These are instruments of battle; if you ever get blasted in the face by a dozen of them from 8 feet away for half an hour because you’re on the front row for your valedictorian brother’s college graduation, you’ll be well reminded of it. I salute this dude πŸ‘‡

Put on some ridiculous reality tv on in the background, bust out some edibles, and I’m THERE.

Wine moms and knitters are getting shit done like women so often do: quietly in the background, making shit happen where men don’t typically see it, or necessarily value it - and they’re not demanding credit or spotlight.

They’re not just day-drinking and knitting. They’re organizing.

Buttons and stickers and hats advertise who you’re friendly toward, who you’d rather avoid, and who you might approach in a pinch. This β€œsilly shit” normalizes the presence of open dissent, and invites curious normies to ask questions or join in.

Still a little mad about this. Dismissing craftivists (who are mostly women) as cringey bandwagoneers is bullshit. Not everyone is Extremely Online; communities form in person, too: PTA meetings, book club, grocery store, gas pump, daycare pickup, pharmacy, dog park, ice rink, stadium, etc etc etc
And they aren't all crowing about it on social media, so let's not assume that all the people in hats and buttons passing out whistles are doing nothing else. People - "wine moms," "knitters," who else do you think has ready access to breast milk? - are working behind the scenes for good.
A detail I don't want to get lost in this: So far, Bri and her network have helped more than 500 families with grocery deliveries and more than 300 with diapers and wipes. In just two months.

Helpers seeking help! πŸ‘‡

Or the sneaky devils running secret grocery rings to feed hungry kids who can’t safely go to school! bsky.app/profile/lizz...
Bless all the helpers, but especially the teachers. School has been so critical to feeding kids for so long and the attendance impact of the occupation only compounds the crisis. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/09/d...

Yup. Maybe it’s a shame, but it’s definitely karma.
