    I deleted a comment I wish I could un-delete because I’m not sure deleting it was the right thing to do. The comment said “oof, had to turn off when you supported a TURF”
    I want it known that I fully support and love the trans community. The damage done by JK Rowling is real and has hurt people in a very real way. I am upset that a film series that has brought comfort to so many has been tainted with hate. I support those who want to boycott it. The films mean enough to me and I support the actors that have spoken out against hate. Because of that, I also support those who watch the films because I can’t deny the love and comfort they have provided to many in times when they really needed it.
    I really want to make sure that any trans viewers know that they are seen, heard, and loved ❤

      I am the same. The fandom knew she was problematic from the beginning and took it from her and made it our own. So many fics out there write through the problematic stuff in it and its actually a fun way to discuss the issues in the books while still allowing ourselves to love characters that helped us through tough times. Like Harry potter helped me through really hard times in my life and Anne Rice's Vampire chronicles literally kept me alive as a teenager. Like Lestat saved me. She is another author that was super problematic too. Though I do believe that she did allow herself to listen and grow from it. Anyway ADHD rant over. I support you and also all of my trans and non binary chosen family.

      Thanks for acknowledging the comment even though you deleted it. As a trans autistic person who had HP as a special interest for a good chunk of their life, I understand why people still engage with it. I did too, for awhile.
      The thing that made me withdraw from the fandom entirely was someone pointing out that it’s hard to separate art from the artist when the artist is actively using the money they get from the art to fund hate groups that are doing significant damage. Yes, HP always had problematic elements, and we still enjoyed it despite those, but the damage is on another level now. I am aware that JKR has enough money and clout that not giving her more might not make any tangible difference, but the joy is completely ruined for me now.
      I’m not saying this to guilt people into agreeing with me, you’re absolutely free to think your own thoughts and make your own decisions. I’m saying this because I was grateful to the person who wrote the comment that I read for giving me this perspective.

    The fish came out so cute, your sister will love it!! I also giggled at “I’m an engineer, I can figure this out” because I say that to myself all the time like if I can do Laplace transforms, I can figure out how to cable without a cable needle haha!

    I made a fish keyring for my boyfriends dad for Christmas. I only started crocheting last week, so am following videos as don't fully understand patterns. I deveates from the video aa didn't understand the pattern they displayed, but it turned put really good! I also added fins, so relieved!
    Love your koi fish! He looked super cute with the mouth open, koi are gulpy fish, they spend all damn day with their mouth open haha. I'm sure your sister will love it!

    This video was really enjoyable, I loved it! The kind of chaotic energy (in a good way!) when you put on the eyes made me laugh out loud.😅 And the fish came out really great in the end, bumps and all! Also, your cats are hilarious, always climbing around on you and not being bothered by Koi fins and yarn all up in their face.

    Ok I had to come tell you.... I so relate to your personality!! Or vibe as the younger ones say. I've watched 3 videos... way out of order.... but its however YT decides to do continual play. But I've enjoyed all three immensely, I could totally sit with you and chill with some yarn. And I'm twice your age at least. But you're a delight to hang out with. Just wanted you to know.... enjoy your day!

    Fin names!
    Dorsal fin - fin along the back! You got that one
    Pectoral fins - "arm fins"
    Anal - the rear fin on the underside of a fish
    Pelvic fin - front fin on the underside of a fish
    Caudal fin - the tail fin!
    Also super appreciate your comment addressing JKR and the issue with supporting her. I am very much enjoying your cat be a wee beastie while you're trying to work on things. One of my cats, Meatball, is the same way. As soon as I pick up a project, he heads over to bother me.

My boyfriend is video chatting me right now and I was like "She's so cute!! YOU GET THAT KOI FINISHED. and then you said By Golly and he was like. Is she from the 50's? teasingly and I was like ITS SUPER CUTE I'm following and supporting her! XD. I'm absolutely crazy about Koi so may very well have to make myself one of these its super adorable! I've given up on big projects and now powering through fingerless gloves for the rest of my gifts lol. I get Gallbladder surgery in 2 days and need to get my Christmas gifts all finished and Gift giving IS my love language lol. Stuffed to the gills *rolf*. My boyfriend throws around dry dad jokes all the time just for me to give him a plain unimpressed look before I finally crack and groan and laugh. He loves my reaction XD. My hairless cat Lady Godiva ALWAYS has to be around me when im crocheting.
