And every white person needs to back them up. Silence makes us complicit

This is literally the most amazing protest sign I have ever seen. [Source: https://twitter.com/ShannonDowney/status/821926038687154176 ]

YES

Why Uzo Aduba wouldn’t change her name:

My family is from Nigeria, and my full name is Uzoamaka, which means “The road is good.” Quick lesson: My tribe is Igbo, and you name your kid something that tells your history and hopefully predicts your future. So anyway, in grade school, because my last name started with an A, I was the first in roll call, and nobody ever knew how to pronounce it. So I went home and asked my mother if I could be called Zoe. I remember she was cooking, and in her Nigerian accent she said, “Why?” I said, “Nobody can pronounce it.” Without missing a beat, she said, “If they can learn to say Tchaikovsky and Michelangelo and Dostoyevsky, they can learn to say Uzoamaka.”

They can learn

I’ve worked with many exchange programs on campuses, and they still “encourage” Chinese students to choose English names for their stay in the US. I’ve adopted a rule for myself, I won’t address them with their English name until they’ve told me to stop trying their real name on at least three different occasions. My family is largely immigrant, and while we’ve never had this problem, I don’t think anyone should have to change who they are when them find a new home, even a temporary one. So far, only two exchange student actually wanted to keep their English name, and one of them, Alice, had had Alice for a nickname since she was little.

Don’t know if it’s okay to add this here, but I used to work with a Chinese woman who had changed her name to Angelina for the sake of ease. When she first told me that was what she’d had to do, I asked her for her real name and if she minded me calling her that. She looked so frikkin happy, and it only took about two minutes for me to say it right. It’s not that people can’t pronounce these names, it’s that they won’t. It’s lazy and it’s rude.

It’s also RACIST.

Say ‘racist’.

They pronounce Tchaikovsky and Schwarzenegger just fine.

^THANK YOU. Babies of color,

MAKE THEM SAY YOUR FUCKING NAME. ALWAYS.

Free pattern: Neko Atsume #2

As promised, here is the second neko atsume pose pattern! You can find the first, a sitting pose, here. I made Shadow but feel free to adjust the colours to make any cat you’d like. :)

For this particular cat I used a 2.25 mm hook, sport/5 ply yarn, and 4.5 mm safety eyes.

Be sure to stuff very firmly! The number between the brackets after the instructions of every round is the total amount of stitches that will be in that round.

Head

1. 6 in a magic circle [6] This will be the top side of the head

2. ( inc ) x 6 [12]

3. ( sc, inc) x 6 [18]

4. ( 2 sc, inc) x 6 [24]

5. ( 3 sc, inc) x 6 [30]

6. ( 4 sc, inc) x 6 [36]

7-13. sc around [36]

14. ( 4 sc, dec) x 6 [30]  Place the safety eyes between row 10 and 11

15. ( 3 sc, dec) x 6 [24]  Embroider the snout now if you prefer to do it before stuffing

16. ( 2 sc, dec) x 6 [18]  Slowly start stuffing while crocheting along

17. ( sc, dec) x 6 [12]

18. ( dec ) x 6 [6]  Finish off and shut. Leave a long thread.

With some black thread, embroider the snout if you haven’t already.

Ear (x2)

1. 4 in a magic circle [4] This will be the top of the ear

2. ( sc, inc) x 2 [6]

3. ( inc ) x 6 [12] Finish off. Don’t stuff or shut. Leave a long thread.

Fold the ears into flat shapes. Sew the ears on top of the head. 

Front leg (x2)

1. 5 in a magic circle [5]

2. sc, inc, sc, inc, sc [7]

3-10. sc around  Finish off the first leg, but do not finish off the second leg!

When you’re finished with your second leg, don’t finish off. It’s time to merge the two legs into one piece that will be the beginning of the main body. 

Continue from your second leg and chain 5 sc. Continue from your chain and join it to the first leg, and sc around all 7 sc from the first leg. Make 5 sc over one side the chain you’ve just made and sc around all 7 sc from the second leg. Continue crocheting onto the chain and make 5 sc on the other side than the one you’ve just crocheted on. You now have a round of in total [24 sc] and you can continue to work in rounds.

Body (continue from the two joined legs)

1-5. sc around [24]  Start stuffing the legs

6. ( 7 sc, inc ) x 3 [27]

7. sc around [27]

8. ( 8 sc, inc) x 3 [30]

9-14. sc around [30]

15. ( 3 sc, dec) x 6 [24]

16. ( 2 sc, dec) x 6 [18]  Start stuffing

17. ( sc, dec) x 6 [12]

16. ( dec ) x 6 [6]  Finish off and shut. Work away your thread.

Sew the head onto the main body, just above the place where the two legs join into one.

Rear leg (x2)

1. 5 in a magic circle [5]

2. sc, inc, sc, inc, sc [7]

3-6. sc around [7] Finish off and stuff. Leave a long thread.

Tail

1. 5 in a magic circle [5]

2-12. sc around [5] Finish off and stuff if possible. Leave a long thread.

Sew the rear legs on the bottom of the body. Sew the tail at the back of the lower back. For some tips on making a tail that you can easily pose, check out the first pattern here. Also don’t forget to embroider his adorable tiny butt! Yay, you’re done!
