This week’s Spin Cycle is about “language.” Unfortunately, due to extreme busyness here, while I’ve been formulating a post – The G Man has really started to talk – I have not had time to sit down and actually organize my thoughts.

It gets the most genuine laugh I have ever heard out of him THE MORALITY OF PETE Two things happened in the last few days that have me thinking about how I was going to tackle this week’s Spin Cycle, which is “morals.”.

AN UPDATE
Vienetta DK Weight
Isn’t that a lovely skein of yarn? I think so, but then again, I dyed it. The last year of my marriage I harbored the hope I’d be able to become an indie dyer, but after I left I moved into a house with a tiny kitchen – no room to work at all. I haven’t necessarily given up that dream, but considering the climate in the fiber arts community these days, I’m kind of glad I have a reason to wait until it hopefully calms down. The Ravelry situation hasn’t changed much. I removed the offensive content from my profile and sent an email informing them, but if they reinstate me it’ll still link to my blog and all these posts about why I’m so skeeved by their decision; I’m willing to bet that alone will keep my profile wiped. I’ve also decided to remain for a while not only to have ready access to what’s in my stash and pattern library, but now there’s a Libertarian board where a few people are discussing the change. Everyone seems to find it as distasteful as I do, so we’ll see if they try and shut us down. Technically we’re not in violation of their new TOS – probably the only reason I haven’t been completely banned from the site – but that doesn’t seem to matter; they don’t want ANY open dissent atall.
What I find so amusing about the far left is that they don’t seem to realize they’re partly responsible for the election of Trump. Over the last several years, they’ve become so strident about the rights of the marginalized, they’ve completely ignored and alienated the Democratic party’s largest group of those who _actually vote_: mature middle-class and blue collar workers. (Couple that with the shenanigans the DNC pulled to ensure Hillary’s nomination, then Hillary pretty much phoning in her campaign because no one – INCLUDING ME – seemed to be able to believe a Trump victory could actually happen and, well, there you go.) So now the far left wants to blame these voters for listening to a man who is telling them what they want to hear, labeling Trump supporters “white supremacists” – not because it’s true, but because it’s the worst thing the anti-Trump contingent can conceive. And they’re going to get himreelected.
Well, the pendulum will swing back – it always does. We had the Moral Majority in the 80s and 90s and now the SJWs; all these kids who think they’ll always be on top because they’ll always believe and think the way do now. I hope to live long enough to see at least some of these people grow up and undergo the changes age and experience brings to us all. It should be amusing, if nothing else. Oh, look – I seem to have become a political blog.*

Comments on An UpdateCENSORED!
This _was_ my Ravelry avatar. I’m not sure how it expresses open support for Donald Trump. “Only a portion of your profile is visible because it contained content or avatars in violation of our Community Guidelines or Termsof Use.”
That’s what appears on my Ravelry profile now, instead of the “No Censorship” avatar I’d made – all of my avatars, in fact, have been removed – or my protestation that they are blatantly censoring their members, as well as my disgust over their encouragement of users to rat out those who are in violation of the new Terms of Service so they can be banned; I didn’t even mention the wholesale closing of conservative forums, whether they’re complying or not. For an organization that made this bold move of banning open support of the POTUS in the name of protesting “white supremacy,” they’re using some pretty fascist tactics. Only my projects are left, and only because there is nothing there to which they (currently) object. But who knows? One day they may decide that scarves and beanies that look like bacon and eggs are objectionable because they exploit innocent animals, or Spiderman blankies are objectionable because male superheroes are an expression of white patriarchy, or Pac-Man socks are objectionable because video games are violent and sexist. If and when that should happen, I’llbe gone completely.
You might be laughing, but all of those are very real beliefs held by large groups of very real people and once you start banning/censoring things because you personally don’t like them, it becomes a slippery slope and the next thing you know you’re caving to any vocal, angry mob with an axe to grind and the very tolerance you THINK you’re fostering is completely lost. And there’s the not insignificant fact that Ravelry isn’t just banning open support for the POTUS, but ANY open dissent of their new policy. Period. Did I mention that anti-Trump/Republican/conservative rhetoric is still allowed on the site? Apparently “Fuck Trump” isn’t hate speech, but “Trump 2020” is. (Note: I’m not a Trump supporter; I didn’t vote for him and find him and his politics personallydistasteful.)
I’m not sure what I’m going to do yet – there’s part of me that really wants to continue to fight the good fight, and another that just wants to download what information Ravelry will allow and delete my account. I am very aware how the stress of this nonsense is adversely affecting my health – I have enough stress in my life that actually matters, thank you very much – and the idea of taking my info and tucking it away on Dropbox or a USB stick until someone develops a competitive site where I can move everything is extremely appealing. Because that’s the problem: the size and scope and functionality of Ravelry currently gives them a monopoly on fiber arts social media sites. Right now, there are no other sites where those who don’t want to do business with Ravelry can go, a fact they of which they are very aware. Oh, well…their site; their rules. I personally have never found the idea of living in an echo chamber appealing, but apparently somepeople prefer it.

