Unforgettable

So this isn’t my normal S.W.’s content.

I’ve been working on this for a college final, and thought I would share it. 

(Note from the Author: If you’d like a little atmosphere while reading… play the original “Unforgettable” by Nat King Cole. It might replay once or twice, but I don’t think Rose would mind hearing it. :) )

A cast iron skillet with pork chops sizzled over the wafting heat of the stovetop. The worn silver handle sat turned away from the edge of the old Glenwood. It was a long ago formed habit after that same skillet had ended up in the floor, smattering gravy and fried potatoes to the floor. The pockets in her apron wouldn’t cause any problems tonight. Next to the pork chops sat a towering stock pot full of cubed potatoes, rumbling under a cloud of steam that poured over the sides of the cookware. Rose dropped her wooden spoon down into the pot, stirring just long enough to make sure nothing was sticking. She hummed a little tune as she went along, tending to the collard greens and bacon grease, letting the shaky sound of her voice carry her through the dinner preparations.

At one point she might’ve swayed to the King’s voice, loving the smooth piano and gently dancing around the kitchen with light feet. Maybe giggling at how silly it was for a young woman to be dancing in the kitchen. Labors of love had Rose’s wrists swollen and fingers crooked, detailing just how many nights she’d spent toiling away to soft sounds of music in the kitchen. Only now, she  did well to lift the cast iron skillet onto the stove without making an awful racket when the weight became too much. Rose preferred to hum now, occasionally deepening her voice to sing a few words along with Mr. Cole. Her ankles protested the constant standing and so would her babies if they had seen her fussing over such a trivial thing as dinner on a Thursday night.

No doubt her daughter-in-laws would offer to mash the potatoes for her, or politely bargain with Rose to tend to the cornbread once it was done in the oven. With a wrinkled smile she would decline, knowing just how much longer the cornbread needed without a timer and that you needed to add buttermilk before thinkin’ about reaching for that wood-handled potato masher hanging on the wall. Bless them girls, they always offered to help but dinner never turned out quite right if Rose wasn’t the one “doin’ the fixin’”. Donnie Jr. didn’t like it when the collards weren’t greasy enough, and Billy always liked the potatoes a little lumpy. But tonight, only three pork chops simmered in the skillet.

It had become one of her newer habits -only about twenty years old now- where she cooked a little differently than she had before. No longer did she have to catch children running around her feet, or take a moment to step away from the Glenwood to tie a shoelace or button up a jacket. It was in the last twenty years Rose hadn’t bothered with buying the fattier cuts of pork opting for the new green-packaged medallions, always reading ‘low fat’ or ‘heart healthy’. The smaller portions and ‘grass fed’ options weren’t the only things that had changed for Rose. Now she needed a pair of glasses to see just a bit better to stir in a little more salt and pepper to the greens. Even the once-white paint on her stove had tinged a bit yellow despite umpteen tries at scrubbing away the aged tone on the iron.

In a different time she would’ve worn a pretty dress and a little heel as she cooked; Maybe going far enough to wear some of that light pink Avon lipstick she used to love. Of course she couldn’t really remember the last time she’d seen one of the order booklets on the church’s greeting table. All those trivial things had fallen to the wayside over time. Rose looked down at her feet, bare and blending in with the gnarled and knotted floor below her. A bright smile spread over her face at the sight. Her mother would’ve had a fit if she could see Rose cooking without shoes on. Even worse than being barefoot in the kitchen Rose neglected to wear a dress as well, preferring some corduroy pants and a sweatshirt with buttons sewn to the front in the shape of a heart. A Christmas present from many years back, given to her by Billy’s wife as newlyweds. Rose didn’t mind the thought of her own mother’s disapproval of her style, rather choosing to reminisce on that sweet Christmas so long ago and how much she treasured the button-embroidered shirt from her sweet daughter-in-law.

