This, my fellow Lizards, is STUNNING.
Ravelry is trending this morning on Twitter. And I was like, “why is a site dedicated to everything knitting, crocheting, weaving, spinning trending this morning? Is it a misspelling or some rap artist latched on to the word?” Why nope, it REALLY IS about Ravelry:
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

Yet another reason to admire @ravelry and their way of looking at things. Some may view this as suppressing free speech - I view it as a way to prevent spreading hate speech and evil. pic.twitter.com/ZDKVJSKkQV

It should be noted that Ravelry is a privately held company.
I’d given up knitting, crocheting, weaving and spinning to concentrate on embroidery in this season of my life but wow…maybe I need to go there and look around.
