Goodness! I had no idea you were behind the cleansing of Ravelry, nor what had prompted it. I was so pleased when that happened. Thank you!
Your story resonates so incredibly strongly with me. And since I seem to have completely lost my ability to concentrate long enough to read regular books, this book club sounds perfect for me. I doubt you need a source for more books, but I wondered if you're aware of the Festival of Literary Diversity (FOLD) in Canada, and the wonderful Jael Richardson. She also has a children's version.
Oh gosh, I wouldn’t say I was behind it, certainly not alone. But, I lifted up the voice of my preview knitter and friend (who enduring horrific trolling) and rallied folks to apply consistent and loud pressure on Ravelry. It was many many voices, and Ravelry made the bold decision to deplatform all discussion of what we now call Trumpism. We didn’t ask for it, and regardless of what Ravelry has done since, or why they made this policy at the time, I will always be proud of them and of us. But most of all, proud of the quiet person in front who said, no more.
Your letter today resonates so strongly with me. I look forward to joining the Book Club for I share your values and approach. This is an excellent way for us to grow together in understanding and mutual support. Thank you, Anne!
Thank you for your information and your work. This is the type of group I’ve been looking for!

I must learn how to do audio books 📚 then I can knit and read ! 🧶📚🧶📚
I highly recommend audiobooks + knitting for the perfect cozy afternoon!
