A mod actually responded to my Lemmy comment. So apparently the subreddit isn’t affiliated with this community here on Lemmy. But they do have something they are working on and are sharing this link https://witchesvspatriarchy.com/waitlist/
Do with that what you will. I am personally joining ALL of the options where the Reddit WvP might be moving and seeing which one feels the closest to home in the end. But my comment is remaining up on the subreddit so at least a few people will see it and can choose to check it out.
Makes a lot of sense. As the other commenter suggested I think I’ll work myself through the different stitches this project is tagged with one at a time. Might even find some with a lower difficulty on ravelry that I can get excited about while I’m on my way to learning enough to tackle this. Thanks!
Oooh, thank you. It’s also my first time on ravelry and I hadn’t noticed that it’s tagged with the stitch types. Makes a lot of sense to work through those first one after the other. Picking a challenging project I can get really excited about as my first project is usually something I have a surprising amount of success with with crafting, but I suspect this one is just too far out of reach for now. I’ll find some lower hanging fruit to get excited about to get me closer to knowing all the stitches required. Thanks again.
It doesn’t help that Tesla are also screwing over the people who buy them. I have heard so many horror stories of what happens when something in your Tesla breaks. Most of it sounds like purchasing a Tesla doesn’t mean that Tesla thinks you actually own that car. Lookup “Tesla right to repair” for just a taste of the mess.
Sadly a lot if not most of these changes will take generations to reverse. It’s the sad reality of things.
The main good thing I am taking from the news currently is that as far as I can tell the people won’t accept this for very long. Can’t quite yet tell how or what will happen, but I’d be surprised if the current regime are still in power in the same way 1-2 years from now. The protest are amping up at an intense speed, the videos coming out of the few republicans still giving town halls feel like the crowd is a pot about to boil over.
Sounds exactly like my experience going through the shadowbanned comments. I understood a few of them (like my recent comments suggesting Lemmy). But others were exactly like what you described. They were comments I spent an hour mulling over at times to get them just right with the right nuance and resources. So sorry that this was happening to you too.
Btw, for anyone mistrusting this tool, logging out and viewing things as public or from an incognito browser window should show the shadow banned comments as “removed”. Obviously difficult to do for large scales, but that’s why there’s a tool I guess.
Makes sense. This is doing decades of damage. Plenty of past groundbreaking research came out of the US. But I get it. I wouldn’t want to move to the US either for very much the same reasons. Lack of affordable healthcare, lack of paid holidays and gun safety would be the main reasons. Lack of food regulation would also be a concern. And now the current regime and the way too large chunk of the population that still seems happy with it means we put even tourist travel plans to the US on hold. Too scary at the moment. Trying to help the best I can from here, but there’s only so much you can do at a distance.
