Crochet tonight, felt like I was being baited by conservative leaning Kathleen in the group but I was too tired to fight tonight
LiberBEARian
I walk in and she’s telling Janice an anecdote about how some guy yelled Black Lives Matter at a kid who was a cashier and how she told the kid that it wasn’t his fault, it was the government’s for not putting a stop to that
LiberBEARian
I sit down and she goes “plus I’m Irish so I know what I’m talking about. The Irish were the first people to be discriminated against in this country”
Jaq
PFFT
LiberBEARian
And I went, totally innocent, “really? The first?”
ᴏᴋᴀʀᴜɴ 👾
uhm.... native....americans........
Themme Fatale
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Themme Fatale
Fuck sorry
LiberBEARian
“Wel yeah if you look at the “Irish need not apply”
Themme Fatale
"Really? The first?"
LiberBEARian
“Huh. For some reason I can think of a few older examples.”
Themme Fatale
that's very very funny and I enjoy it.
ᴏᴋᴀʀᴜɴ 👾
LiberBEARian
“Oh well, you know what I mean”
ᴏᴋᴀʀᴜɴ 👾
no, i don't think i do
LiberBEARian
And then Janice changed the subject before I got on her case
ѕαѕѕу νυℓνα
boo janice
Jaq
If they were going that route they could have said the first group to be legally recognized as people by the constitution. But I don't think they're that clever or well meaning
LiberBEARian
Jaq
: I was thinking that but I couldn’t phrase it eloquently in the moment
Jaq
because native americans first and african slaves brought by the atlantic trade come well before that
Jaq
take me to your crochet circles. I know how to....make a single chain. In crochet.
Jaq
that should be enough to get me in the door and fight people
ѕαѕѕу νυℓνα
I can't even identify crochet...sticks (needles? are they called needles?) but I want to fight people
Jaq
hooks in crochet
Jaq
you just use one.
ѕαѕѕу νυℓνα
wow I definitely do not know SHIT about crochet
Jaq
knitting kinda steals the show
batsquatch
"wow I didn't know you were alive back then, what was it like to live through abolition and the War of 1812?"
LiberBEARian
Jaq

Megan
I can do a single chain too, let's team up against kathleen
Megan
I can sort of do a second row but it gets kind of wonky
Megan
(if I'm lucky)
LiberBEARian
I'm teaching a class on Saturday at the maker's studio about how to crochet flowers so let's go
𝔽𝕊𝕆𝕋𝕌𝕊𝕊𝕐
Allison. Allison invite me to your crochet group sometime I'll come armed with my best "oh you ridiculous white lady have some facts" smile.
LiberBEARian
hahahaha
LiberBEARian
totally
LiberBEARian
Janice is a hard moderate and Sara doesn't engage at all but I have felt like they look at me like I'm a liberal nutcase coming for Kathleen's guns
LiberBEARian
Deciding whether to sit on my shit or fight and stir the pot is a weekly endeavor
𝔽𝕊𝕆𝕋𝕌𝕊𝕊𝕐
always fun. that's my situation with my brother's in-laws.
LiberBEARian
I get the feeling Kathleen riles me for fun and I take the bait but at the same time some of the shit she says is messed up and I don't want anyone to think I'm complicit by being silent
spooky queer
as an irish person i disown her
spooky queer
can i do that
LiberBEARian
sure why not I disowned ben shapiro
spooky queer
XDDDD
spooky queer
bye kathleen
spooky queer
also to everyone who is like "well blah blah the irish" re: racism i know there are some pieces on this that go into better detail but it was way more a class/religion issue than a race issue
spooky queer
like it's not the same thing at all
LiberBEARian
hooking up with leftists aw yeah
LiberBEARian
speaking of I had mentioned to this group that I wouldn't be in town next week because I was going up to my family friend's place in Vermont to be part of a burning x party
LiberBEARian
and was explaining what itwas and who this person was and I used the words, "and she's kind of a hippie person, very into nature, mother earth, etc."
LiberBEARian
kathleen goes "welll you know that's not REALLY what the hippies were about. They were all just potheads"
LiberBEARian
"okay but it wasn't exactly all they were about-"
LiberBEARian
"allison I LIVED in the 60s, I KNOW."
LiberBEARian
fucking christ lady
spooky queer
><
spooky queer
can you just press a mute button on her
LiberBEARian
i wish
spooky queer
just while she’s talking “sorry kathleen you’re on mute i can’t hear you” “but we’re not even online”
