I put something on Substack. substack.com/@juliafarwel...

It would take a two-word amendment to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 to subject ICE agents and other federal law enforcement officers to the same liability for constitutional violations that local and state officers currently face.

If Congress actually cared about what it's seeing, it could pass that overnight.

Sunday afternoon Visibility Brigade in Concord MA.

70 intrepid, angry, noble souls braved the cold and icy walk to send their message.

We usually only have a handful of folks.

You can do it too. It’s SO worth it. 🗽🇺🇸

Record turnout in Concord MA today for our #visibilitybrigade message: No War in Our Name.

They have tv’s in prison too.

Good luck, smooth sailing ❣️

every AI summary for my searches is just a scrape of the Wikipedia page which – as it happens – is. right. there. on the same result page. Frak off.

I like Trublican myself, sounds like trouble.

Well, I was wrong there. Thank you for the correction

Today’s @visibilitybrigade.bsky.social message in Concord MA

It’s easy to see through the ruse. Ask anyone with a maple leaf flag to name four provinces.

Honestly folks.

The bluster & bullying & “how dare they say that?,” & silencing, & censoring?

It’s weakness x 10.

If you’re really strong, jokes don’t matter.

Only if you’re banking on fear to give you power do jokes matter.

That’s why authoritarians HATE being poked fun at.

No fear=no power.

This is so messed up.

Cancelled the Disney/Hulu subscription, and we won’t be watching local affiliate @wcvb5.bsky.social until @jimmykimmel.com is back.

Route 2 Rush-hour Resistance Stand-out: Concord MA - 9/11 - 4-6pm.

If we can do it…
You can do it 🗽🇺🇸

it’s a shit show today, loves. Find some beauty in your world where you can and fill your cup.

Fellow knitting folks, especially those of us who teach and publish: if a new-to-you event wants to hire you to teach or speak, please remember that it is up to you to ask before signing what their policy is for inclusion, both for students and fellow teachers.

Someone should tell #senmurkowski this is how the guy she’s protecting thinks about her constituents

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

I like both, but it took awhile. I started on a spindle but borrowing a friend’s wheel really clicked for me. I came back to spindles after I was a devoted wheel spinner for years. So I totally give you permission to do what you like: I think your gut knows

Polychromal? Huetastic? Rainbowific?

And yes, this is a cross post. I don’t know how many people are here who left Instagram. But this is over there as well.

I would really invite you to listen and to let them lead the conversation going forward

not to bully them when they speak out
not to block them when they ask you to listen
to be available
and understanding
and compassionate 4/3

to open our doors and our hearts and our ears to members of our community who identify as autistic and neurodivergent because our community especially is a place where they have found community and a sense of safety (until now)3/3+

there is a lot of ugliness in the world around neurodivergence and autism and some of that is very much relevant to what is going on in the knitting community right now and I would use my platform to ask that those of us in the knitting community especially 2/3

I want to speak to something that feels really important right now
I have been in the on-line knitting community for a long time and I have been a part of and learned from a number of conversations and I think that there is a very important conversation that is Happening and needs to happen 1/3

Day 83 of typing out posts and immediately deleting them.