With shuffling feet Rose moved away from her place at the stove to set the dinner table. She pulled at the silverware drawer, making sure to gently guide it a little to the right so that it wouldn’t stick or make that awful squeaky noise. In the back of her mind, she momentarily reminded herself to pick up some beeswax and grease the darn thing instead of putting it off any longer. Billy had used some type of spray last month, promising that it would be better than her tried-and-true beeswax. But here Rose stood, listening to the sharp queak of the drawer pulling dryly across it’s wooden rails. Her shaky hands searched for the two best forks in the mess of mismatched cutlery, making sure that tonight the table would look its best with identical forks and knives. She wanted to celebrate the best way she knew how. After deciding on a set, she tucked them in the pocket of her apron. Just above her head in the cabinet above, Rose collected plates, little dessert dishes and salad bowls, stacking them in her hands with another precious memory playing out to that same sweet song she’d been humming all afternoon.

The table setting, milky white with small pink flowers painted along the rim of the dishes had been a wedding gift. Darling in their time -and still timeless in her opinion- as Rose set to work setting the table in the dining room. Again to her mother’s disapproval, she skipped adding a tablecloth before sitting the dishes and cutlery down in their respectful places. A table so well-used deserved to be seen, instead of being hidden under some plain white cloth. Little scratches in the varnished wood had once caused quite a fuss at dinner time; A dropped steak knife, or the unpracticed hands of a child dropping their fork onto the unprotected surface. Now, Rose could look at them with tenderness and a wisdom for the blemishes that life imprinted on everyone and everything. Seeing years of love and togetherness in the scuffed and scratched surface, just like in the growth rings of the planed wood that had been collected to make the table. The old thing was beautiful in its own unique way, and Rose couldn’t help but feel the same way about herself.

That internal clock ticking in her mind reminded her of the cornbread in the Glenwood, and additionally the pork chops that would no doubt be done by the time she added that buttermilk to the potatoes. Just as she’d already known, the cornbread came out the same as it always did… but not quite as good as she remembered her mother’s to be. Nevertheless Rose couldn’t help herself from sneaking a little nibble in an unsuspecting corner, enjoying the heavy weight of the bacon grease-soaked bread with a little nod of approval. Rose repeated the process of taste testing her other side dish, and tending to the pork in the cast iron with an expectant glance focusing on the back door just outside the kitchen.

It wouldn’t be much longer.

Dinner didn’t take a full two hours from start to finish, and more importantly Rose knew the drive to Dr. Nancy’s office in town only took eight minutes. If you were driving fifteen miles an hour down main street. The waiting room always took up twenty minutes of time, especially when that sweet receptionist wanted to know how everyone on the edge of town was doing with the annual hay cutting. It seemed Rose was the only woman who could find out how many more acres were needing laid down before a rainfall came.

Even Dr. Nancy knew that dinner was on the table at seven thirty though. She’d have Sam sent on his way long before Pat Sajack and Alex Trebek made their nightly appearances.

Normally the sound of gravel would set Rose into motion, delivering the serving dishes to the dining room, potholders protecting her wrinkled hands from the heat and subsequently the table. Filling cups with ice, and sitting them at their ritual place next to the fridge. Rose knew what time it was without even looking at the old clock above the ‘frigerator and even though she couldn’t hear the tires in the driveway anymore, it would only be a couple more minutes before that back door swung open on a bees-waxed hinge and a loud smack of the screen door following close behind. Another weathered smile broke her consistent humming. Maybe there were some things that didn’t change after all...

Struggling the most with the old cast iron, Rose managed to get it to the table without accident. The potatoes had been mashed, and transferred into a more presentable bowl resting on a crocheted potholder, browned from hundreds of bowls of potatoes. While the greens stayed in their skillet between the two other dishes, steaming temptingly up towards the dining room‘s light fixture. The salad Rose had chopped that morning rested in the middle of the table with a bottle of sour-cream base ranch accompanying it in a quart-sized mason jar.  A pie also sat in the fridge, awaiting dessert time with the plastic container of sweet tea that had been religiously filled that morning as well.Of course none of that was considered ‘heart healthy’ but there were some recipes that didn’t agree with Dr. Nancy’s orders. Rose had never been royalty, or had any desire to be one. But in her heart of hearts this meal was more than worthy of being served to a king and queen… or the occasional doctor.  

