"Not long after I pressed 'post' in the subreddit r/knitting, I received an email. My post had been flagged, and moderators wanted to figure out how best to handle it. 'If we allow the post,' a moderator told me, they would have to schedule it for a time when they knew they’d be available to keep tabs on the conversation. 'Some of the comments may get heated,' the moderator warned me.⁠
⁠
My post was about a 10-year-old hat, known formally as the Pussyhat Project and colloquially as the 'pussyhat,' all one word. That term alone may be enough to sleeper-activate a number of readers who, for many reasons, have tried to put that era behind them. But this November marks 10 years since Donald Trump was first elected president, which means it’s been almost 10 years since the first Women’s March. The rhetoric of the initial march, held the day after Trump’s inauguration, was informed by Trump’s sexist comments and the threats he and his incoming administration had made regarding reproductive rights. It’s largely remembered, however, by a single, pink hat that never fit quite right. One that looms over craftivism—and feminism—to this day," writes Kate Lindsay, host of ICYMI, Slate's podcast about internet culture.⁠

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.⁠

Social media would be dry and unseasoned without Black creators 🤧 But Francesca is 100% right: all too often, they are not credited or paid what they’re worth.

I’m so thankful my work allows me to amplify Black creators and pay them what they deserve 🙏🏾

"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."⁠

WTF AI : AI Nerd QAnon

TLDR; This AI doom religion is a delusion and a distraction

The media machine is now fully engaged to push AI agendas, “Flooding the zone”, it’s impossible to keep up with the constant information. I’ll continue to poke at the foundation layer of this house of cards.

I’m old enough to remember this same debate for the Internet. The people who wanted a gated Internet had reasons and most of them were sincere. They were also wrong.

Access won, and everyone reading this is better off for it. Freedom of information is fundamental and worth fighting for. I see us right now unknowingly following some fanatics and being convinced to hand over our freedoms because “only they can protect us“. This is why I’m compelled to speak out.

What if they can’t protect us? What if there’s nothing to protect us from? What if their bogeyman is just part of a delusion? … and what if we gave up our freedoms for nothing at all.

Anyways. Appreciate everyone’s feedback 🙏🏼

Have a great weekend ☀️
