I watch all your YouTube videos, and I like your knit triangle scarves. I looked on Ravelry for a pattern, but didn't see one like yours. Would you be willing to share the pattern source? My husband and I are big fans of your work. Thanks, Angela! I so appreciate you.

The richest people on the planet control all Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence controls all the algorithms that controls how 80% of people think and believe. Am I the only one that thinks ‘We Are So Fucked’?

Kimmel wasn’t fired for his remarks on Kirk—he was fired for using his platform to expose and critique our government. Enough! We especially need large corporations, with the money and influence they have, to fight back. sign.moveon.org/petitions/ki...

I would love to be part of the conversation on MSNBC related to the Kimmel story and it's chilling effects on first amendment, but unfortunately I was terminated by MSNBC for stating that "hateful thoughts lead to hateful words which lead to hateful actions".

The Trump administration is planning to destroy 550 tons of emergency food relief intended for children in impoverished and war-torn regions. The food assistance that was part of the now-defunct USAID program is set to be incinerated on Thursday.

#BlackSky if you want to locate some of your ancestors who survived the slave trade, there is a site where you can look up your ancestors. Go to enslaved.org and type in your ancestors names from the 1800's and 1900's. I already found two of my family members and who trafficked them as well.

Compton, CA: A masked, heavily-armed man wearing body armor jumped out of a SUV today to kidnap a local resident. He forgot to put the vehicle in park, causing it to roll down the street damaging other cars. He jumped in the vehicle (which had no platess) and drove off without identifying himself.