Comments on Censored! WHY RAVELRY IS WRONGWell, hello there.
Yes, it’s been nearly two years since I’ve posted, but for now we’ll ignore that, along with the fact I have yet _another _red-headed grandchild and the more shocking announcement (at least for some of you) that I am now divorced – at least for this post. Perhaps I’ll blog about both of these things later, but right now I’d like to weigh in on something far removed from any personal news I may have to share. Unless you’ve been hiding under a rock for the last week, the news that Ravelry, a social media site for knitters/crocheters/spinners/weavers with reportedly over 8 million members worldwide, banned open support of Donald Trump last Sunday is not asurprise.
I’ve been fomenting this post for the last week, and have finally gotten my thoughts in some sort of reasonable order about why Ravelry’s ban of open support of Trump – which _is_ blatant censorship – is wrong. Well, aside from the fact it’s blatant censorship (for further clarification of my stance on why this is, you can visit my Ravelry profile here).
Relative to its size, Ravelry has a pretty small contingent of conservative members who seem to think Donald Trump is the best thing since sliced bread and feel building a wall to keep the faceless-yet-threatening “them” out of the country is perfectly acceptable. Conversely, it has a somewhat larger, if still small in terms of the size of its overall membership, group of liberal members who are pretty vocal in their opinion that the POTUS should be forced into a Cersei Lannister-type Walk of Shame through the streets of Washington D.C. before being tarred, feathered and run out of town ona rail.
But if the reactions I’ve seen in the comment sections of almost all but the most liberal or conservative opinion pieces to appear in the last week are anything to go by, the vast majority of the people who use Ravelry don’t really feel politics have much to do with their beloved fiber-related crafts and wish Ravelry had simply dealt with the disgusting incident that spurred their decision as the individual event it was, and continued with business as usual. Whether you personally agree with this majority or not, they are an important group and I’ll get back to them in a moment. First, though, let’s look at what Ravelry’s new policy has accomplished. They’ve certainly done what they set out to do: silenced all open support for Donald Trump on their website. Notice who else they’ve silenced? _The very people they purport tochampion._
Ravelry is so busy dealing with the backlash of their decision, both positive and negative, that business as usual has ground to a halt. Right before the ban, they had a brief announcement on their front page of a forthcoming blog post “about why it’s important that we recognize and celebrate Pride and talk about it here on Ravelry.” That post has not happened. Also notable in its absence are any new entries of the admirable “Humans of Ravelry” series which showcases BIPOC, LGBTQ and disabled fiber artists. In fact, the very beneficial dialogue that has been taking place on the site about the position these groups occupy in the fiber arts community has all but disappeared while people angrily choose sides or step back from the conversation alltogether.
As a result, positive exposure of BIPOC, LGBTQ and disabled fiber artists is not reaching the people mostly likely to hear and understand the intended message. Ravelry is NEVER going to influence much less change the minds of those entrenched Trump supporters they are so eager to condemn, but they could be very successful in raising awareness of these groups with the broader, more moderate population that make up the majority of their members. Now that isn’thappening.
Another group that has been adversely affected are those who do business with and through Ravelry, most notably small, independent designers, dyers and artisans. A quick look at industry-specific blogs and forums show complaints by these business people that their sales via Ravelry are rapidly declining – one crochet designer said that before the ban, she enjoyed anywhere between 5 and 25 sales of her patterns daily; since the ban, she hasn’t had any. The term “get woke, go broke” certainly seems to apply here, and it’s affecting people who have had absolutely no say in the new policy. I doubt Ravelry will change their stance – at this point I’m sure backing down would be viewed, at least by their most fervent supporters and detractors, as a sign of weakness, which is really a shame. Will they rebound from all the brouhaha? Most assuredly yes, although probably not as quickly and not as fully as the site’s owners might hope. In the meantime, the harmful unintended consequences of their actions abound, and all in the name of silencing a small demographic of their membership.*

