Fuck fuck fuck.
For those of you that do not know there is a active political rift in the online knitting community with some truly vile people on the right: vocal anti-trans, racist hateful people. My brother has been targeted by a couple before. One of the worst of them has had his own online stalker from the left, someone digging around and posting personal info on him and whatnot. The stalker posted using my brother’s location, so now the hateful bigot has gone full aggro on my brother. Semi-doxed him and has included a pic of me identifying me as the sister. FFS. This is all small stuff as it’s just the knitting community, but still.
For the few of you that might see any of this, please do not acknowledge or comment. Report if you like. We are going with an ignore plan. No feeding energy creatures or bigots.
Ugggh, msbelle! How awful. I'm only on the fringes of the knitting world, but I do sometimes see your brother randomly so I'm glad to know your, uh, policy for handling this stuff. Ick.
Fuck that, msbelle. And fuck them.
I’m so sorry, msbelle. That’s awful.
Hospice thinks Papa may die today and I’m sitting home alone and don’t know what to do with myself.
Sending loving and comforting ~ma your way, sj.
I'm sorry, msbelle. How is bro handling it?
Brother is just IGNORE! And I’m like attack attack, but not attacking. I want to hire hackers to identify the actual stalker (which may actually be the troll bigot himself) and then pressure IG to ban him and all his sock puppet accounts.
Oh sj I am so sorry. Be gentle with yourself, there is nothing you should or need to do.
TCG is coming home to work because I really can’t be alone right now. It’s always sudden. I want to say goodbye to him one more time.
