Finger Lakes Change Makers

“Her*story” is a wordplay on the English word “history.” The pronoun “his” (his/his) happens to be part of the word. If you replace that “his” with “hers,” you point out that historiography has traditionally told almost only the male perspective. So “herstory” is essentially a neologism meaning “women’s history.” In reality, historiography is not only very male‑dominated but also class‑biased (focused on a particular social class) and overwhelmingly white. Almost all people who were neither privileged nor male have been deliberately “forgotten“. Between HER and STORY you also find the gender asterisk (*), which signals that discrimination occurs in many overlapping ways (see, for example, intersectional feminism for further research).

I am preparing two new designs - #craftivism #iwd message hats and the knitting instructions will be released on Friday 6th!
“HER*STORY” or “For most of history, Anonymous was a woman,” a modified quote from Virginia Woolf – the reversible hat features both.

There were two small yet mighty groups out on an extra windy Wyoming spring day.

Ya gotta love the folks behind this series of gilt Trump statues that mock him mercilously and brilliantly.

#Statue of #DOEnald174 & #Epstein on #NationalMall posed as Jack & Rose from Titanic! bronze plaque reads: This monument honors the bond between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein, a friendship seemingly built on luxurious travel, raucous parties, and secret nude sketches.

#ArtsActivism is beautiful and powerful.

Happy #ValentinesDayResistance to all of the true patriots. You who cherish equality, equity, empathy.
You who honor the Constitution & the Rule of Law.
You who are the helpers.

Thank you for always pushing forward.

Artists of all disciplines are a terrifying lot to monarchies and authoritarian regimes.

Good. We have work to do.

I see your remembrance helmet, Vladyslav #Heraskevych.

It is a form of artistic expression to honor other #Ukrainian athletes that have been killed by the marauders.

That helmet now belongs in a museum of #democracy.

Thank you for choosing to remember in this way.

Arundhati Roy quits Berlin film festival over ‘stay out of politics’ comment Author says she is ‘disgusted’ by claim from jury president Wim Wenders that film-makers should remain apolitical

“'To hear them say that art should not be political is jaw-dropping. It is a way of shutting down a conversation about a crime against humanity even as it unfolds before us in real time, when artists, writers and filmmakers should be doing everything in their power to stop it.'”

Bullies do not like what they cannot control ... and they cannot control our imaginations.

This tribute video hits like a punch to the chest. 💔
It mourns “Pretti & Good” as lives lost to state violence and turns grief into art, names into a message, and silence into a scream. It’s furious, tender, and honest as hell. And yeah- it should make you uncomfortable.

Wandering the island of Sciathos, Greece in the evening. The amazing stone work is evident in the winding path and the buildings that line it.

The most potent weapon in the hands of the oppressor is the mind of the oppressed. — Steve Biko

Hand-knit beanie shown from the back, featuring bold blue-and-cream stranded colorwork. The word “ABOLISH ICE” is knit in large block letters across the center, framed by horizontal bands. Vertical blue-and-cream striping fills the crown and lower edge, with a neatly finished ribbed brim. The hat is photographed indoors, resting on someone’s knees, highlighting the texture of the stitches and the clarity of the colorwork lettering.

A pair of hand-knit mittens laid flat side by side on a light wood floor. The mittens feature blue-green and cream stranded colorwork, with a large hand giving the middle finger in a cool ice looking color across the backs of the hands. The palms are knit in a dense, textured pattern, and the cuffs have vertical striped ribbing for a snug fit. The crisp colorwork and even stitches highlight careful craftsmanship and intentional protest knitting.