In her haste to bring the cornbread to the table, she’d missed the tap of the screen door on the doorframe, and the slow thump of boot heels over the hallway floor. Not even the rustle of a Woolrich coat unzipping and being hung on the coat rack just outside the kitchen alerted Rose that she was putting on quite a show.

“That someone so unforgettable… thinks that I am unforgettable too…” Rose sang, quite lost in her slow hustle of final preparations, unaware that her husband was standing with a big grin on his face. As terribly unaware as she was, Samuel couldn’t resist joining his sweet wife’s ode to Nat Cole.

“Like a song of love that clings to me, How the thought of you does things to me.” Sam’s voice wasn’t nearly as pretty as Rose’s, but he had sang just loud enough that her surprised gasp of realization had given away his little hiding place behind the wall.

They met in the middle of the kitchen, neither one wanting the other to walk the long distance. And as if they both still had the King‘s song playing, a gentle sway brought them together, right on time with the imagined strokes over ivory keys. The couple shared a little laugh, imagining how they must look to anyone out the window. Struggling to keep time with such a slow tempo, nevertheless letting their dinner get cold. This didn’t keep them from enjoying the moment, taking each other’s weathered hands and rocking gently to Rose’s light hum. She rested her head against his chest, cherishing the slight bump of his leather glasses pouch in his shirt pocket and the smell of freshly cut hay filling the room.

“Who are those two?” Sam’s warbly voice spoke out, rocking them in a circle towards the small shelf on the wall of the dining room. In the middle of family portraits, grandchildren, and children hung a monochromatic picture of Rose and Sam smiling brightly at each other. It had been taken ages ago… almost a lifetime.

“Hmm,” Rose paused in fake contemplation. “No idea. Must be as old as the hills by the looks of that old picture.” She chuckled when Sam’s eyes glowed mischievously  at her little jab. Sensing that Sam might’ve been thinking the same thing she patted his shoulder knowingly.

“Well, you might be right there.” Sam wrapped an arm around her shoulders, pulling her close to his chest. “But I can’t imagine having spent sixty-two years married to anyone else.”

Sam ducked his head down pressing a soft kiss to the love lines between Rose’s greyed eyebrows, sighing contentedly. Her brown eyes had turned golden over the long years, reminding him of just how rich he was standing in the middle of the family kitchen. Even the soft circles she rubbed against his back soothed away the stiffness he’d felt sitting in the drivers seat of the truck.

“Happy Anniversary, dear.” He murmured into her hair.

“Happy Anniversary, my love.” She smiled brightly back at him, glowing just as brightly as she had sixty-two years ago today. “How was Dr. Nancy today?” He chuckled in response, extending his arm to let her take a slow spin, careful not to let her get too dizzy.

“Tickers ticking like it should be.” He paused, focusing on catching her hand after the turn-about, easing her back against his chest. “She did say to lay off the blackberry cobbler…” He added softly.

“Oh that woman… I already told her I was using fresh blackberries. Not frozen.” Rose sighed, thinking about how there was no pleasing the young doctor. “One day she’ll understand how nice it is to have a nice slice of pie after a hard day’s work.” Sam let out another chuckle, this time he was more than happy to oblige his wife with a little more good news from Dr. Nancy.

“I have more good news dear.” He waited for those bright golden brown eyes to look back up at him, waiting expectantly. “I didn’t have to schedule another appointment for a whole year.” His eyes glittering with a mix of tearful relief, and pure adoration for the prospect of another whole year with his best friend.

Tears welled in Rose’s eyes, followed by an unsteady little cheer of laughter. Her soft hands rubbing gleefully up and down his back. The two tightened their hug, still gently swaying as if the kitchen itself had put them under a spell where aching joints and deep wrinkles didn’t exist anymore. A room that didn’t remind them of how difficult life could be. The kitchen, with its wood-burning Glenwood was a sanctuary. A place where both Sam and Rose could forget about the bustle of appointments and prescriptions and celebrate a life full of love, all while swaying back and forth to King Cole.

here is my molly playlist! fair warning: my approach to playlists is not “good for public consumption” but instead “songs i already like that could possibly potentially apply to this character if i focus on these lines only.” there are NINE mountain goats songs on here.

it’s in a vague order of “carefree approach to life,” “gender,” “relationships with yasha & the others,” “thoughts on backstory,” “being glorious and vivacious and kind of self-destructive because of that and the desperate desire to feel and be alive,” and “death.”

