A person is talking about their crochet pet peeves in a post (not on Mastodon.)

They mentioned crochet hooks that have seams.

My general rule is: if it looks uncomfortable, it is.
If it's a plastic hook with a huge seam on it or sharp bits... it will likely hurt. Ditto for knitting needles.

If you're new to knitting/crochet, try a friend's needles or hooks. Go to a local yarn store, they might have tester hooks.
Michaels & Joanns will not.

Welcome to #TransTuesday!

This is part 1 of a 2-part series that are some of the most important Trans Tuesdays ever.

Cis friends, I need you to READ, SHARE, and TALK ABOUT IT.

Here comes TRANS POLITICS 1: STOP TOLERATING TRANSPHOBIA.

Let's talk the paradox of tolerance, how tolerance is a peace treaty, and how bigotry can't be defeated until there are CONSEQUENCES FOR IT.
