Have you seen this video of the contestant that went out in the first episode? It's so weird to me that they didn't show what actually happened. I feel like anyone who has ever tried to knit would have felt his stress. So odd to just make up stuff instead.

Then maybe this is a US vs the rest of the world thing? Because I have not seen that here, and clearly people in the UK are describing it's not normal for them either.

Disability Visibility at Teen Vogue was such an important way to raise awareness of the disabled experience.

Alice’s column was heartfelt, vulnerable, honest and represented our community so well.

Gutted (yet not surprised) to hear the Teen Vogue cuts impacted it too.

Which people? The people I know who knit even very casually would not confuse fair isle for stranded colourwork.

I also think you don't understand what 'cultural appropriation' is. Calling all stranded colourwork fair isle is wrong and dismissive of other cultures techniques and styles.

The show is not in the US though, and they consulted experts in fair isle then pulled this on them. At the very least it's rude as fuck and they're allowed to be pissed.

And it's really frustrating when you've seen this shit before and know it ends with a heap of people new to it taking on ambitious projects with the wrong information.

And to be fair, it's online craft groups who will be swamped by these frustrated disappointed people who are being set up to fail.

I don't think it's anything about gate keeping.

I think their frustration was new people being introduced to knitting not getting all the info they deserve. Particularly when the producers consulted experts about this technique and then they were really rude and dismissive about it on screen.

Omg I cannot. I want so badly to believe that.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

In honor of the upcoming #WomenInPhysics Day, let's create a thread of amazing women physicists. I'll start with one my favorites, Chien-Shiung Wu, who is best known for conducting the Wu experiment, which proved that parity is not conserved. βš›οΈ πŸ§ͺ πŸ‘©β€πŸ”¬ 🎒

Lol. I was about to be impressed they got a group like that involved in the show. But nope. I swear it's like they're determined to upset everyone who has ever even attempted to knit before.

Hey. Fat people also deserve food. Fat people using snap benefits deserve to eat guiltfree. Going without will not make them instantly skinny, and in some cases, like those with diabetes, not eating on a set schedule can exacerbate health problems. Being fat does not equal laziness or weak morality.

. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social dropped in on many online microfandoms to conquer the fragmented media problem, including a personal favorite of mine, the streamer who walks around New York making beats for strangers to freestyle to @ariathome.bsky.social

Two of the most significant politics editors in Teen Vogue’s history were working class trans people from Ohio and Philly, and their tireless, fearless work is a huge part of why so many people are mourning its demise now. @satansjacuzzi.bsky.social and @leximcmenamin.com you will always be famous

Zauberballs are so beautiful but give me so much stress. I try to choose patterns from Ravelry that other people have used them for but still the tension or something is always off.