ONLYFANS: Has The Pandemic Been Responsible For A New Sexual Revolution?

The new revolution It's safe to say that no one is more surprised that Sonja Morgan is the fourth most popular star on OnlyFans than Sonja Morgan. After all, she's 57-years-old and most famous as longstanding 'Real Housewife of New York.' Not the sort of person you'd expect on a platform comprised mainly of nudes and homemade soft-core porn. But Morgan, who is always looking to expand her empire (toaster ovens and even a Nigerian football team are among the doomed enterprises known to 'RHONY' fans), thought there might be room on OnlyFans for her brand of middle-aged flooziness. 'I'm known on the show as "Sexy Sonja" or "Sexy J",' she told the Post: 'I'm always the first to go naked in the pool. I date younger guys. I have all these videos running around naked at swimsuit parties.' When Morgan first joined OnlyFans, which was July 2020, after she had recovered from a neck and facelift, whilst that detail alone makes her a softcore outlier, consider that RHONY audience consists largely of high-income, highly-educated white women and gay men. Morgan explained this in the only way she knows how: 'I walk into Cipriani, and it's people who went to Harvard or Yale - that's who's watching the show. I'm well known internationally, for my lifestyle, as a model and a philanthropist who was married to JPM.' She is relating to John Adams Morgan, the banking icon known as JPM to his intimate friends. In other words, selling one's sexuality online is becoming a side hustle without the stigma and once upon a time, a reality star under contract to a high-profile cable network would likely be fired for sex work on the side. It wasn't all that long ago that Vanessa Williams, the first Miss Black America, was stripped of her title for having posed nude pictures, which were purchased and published by Penthouse. At the time the US gasped, but if released today, the nation wouldn't bat an eyelid. Now major movie stars such as Michael B. Jordan creates an OnlyFans account with close-ups of him biting his lower lip to bait you in to subscribing to zeros scandal at all. Beyoncé even name checks OnlyFans in Megan Thee Stallion's 'Savage,' and the site gets a 15% uptick in traffic within 24 hours. Then the likes of Blac Chyna, Cardi B, Tyga, 'Teen Wolf' star Tyler Posey - all top content creators sexualizing their content as little or as much as they choose to - there isn't any precise rules of what people should or shouldn't do with their accounts, within reason. But the celebrities are just a tiny fraction of OnlyFans users, as it's attracted college students, housewives, even married couples, and the average people who will show you everything to those who offer more of a tease. Since the lockdown, OnlyFans reported a spike of 7.5 million users in November 2019, and in December 2020 it was 85 million global users with a total payout of $2.7 billion to its content creators - it's like the Guardian says - 'Everyone and their mum are on it'. Where once make gatekeepers determined who and what was sexy - from strip clubs to burlesque dancers to Playboy bunnies and nude  models - Now there were no barriers to entry. Women, men, trans, gender fluid, any age, race, weight - if you want to be on OnlyFans, all you have to do is sign up, and unlike OnlyFans' nearest competitor Pornhub, all the content you create belongs to you; the site takes only a 20% cut of the creator income. We are in the midst of a new sexual revolution, this time ignited by the collision of technology and a generational shift in attitude, with the power that women especially derive from online sex work, from setting their own parameters and prices, has transformed our ideas of who participates and why. Not to mention a global pandemic that has left many financially strapped, ready to take advantage of audiences still mostly confined to their homes. Kirsten Vaughn ,25, launched her OnlyFans account in January of 2020, and at the time she was on track to become the first female master technician at her Honda dealership in Indiana, with her take home page of around $450 a week after taxes. It wasn't enough. 'Six months before joining OnlyFans, I was trying to find a second job,'  she said, stating that she decided to join the site and quickly averaged an additional $1,000 a week in gross income, which is $800 after the OnlyFans commission. 'When I first started out in the industry, I was always getting questions about being female: 'Why are you even here?"' Vaugh found herself trying to 'eliminate parts of her femininity' as she puts it, in a quest to be seen as neither male nor female - just an employee, one particularly good at her job, if she did say so herself. It didn't work, and when she got the idea to join OnlyFans, it wasn't just a way to make money, it was a way to enjoy wearing 'make-up and cute clothes, being girly and feminine.' Her parents, she said, don't have a problem with it, for her dad, it was simply a matter of delivery systems changing, his generation had magazines; her generation had the internet. Then came the day a salesman at her dealership approached her saying that he had seen more of her than he ever wanted to see, 'no offense' in his words, and apparently he said he was pretty disgusted, she said: 'And I was really scared that what would happen, happened' and she was let go. Vaughn still doesn't understand why she was fired while two salesmen who viewed her content at work weren't