Ten years ago, America almost had its first female president. Instead, Donald Trump’s surprise victory went on to alter the country's entire political landscape. It’s exactly what the people behind the Pussyhat Project feared. And yet, the pink knitted hat that took over the first of many Women’s Marches has gone on to become the opposite of the feminist symbol it was intended to be. Now, it’s a relic of white feminism, enacted at the expense of trans women and women of color. On today’s episode of @icymi_pod, host Kate Lindsay is joined by Anjali and Alison, the hosts of the Two Women Yelling About Knitting podcast (@twyakpod), ahead of the Pussyhat’s ten-year anniversary to discuss what went wrong and what digital craftivism should look like.⁠

"Knitting is supposed to be relaxing," writes Kate Lindsay, host of @icymi_pod, Slate's podcast about internet culture. "This is what I tell myself when a dropped stitch ends up partially unraveling two weeks’ worth of a sweater, or the time I had to chase my cat around my apartment to pull a string of yarn he had ingested out of his butt. Why shouldn’t it be? Depending on where you look, the hobby is the hallmark of the kind, old woman gently passing the time in the background of the coffee shop, or the full-time job of a beautiful young Scandinavian woman on Instagram, or simply the person who, when you ask where they got their sweater, coyly responds, 'Thanks, I made it.'⁠
⁠
I’m obsessed with them all, both as a model for my future self and also the person I’d like to be right now—effortless, serene, perfect. But spend enough time online and you’ll realize that the facade of cozy nights in and days quietly posing for photos lit by never-ceasing natural light is just that. Make no mistake: These women are monsters, and they will fucking destroy you."⁠

This "I Love Yarn Day," we're kicking off an exciting yarn series at @Slate—and yes, I (@kathrynfiona) did almost run over Andrew Garfield in the name of journalism. Come with me as I brave the New York City Yarn Crawl and break down how politics and culture intersects with yarn much more than you may think. ⁠Follow along for more in the coming days!⁠

What happens when a community conversation ends up online? ICYMI host Kate Lindsay (@kathrynfiona) talks with Slate writer Christina Cauterucci (@c_cauterucci) about the Western Massachusetts dive bar and their one “mask-optional” day that ignited an internet meltdown and blew up the conversation—so much so that eventually even the alt-right got involved.⁠