MEET THE AMAZING TRIPLE B Hmm, yes, well, I know I promised a blog post, er, 4 months ago, but ummm…life and all that. One of the reasons I’ve been so busy since August 26, 2015 is thisguy:
Meet the _always_ Too Cool For School Triple B, the red-haired offspring of Darling Daughter.RED. HAIR.
27 months later and we’re still freaked out (and I’m not entirely sure why, since his father is of Scandinavian descent with many red-haired relatives). At any rate, especially when taking his blonde, blue-eyed cousin into consideration, this brown-eyed, brunette family spends a lot of time sitting around going, “Wow – wasn’t expecting THAT one.” Seriously – his mother is half Hispanic; we were totally expecting a dark-complected, black-haired Lothario. That’s okay, though, because both Darling Daughter and I are delighted with our little Ginger Dude, who is the strong, silent type – and who can, consequently, throw a ball farther and with better accuracy than hispoor old Meema.
To say nothing of out-running her. Anyhoo, I thought I’d pop in and give you the long-promised introduction to the World’s Most Adorable Two-Year-Old. And if you think I’m just too proud, you should hear his Uncle Oldest Son carryon about him.

THE G MAN – AN UPDATE Yes, yes, I’m still here. Just incredibly busy; it’s summer at the Sushi Bar which means lots of fresh produce from the garden which needs to be eaten or cooked or preserved – as of today, we’ve had zucchini and summer squash approximately 27 times in the last week. Which is quite a feat, considering we were in Cincinnati last Wednesday and Thursday to visit this guy: Remember that little guy with the dimples and the big blue eyes? He is now a month away from his 8th birthday – EIGHTH! BIRTHDAY! – and attempting to stab Meema’s out eyes using a set of chopsticks with corn kernels stuck on the tips.Oh, I kid.
He was just trying to shove them up my nose – Benihana seems to have that affect on 8-year-old boys.* Anyhoo, we were thrilled to see him; two years ago he moved to Michigan with his Mom, then last year they moved back to Texas. We’ve been down there several times to see him (among other people), but it has been about six months since the last time, so we were anxious to visit while he was in Ohio for summer vacation with hisdad.
In the fall he’ll be starting the 3rd grade – THIRD! GRADE! – where he is in the Talented and Gifted program in math and science, and little girls precede him everywhere, throwing rose petals in hispath.
Well, they OUGHT to. Stick around and in a few days I’ll introduce you to yet anotherheart breaker.
*(Actually, he loves his Meema because she is one of the few people over the age of 10 who can, and willingly does, intelligently discuss the merits of his video game du jour. And she does a mean cannonball into the hotel swimming pool. Not to toot my own horn or anything.)*
