Sent you a message. I’m unsure how to add pics at the moment so here are 2 accessible pics for now but I can send more detailed ones later. :)

I do! May I message you here shortly? I know it’s late so if you don’t receive ton, feel free to get back to me tom. My grandma had a sealed container of untouched fabrics including some originally purchased for saris but I don’t have time to sell locally to so I figured win/win w/this route. :)

I make vintage vanity & trinket trays with personal mcm & eclectic artwork as well as abstract sports team art. Have approximately 100 designs in this category from previous commissions but would like to clear it out. ;)

Kavi (Kavita) @brittexkavi.bsky.social · 18h

I’ll post pics on here when I’m off work as well. I’m in the process of selling vintage fabric, artwork & collectables from all over the world including parts of Africa, Europe, & India from my grandmothers estate, & at some point may post some personal work for cheap since it does well as gifts.

Hive Mind help.

Are there any crafters or seamstresses that could use some higher end & assorted vintage fabric?

I’m behind financially but have a 2 boxes of beautiful, embroidered silk from India + several others. New condition & will sell cheap so it’s mutually beneficial. Can DM pics.

Ugh. I’ve been trying not to let my anger consume me but the fucking harm that’s come from decades of apathy is something I still struggle with. I’m truly sorry you & your friends are going through this. It’s a lot & none of it is okay. 💔

I carry the following: DL. Passport. Copies of my 1996 naturalization certificate, my marriage license, & my name change docs. My (white) husband has a tracker on my car & is shared into my location via cell but my rights being illegally violated is now a matter of luck. There is no SAFE.

Kavi (Kavita) @brittexkavi.bsky.social · 1d

Oh no! I’m so sorry! I truly hope things work out to where they’re both okay.

My (white) husband has been really worried about me despite citizenship. Especially now w/the adopted woman who was accused of carrying a fake passport. B/c it’s not about legality but race. It’s so infuriating.

My transfer experience extra sucked b/c the white male Dr I saw had made absolutely no attempt to understand how differences in culture might tie in w/trauma and/or affect day to day life. Nor did he understand how our present state might be anxiety inducing for a brown woman. 🙄

My long term Psych left his practice recently & my new Dr was AWFUL. Had my 1st appt elsewhere w/an Asian Am woman today & the diff were NIGHT & DAY in cultural compatibility.

Finding someone who gets my upbringing, generational trauma, & anxiety in our current climate is so incredibly helpful.

Boston Globe. 10/12. Mother said she was called to pick her son up. Waited about 1.5 hrs & was then informed that ICE took him. Of the 2 sides, I’m more apt to believe the mom which would mean she was likely waiting when her son was taken. WTF.

The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick up her son from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview.

Clipped from Boston Globe. 10/12. Definitely not clear on their side. I wonder why that is exactly.

There have been SO MANY lies, many of which have been clearly proven false w/in 24 hrs via witness video footage. I’ve been taking all statements to most likely be lies unless proven otherwise & proof would have to be pretty undeniable since they’re as incapable as they are dishonest.

“Career criminal” accusation based on an LSD charge @ age 19.

One of my closest girlfriends was charged w/intent to distribute mushrooms when she was 18. Tiny little girl who looked 3 yrs younger @ the time. Instead of college, she was sentenced for a felony which has followed her ever since.

The deportation order derives from the crime of which he has now been exonerated.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

I once watched a guy rear end another car while he was catcalling myself & a girl friend. Felt pretty instantly karmic. For him, not the person he rear ended.

“This was no longer a safe scene, and in that moment, I realized that the scene had not actually been safe the entire time that they were blocking us from exiting, and that we were essentially trapped.”

“I was still in such shock,” the driver later wrote “that they were not only accusing me of such a thing, but crowding and cornering me in the seat, pointing and screaming at me, threatening to shoot and arrest me, and not allowing the ambulance to leave the scene. This was no longer a safe scene, and in that moment, I realized that the scene had not actually been safe the entire time that they were blocking us from exiting, and that we were essentially trapped.”

Fed agents stood in front of the vehicle, blocking departure. Ambulance Operator placed it in park “causing it to lurch slightly forward.” Instantly surrounded, an agent threatened to shoot & arrest him. Asked “Why?” the agent responded “the driver had attempted to hit him w/the ambulance.”

Documents Allege a Federal Agent at Portland ICE Threatened to Shoot an Ambulance Driver

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

on at night/sleep deprivation. Website advertises an outdoor facility despite TX heat. On site “school” is 1 hr/day & a total farce.

A complaint has been submitted to Fed Court “objecting to the long stays of children in a prison like env.”

In it’s own court filing, ICE said detainees have access to filtered water, dietitian-approved meals and snacks that include child-friendly options, and “robust” medical and mental health care.

“ICE ensures the safety, care, and well-being of alien children in its custody,” the record filed Sept. 8 reads.

In respect to kids, their monstrosity is almost unfathomable.

Recent piece via Scripps News w/findings from ICE docs:

600+ migrant kids held in July. 300+ held past 20 day max, 1 for 89 days. Deprived adequate healthcare, hygiene products, & water gives them stomach aches. Bunk lights (cont.)

ICE is detaining children with their families beyond limit set by federal judge

Immigration authorities are detaining hundreds of children for longer than the 20 days allowed by a federal judge, a Scripps News investigation has learned.

This. The monstrosity of dehumanization & that same dehumanization utilized as justification for what they believe is permissible non accountability despite their agents abduction of a child.

It really upset me which is why I messaged him to check on his mental health at the time.

If it helps at all, he was one of the earliest invite only accounts & b/c this community was tiny for ages, I believe someone would have said something if he needed help. He stopped posting reg after a wave of direct trolling followed a post (based on available info at the time) was proven false.
