oy vey. so much crappage going on. fucking covid and omicron and the glayvin.
There's been a brewhaha in the fiber arts community, much needed, about recognizing POC creators and designers. Lots of ugliness comes out, of course. My brother posted some info on ppl who were guests on a knitting podcast that is run by rightwing wingnuts and he called the hosts white supremacists (one of them goes by deplorable knitter or something and the podcasts is politically incorrect knitting). Well one or more people called in some big big uglies to attack him and report him to IG. The post was removed, for what, I have no idea, as it was literally only a list of people who had indeed been guests on the podcasts. Then the attacks came and one particularly awful person posted a pic of my brother, named him, and accused him of wishing the man was raped, which of course never happened. My brother has now blocked over 3000 IG accounts in less than a day.
