Straight up FASCISM.
The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

Oh dear, I think I may have just completed my magnum opus! This sweater is made primarily from my own hand-spun yarn and is entirely dyed with fungi; including Phaeolus schweinitzii, Hypomyces lactifluorum, Omphalotus olivascens, and lichen (sourced from the uber talented Jennie Bertone).

Finally got a decent purple from this year’s Omphalotus olivascens harvest (third try’s a charm)

What should I ply this with? Would a Phaeolus yellow or orange make for a nice contrast to bring out the purple or would it be more cohesive with another muted, earthy color?
