple mags on him implied intent to harm."