punished equally: 'They told me they didn't care that their salesmen were watching porn on the floor during work hours,' Vaughn said: 'I was a distraction in the shop.' General manager John Watkins said that Vaughn was fired for 'violations of company procedures and policies,' but declined to specify what they were. Vaughn's firing made headlines - especially as the world over, out of work due to the pandemic, turned to OnlyFans as a money-making venture, and to Vaughn, there was no shame, only anger: Just how many of her critics, she asks, watches porn? Why the double-standard - that it's okay for men to consume porn, and as much and as often as they like, but the women who create it should be ostracized, vilified and made to suffer? That said though, Vaughn would warn anyone planning to join OnlyFans, or to pursue any line of sex work at all, that everyone in your life will eventually find out, because she's part of a generation who will not just need to explain social media histories to future employers - or who may be fired for decades-old tweets - but who will have online sexual histories as well. So when Vaughn interviewed for hew new job at another dealership, she openly spoke about her OnlyFans presence, and no one cared. Her main concern, she said, is her personal safety: Yes, sex work online, whether it's a cam girl, often not nearly as profitable, or an OnlyFans creator, protects one from strange people and places and physical harm, be it violence or STDs. But that very technology also makes it easier for strangers to stalk her. Vaughn said: 'I'm in the public eye to a certain extent, and in a way, I don't have any anonymity. If some creepy guy wants to find me, all he has to do is show up.' On the other hand, Vaughn is her own boss - a role that women in sex work have never had before. 'OnlyFans is no different tan the peep shows,' says Marina Adshade who is a Professor that specializes in the economics of sex and love. But with peep shows there were still owners, typically men, who controlled the hiring, salaries, frequency of work and hours, to say anything of some of the abysmal unsanitary conditions. Any sex worker in 2021, liberated by modern technology, would ever put up with any of that. 'OnlyFans and cam girls can only bee seen as a good thing,' Adshade said: 'If someone is a sex worker of their own accord - I see now downside to this.' Stephanie Michelle has been on OnlyFans for about four years, after her former platform Patreon stepped back from sexual content, and she said the pandemic has been more profitable than she could have predicted. 'I'm like, "What's happening?" I'm just posting my boobs on the internet, but business has been booming, and all of us are at home bored out of our minds.' She won't divulge her age (because when you're a sex worker over 30, you lose half of your clientele), or her monthly income, but her base rate of $14,00 per month has helped support her husband, who is an out of work cinematographer, as well as their three cats. 'I don't do penetration,' she says: 'But then I learned you could literally crochet scarves on OnlyFans.' Which then brings us onto Bella Thorne, and though you can post whatever you like to OnlyFans, from cooking to decorating videos, it's known for it's sexual content. So obviously, when Bella Thorne joined, fans flocked thinking they will get to see the former Disney star gone bad in the nude, but she remained fully clothed. In the wake of a really big backlash to what some users had considered false advertising, OnlyFans put caps on what creators can charge, as well as what the user can tip, per day as well as other restrictions. As of August 2020, $50 is the limit for exclusive content per month (Its like paying for an additional streaming service), with $100 cap on tips. 'Bella Thorne made promises and didn't deliver, and that makes sex workers look bad,' Michelle says: 'She's making us look like we don't care about our fans, or that we're liars and cheats. The price cap didn't affect my business - however, that doesn't make me any less pissed off about the cap. I'm very upset for my friends' - other content creators who suffered as a result of the caps. Michelle sees OnlyFans as a net positive, one that is forcing society to reconsider what it means to sell one's image, likeness, or body. She said why is it, that it's more harmful to sell oneself virtually than in the real world, and why do we consider some forms of commodification valid and good, but not others? 'Athletes sell their bodies,' she argues: 'Footballers and boxers get brain damage. In my opinion that's more harmful than me putting my tits online. No one is forcing me to post nudes or make content that I don't want to make. I'm basically an entrepreneur.' Michelle also has direct conversations with individual subscribers, many of whom, she says, are looking for a way to feel less anxious and lonely in lockdown. Relationships have been stripped from us for a full year, said Michelle: I'm so thankful I was able to help people de-stress in a year that was only stress.' And as for Morgan, who has a new season of RHONY due to premier on 4th May 2021, OnlyFans has become part of her brand: 'Bravo is my lifeline, but I do OnlyFans for the same reason I get on Twitter every night - I like to connect with my viewership. And I can tell you: you make good money.' Plus by 2030, OnlyFans will seem quant to the point of innocence, what, with the rise in sex robots... Read the full article

