The most precious commodity you have is your attention. You don’t have to waste it on poor-faith debates or arguments with strangers if you don’t think they’ll be productive. You can prioritize the things that matter to you and make your life richer.

Epic Games sent a DMCA notice to my online stores for my geology-themed design involving a crossed pickaxe and rock hammer that said "PICKS...or it didn't happen" because they asserted that Epic owned all rights to artwork/mention of pickaxes, right before an SVP annual conference. Eric cost me $$$

I'm there and can attest that this is one of the kindest and most welcoming groups around! If you've ever wanted to give machine embroidery a try, give Karen at Silver Seams a shout :)
The embroidery Discord has, I am happy to report, gotten enough members to sustain regular conversation. There's also a plushie-maker Discord, with member overlap..
I'm not sure I want to post an invite to either in the open, but I'll send the link(s) to pretty much anyone who asks (just DM me).

As the vibe here curdles a bit, I'd just like to point out that I am a member of a machine embroidery Discord that seems well-moderated but that has never really achieved critical mass and if you promise not to be a digitization-spammer I will happily send you an invite.

I am teaching a class of beginning sewists and I can only imagine how it feels for them jumping into this new hobby/life skill in an era where they can't just run to Joann to get their notions and fabrics.

SCOOP --> Trump's State Department quietly terminated a contract that was in the process of transferring evidence of Russian abductions of Ukrainian kids to European law enforcement, two sources familiar with the situation tell me.

Trump Admin Nixed Contract Helping Kidnapped Ukrainian Kids: Sources
The fate of abducted Ukrainian children is a white-hot issue for peace negotiations—and it looks like the State Department may have just undercut the cause.
