We’ve gotten over 12 hrs of nonstop rain today, and my rain gauge is full. The whole of Kansas City on both side of the state line is under flash flood warnings as is about a dozen counties thru the state. This shit is unreal. We had torrential rains last weekend as well that culminated in several emergency rescues on…

Usually he’s shirtless (like ALL the damn time), but sometimes he mixes it up and dons a striped preppy rugby shirt and loses the pants and swings free. They’ve lived across the way for almost 2 years now. It’s our favorite pastime to watch them and try to figure out who they are. My husband is giving it another few…

That headphones idea is a good one for later. Right now we’re finishing up potty training and not wiping his own butt is apparently the hill he’ll die on. 3 times today already I’ve had to wrestle him to the ground to wipe poop. I’m genuinely confused about what the hell he’s even pooping since all he eats is chicken…

I’ve been working on a very traditional quilt this summer—it’s a farm-warming present for my mother in law who got to return to farm life after 40 years in town. :D She’s very happy to have a reason to ride a tractor again. :D

This sounds magical. Please, FC, tell me more about the pantsless man.

No, stupid people need to be called out on their bullshit at any opportunity. Sometimes those stupid people are white, sometimes those stupid people are black, sometimes they’re Asian or Native American.

Today has been all about my Stormy Seas blanket! I finished connecting the bottom and, as of this pic, had 96 hexagons to go.

They are not, no. It’s true that they have lighter pigmentation, but Serbs are no more white than Arabs are.

I thought that was hyperbole. Are people really undergoing said cryogenic “treatment?” Wouldn’t they die? I’m so confused.

You are reaching. These artists aren’t anti-black, they are anti the censorship of another artist’s work.

Heyyyy Jezzies - Craft Thread!

oh, agreed...i definitely didn’t mean that in any type of pejorative way, and if so, clearly not towards cartoons.

There are some incredibly famous artists who are not at all white on that list, so you might want to brush up on your who’s who in the art world.

A lot of the people in the list are white, yes. Of course, of the three artists named in the headline, one of them is a white American, one is a Serb, and one is black.

What’s new is white people not knuckling under to the SJW activists. All too often PoC try to shut down a debate by labeling a white person ‘racist.’

It’s definitely “a bit much” considering the damn painting at the center of the controversy isn’t even going to be, and for that matter never was going to be, on display at this show.

GOOD. Don’t censor art. Although I’m sure our Orange Overlord would give a fat-fisted thumbs up for the effort.

I hope he remembered to wear brown.

Seriously, I think Life Is Beautiful is in poor taste and shouldn’t have been made by a goy, but I wouldn’t call to have all reels burnt and protest to shut down a local showing of it and get DVDs taken off of the shelves. You shouldn’t bar access/destroy a source. That’s when it becomes censorship.

If you don’t want to view a particular work of art, no one is forcing you to see it. Just don’t force me to not see it.