15 Things To Do If You're Stuck At Home In Quarantine

1) Waste time on social media - well this is a given isn't it? I mean we already waste plenty of time on Facebook and Twitter and Instagram so we will surely be spending even more time there now. Just promise not to "share" bogus coronavirus info and start a mad panic. Oh, wait, too late for that....

2) Binge watch Netflix - Now is the perfect time to get caught up on the third season of "The Crown" and all those other shows you've been meaning to watch. While you are at it - if you like The Crown - you should sign up for the streaming service "Britbox". I've already spent too many hours glued to British mysteries and comedies - now I get to rationalize it.

3) Clean your house - I mean REALLY clean your house. As in all the stuff behind and inside that sofa that you pretend isn't really there

4) Organize your last 10 years of photos - the ones that are on your phone and your computer and your tablet and maybe even an SD card or two. Forget the other 14 things on this list - you could easily spend two weeks on nothing but the photos.

5) Clean up your email - Do you really need all those emails from 8 years ago? Now might be a good time to thin things out. If you are like me you have more than one email account so this could take as long as the photos.

6) Clean up your computer - If you think you have a lot of photos and emails they are probably nothing compared to the 10 zillion files on your computer. You might actually need longer than two weeks for this one....

7) Play with your dog - you know, that cute furry thing that stares at you with bored forlorn eyes as you are glued to all your devices.

8) Knit or crochet or build a birdhouse - This is a perfect opportunity to turn all that yarn you bought into something useful like a scarf. Or 10 scarves. If yarn isn't your thing I'm sure there's something like woodworking or scrapbooking you can do. Is Scrapbooking still a thing?

9) Spend some quality time with your partner (and kids if you've got them) - you know, those other people in your house/apartment who sit next to you and are also glued to their devices. There are things called board games - play some.

10) Do jigsaw puzzles - I'm sure you have a few stashed in a closet somewhere. Get out the one with 5000 pieces. That are all autumn leaves. That should keep you busy for a while.

11) Bake - You always say you have no time for baking. Well now you have nothing but time. And if you want some tips on baking and cooking and pie you can follow me as I'm baking my way through the 1950 Betty Crocker Picture Cookbook (visit overbookedandunderpaid.com and click Back To Betty in the sidebar for the posts so far)

12) Cook your own food for a change - why stop with baking? Give the golden arches and the frozen food section a break and go poking around the internet for cool recipes - start with Pinterest since you are going to be doing all that social media stuff anyway.

13) Call family and friends - you know, the ones you are always texting and sending photos to but don't actually speak to. Yes, phones can actually be used for talking.

14) Build a fort out of all the toilet paper rolls you're hoarding - we know very well you went out last week and bought enough toilet paper to last until 2022 - turn it into a cool little retreat. Sit inside it with your Netflix and some popcorn.

15) Make stress purchases on amazon - yes, I know this is terrible advice. But you were going to do it anyway, weren't you? While you are there pick up  this book by Amy Sidaris:

Ravelry, a Popular Knitting Site, Bans Pro-Trump Content

Traditionally, politics are not for the dinner table. Or the crafting circle.

