Well I don’t but Lisa does.
Lisa is also the only person in the world who has ever convinced me I should take up knitting. I’ll get there one day….
These amazing pieces have been made for the 5th Anniversary and they are so so gorgeous.
I would just love to own a jersey aka sweater like that!
While I’m on the topic of Lisa’s stuff I was gonna post about this one the other day but never got to it. This was the tribute knit dress for the Obama campaign
Now THAT makes politics sexy eh?
I reckon it’s time I had a little rant about the primaries ’cause I’ve had a number of people ask me recently what I reckon. I don’t really care who wins the Democrat race (don’t care about the elephants). And I think the whole conversation about what’s more important the first black guy or first white chick is absolute trash. As far as I’m concerned, they may as well be white men ’cause they’re not acting ANY DIFFERENT.
I have never been a fan of equality. I am a fan of liberation. As a feminist I have no desire to be free to be like a man, I want to be free to be a woman. And I assume if I was African American I would have a similar sentiment. Hilary and Obama don’t offer any reform to the fundamental system which oppresses women and people of colour. Quite the opposite if you ask me.
I thoroughly recommend you read this piece from the Indigenest Intelligence Review on the Obama ‘promise’. It is well written and gives brilliant historical context. And it makes me ask the questions about what either candidate is offering to the indigenous people of North America? Do either of them acknowledge that the ‘great’ nation of the United States of America is built on stolen land and fuelled by genocide?
Obama, whom one would expect to have some level of sympathy at least has a campaign tshirt that looks like this
these were part of a series that featured other such moments of genius as “Ghettobama” “Frobama”, “Showbama” and “Unabama”.
This tshirt has demonstrated such a high level of ignorance and disrespect. The Navajo people do not wear headdresses and those people who do only do so in ceremony. So this is insanely offensive. And compounding this is of course is Obama’s complete lack of policy in relation to indigenous people.
If I was American I wouldn’t be very inclined to participate in a presidential election. Despite attempting to be the global voice of freedom, the US has one of the least democratic electoral systems in the world. Electoral reform is a far more worthy campaign to invest energy in, if you’re into voting that is. But if I was gonna vote, it would definitely go to Cynthia. The only true pro peace candidate.

Shame on me, I have never heard of that Cynthia… ?
She used to be a Democratic Congresswoman from Georgia. Got her seat stolen in 2002 b/c of the same voting machine-based election fraud used to defeat Max Cleland.
