Happy Black History Month! Here's my list of assorted Black History facts that I find myself thinking about all the time.

I'm thinking about creating a new daily thread this year with powerful quotes from Black leaders and innovators. We'll see if I have the energy.
Back on the old short-form social media site, I had a thread of 28 facts I liked to share during Black History Month, one for every day. The topic is still important to me so I'll start re-writing them here and hope they find a new audience.

It's February! Happy Black History Month!

My goal for the month of February is to make one sale a week. Merch, handmade things, just one sale a week.

If you're interested in supporting my crochet or hand knit art and want something either handmade by me or with any of my merch, here's my shop <3

Tomorrow is my 3 year anniversary on YouTube.

I went from 0 - 2700 subscribers in that time, with most of them within the past year.

I am sitting at 919,243 views. THAT'S ALMOST ONE FUCKING MILLION VIEWS. WHAT IN THE WORLD.

All that to say, thank you. (continued)

I was updating a few things in OBS and one of my sweet mods decided *then* was the best time to remind me I forgot to turn off my channel points when I ended stream..... I just about peed my pants when Catbug started screaming in my ears 😂

I've been struggling to focus the past few weeks, and I was 99% sure it was because I ran out of my ADHD medication.

And that was partially true, probably. But I think, after being back on it for long enough, that it's a lot more than ADHD...

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Just in case you need a knitting project today, I found a pretty good one.

I like donuts, but donuts are political because you can't eat donuts when the donut shop is also now the scene of a brutal murder BECAUSE ICE KILLED SOMEONE AGAIN.

When @dizzydesigns.bsky.social agreed to take on my emotes & character art & stream scenes, I knew it was gonna be good, but come on 😍😍😍🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻😘😘😘🥹🥹🥹

(Also, paying real artists to design and make art because it’s their dream (& you should want to support that) is was cooler than AI - just saying.)

Reminder, that while this page is a cozy crochet, knitting, bookish page - fiber arts and reading are SO political and you can't do either if ICE murders you.

Going to the Kraken game tonight for Pride night, and also because my favorite player in hockey is going to be playing tonight, and maybe I made him friendship bracelets, and I am wearing his original jersey to the game instead of Kraken gear..... I feel like a traitor, but also Tarasenko = bae <3

Also if you won something from stream, or have an order in on my shop, those are shipping out on the 6th when I get back from my trip! I just didn't want them to get lost with the holiday mail before I left and couldn't track it like it was my job <3

Last stream of 2025 will start today at 2:30 pm pacific <3 We will be working on a rainbow dinosaur and finishing my temperature blanket!!!! <3

I may have only sold two things on my shop this year, but I sold $123.50 worth of patterns on Ravelry (my highest year ever) and I am taking that as my win this year.

I hit my follower goal for the year on twitch tonight and I'm not crying you are.

Y'all. @dizzydesigns.bsky.social are doing my stream branding, an avatar, and more of my emotes (including animated ones!) and I can't even begin to explain how stoked I am with these drafts.

I can't wait to share it all with you <3