But on Sunday, Ravelry, a popular website for knitters and crocheters, took a political stand when it announced that it was banning content that supports President Trump, in what it said was a resolution against white supremacy.

“We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy,” the site said in a statement explaining the decision. “Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy.”

The policy applies to content on the site, including knitting patterns and forum posts, but not to people, according to Ravelry, which said it still welcomed Republicans and those with conservative political views. “You can still participate if you do in fact support the administration, you just can’t talk about it here,” the statement said, adding that “hate groups and intolerance are different from other types of political positions.”

The announcement led to a swift and intense reaction from all corners of the knitting world, whose denizens range from twentysomethings in Brooklyn to grandmothers in the Midwest. Some people condemned the policy as liberal bias and promised to delete their accounts, while others said they had “never been prouder to be part of this community.”

Alicia Garcia, 34, a Ravelry user from Las Vegas, who supports Mr. Trump for what she sees as his patriotism, economic success and tell-it-like-it-is style, said she felt “ostracized” by the decision.

Ms. Garcia said she discovered knitting when she was pregnant a few years ago and, as a parent who stays at home to care for her three children, had come to enjoy the community on Ravelry. She frequently turned to it for knitting tips as she made clothes for her children and gifts for other babies. Now, she wonders: “Do I have to be silent? Are they going to ask, ‘Oh, are you a Trump supporter?’ and if I say yes, then boom, I’m gone?”

She said that the site, which promotes its inclusivity, should not target a specific group. “If it’s one way, then it should be both ways,” she said. “No politics on this group at all.”

Nadira Adams, 34, a knitwear and textile designer in California, said she personally agreed with the policy but worried that it raised broader political questions. “If you take this stand, then you have to really question what other political stands you are going to take and what other politicians are O.K. and what aren’t,” she said.

“In a perfect world, we would just craft,” she said. But she noted that “if people are made to feel uncomfortable, then it’s something that needs to be addressed.”

Ravelry, which says it has eight million members, was shut down to new users on Monday, and the site’s leadership did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

On the site’s forums, several posts about the ban had been locked, archived or deleted by moderators. “Kill yourselves,” one protester said. “Boycott Ravelry,” said another. “Just wow,” one user wrote. “I didn’t vote for him. But I don’t support this. I don’t support thought police.”

Knitting and crocheting are known for bringing people of all walks of life together. There are knitting groups for church missions and pregnant mothers, gay and transgender people and black liberation. But in the era of Instagram and Etsy, the craft, historically practiced by older women, has also experienced a clash of cultures as it finds a new following among a younger demographic.

In recent years, knitted products have become weapons in the fight for women’s rights, including a campaign to send knitted vaginas to male members of Congress, and the campaign during the first Women’s March in 2017 to wear pink “pussyhats” in protest of remarks made by Mr. Trump on the “Access Hollywood” tape.

It was unclear exactly what prompted the Ravelry policy change on Sunday. But the post announcing the decision cited as its inspiration a similar policy at RPG.net, a gaming site that enacted its own ban on Trump support in October 2018.

Mr. Trump’s immigration policies, which have included separating children from their families at the Mexican border, have drawn renewed scrutiny in recent days amid reports about poor treatment of detained migrants. In 2017, he was criticized for saying there was blame on “both sides” of a deadly rally in Charlottesville, Va., in which white supremacists clashed with counterprotesters in a fight over Confederate monuments.

“The knitting community has been this happy little bubble for a long time,” said Amy Singer, the editor of Knitty, an online knitting magazine, which for years had a policy of “no religion, no politics.”

But as has happened elsewhere in society, she said, the bubble burst because not everyone felt included. This year, knitters of color began speaking out on Instagram about their experiences with racism and prejudice in the community.

The community has also recently been talking about other issues of equality, including the size and racial representation of online models, as well as economic diversity, Ms. Singer said.

“There are people who have been talking down to other people because they can’t afford anything better than craft yarn from Michael’s,” she said. “Knitting has always been political, whether you believe it or not.”

