Some yarn eye-candy for you! My very first customer snuck into my Etsy shop before I announced its opening (I still haven't announced it) but she ordered this gorgeous colorway. #RepublicOfYarnia

Pretty eh? Feel free to stop by & see what's available https://www.etsy.com/shop/...

Thought I'd share here too bc it may inspire more folks to get involved. I managed to do another love-wrap for a scholar/friend who I admire and wanted to wrap up in love. This is what #antiracistcrafting means to me. Anyway look at this love-wrap!

Summer of 1917, a white mob, in East St. Louis, Illinois, attacked the homes of black citizens, setting fire to them and in some cases burning families alive in their own homes. Estimated 500 plus Black Americans were killed (not 100 as paper stated) , 6000 moved to Missouri.

Lol rw ppl on Twitter reported my tweet in response to someone who said that they'd even hate Jesus for being too "woke." Apparently we can't say that he would be crucified.

Sending solidarity and support to Dr.
@AmyTanMD right now who has been viciously attacked and misrepresented in a newspaper. Misrepresenting facts & twisting the truth to put targets on the backs of medical experts advocating for safety for all during the pandemic is irresponsible & dangerous.

This is gorgeous. I featured Yasuke, the Black Samurai (c. 1579) last year in my #BlackHistoryMonth thread.

During the Sengoku period, a Black African man arrived in Japan & served/trained under a powerful lord named Oda Nobunaga. He may have been from what is now Mozambique, Sudan, or Ethiopia.

Echoing this. Accomplices who stand against anti-Semitism pls be vigilant today. Neo-Nazis should not be welcome anywhere.

Standing with the Jewish community today. May you stay safe and strong. Solidarity.
Ty$ Ross @cooltxchick
Shabbat Shalom dear friends. I stand in solidarity with the Jewish community today, and every day. As reports of neo-Nazis planned ‘Day of Hate,’ garners nationwide attention, stay safe, stay strong, and know that you are not alone. ✡️

Nina Simone would have been 90 this week.
Her music moves me. Shakes me. Sees me.
I’d love to hear your favorite Nina songs.

In the mid-1960s Vernon Jordan, the head of the Urban League asked Nina why she wasn’t ‘more active in civil rights’.

I'm not giving up on this space yet. I'm just disappointed with how things devolved. Whatever critiques however valid have been drowned out by anti-Black attacks. It's incredibly disgusting that there are vicious rumors abt Bouzy that are reminiscent of Carolyn Bryant's tactics.

For those who don’t know, I’m one of the first two women to go on the record with my real name about sexual harassment from Alex Kozinski, the former Chief Judge of the Ninth Circuit.

It’s not just the romance—I think a lot about the ways we *need* to talk to have hard but necessary discussions.

"In 1938, 17 brass and copper heads and the upper half of a brass figure (dated to the 14th-15th century CE) were found by accident during house building works at Ife in Nigeria. The realism and sophisticated craftsmanship of the objects challenged Western conceptions of African art."
