Knit One, Hurl Too
We all know Twitter and Facebook have been censoring conservative accounts and groups for several years; Google has banned a number of conservative channels from YouTube and the leftist TDS spread to RPG.net last October, but now to a knitting group?
We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry. We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. More details: https://t.co/hEyu9LjqXa

What's next? Notice there are no white kitties on this home page!
And I was thinking of taking up knitting, darn it. <- see what I did there? I was called a crochet-ety old b*stard the other day and wanted to play the part to the hilt. Seriously, this trend has me on pins and needles! A-hem. OK, I'll button it. (can you see the pattern of my puns? Simplicity!)
My ex used to get into all that, the sewing and knitting and embroidery. She thought she was pretty good at it and applied for a job at the local garment factory, but they did not hire her, saying she was at best a mediocre seamstress.
They didn't actually say THAT, only that she could just sew so so.
I can spin a good yarn, huh? (and don't tell me you're a frayed knot)
I guess I'll end this silly post that started out seriously. I'm running out of material.
I'm glad we conservatives are all cut from the same cloth. I just hope this post gets a lot of comments, make it a long thread.