Besides discussions of crafting, Ravelry has many forums that center on other hobbies: Crockpot Love, with its nearly 6,000 members; Knit ’n Bake, with more than 3,000; Sox Knitters, with more than 1,000 knitters who also want to discuss the Boston Red Sox; and Running With Sharp Objects, where more than 2,000 members talk about their exercise regimens.

And then there are the groups devoted to political commentary and current events. One of the largest, the Pussyhat Project, which made pink hats during the Women’s March, describes its more than 4,500 members as “progressive activists that craft the way forward.” (Recent posts include: “She Persisted!” and “Michael Cohen Testimony.”) Another group, Welcome Blanket, is dedicated to using 2,000 miles of yarn — the length of the proposed border wall with Mexico — and making individual blankets for refugees.

Judy Martinez, 63, of Morristown, N.J., did not come to the craft for politics. She said she started knitting at a local store during a stressful time in her life. “There was a lot of anxiety and a lot of pressure,” she said. “It was very calming.”

Similarly, she said, Ravelry offers social support by allowing people to ask for feedback and tips on particular patterns, similar to sharing pointers on how to cook a recipe.

Ms. Martinez, who buys patterns from Ravelry, said she was pleasantly surprised by the site’s announcement. “They really took a stand,” she said. “So many of the companies don’t do that and sit at the sidelines. The fact that they did that was impressive to me.”

But she also noted that Ravelry had a monopoly on the market — it has been described as the Facebook of knitting — and was in a position to take a chance.

Before moving to California, Ms. Adams, the knitwear designer, founded a knitting group in Brooklyn dedicated to two of her passions, “Chocolate + Yarn.” She said she had also hosted craft events at a shelter for women and children and held free events in London, and witnessed how it brought people from varying backgrounds together.

“There is something about crafting that is therapeutic. It transcends language, transcends what you are going through,” she said. “I hope this doesn’t overshadow the wider meaning and the wider connection.”

Praise for Mountains & Men Series:

"I can't rave enough about this book. The chemistry between Millie and Sage jumps from the pages, and the sexy times are HOT." -Backstage Books (Encore Worthy)

"5 harmonious stars!! Beautiful and sexy...I was sucked into this book the minute I started reading and I didn't put it down until the end! Sage is not like your typical rock star book boyfriend. He's actually charming and down to earth which makes you fall in love with him more." -Alpha Book Club (Worthy of the Harmony)

“Sage continues to heat things up, on and off the stage!” Crystal's Crazy Book Ramblings (Worthy of the Dissonance)

“What a fantastic conclusion to this amazing.. sexy... smokin'... emotional series!!!” - Author Hayley Faiman (Worthy of the Melody)

Encore Worthy (Book 0.5) Blurb:

He was arrogant.

He was beautiful.

He was to be her one night fix.

She was gorgeous.

She was haunted.

She was to be his temporary muse.

Millicent Valentine isn't looking for much when she walks into The Brew Cycle for a night out with friends. She isn't after love. Why risk the heartache when one night of unbridled passion will do the trick? Any handsome, willing male will do just fine. When she is introduced to the lead singer of Mountains & Men, she can't seem to take her eyes off of him. He’s an arrogant little shit—but it’s only one night, right?

Sage McCoy is always on the prowl, knowing he can get just about any girl in the room after a night on stage. When he’s introduced to Millie, there is no doubt in his mind that he has to have her. But when he gets her alone, she makes his heart sing and he’s convinced one night will never do.

When morning dawns, the knowledge that comes with the sun has Millicent kicking Sage to the curb—but he knows what he wants and he’s ready for the chase.

His one night stand is worthy of an encore.

******************************************************************************************

Worthy of the Harmony (Book 1) 

[Worthy of the Harmony is a continuation to Encore Worthy, so make sure you read that first! This is the second of four installments revolving around Sage and Millie. Intended for audiences 18+ years of age due to explicit language and sexual content.]

Blurb:

She is guarded.

She is inspirational.

She is worthy of more than an encore.

He is alluring.

He is confident.

He is more than she ever bargained for.

Her stubbornness battles against his persistence…

His optimism outshines her resistance…

And their song plays on.

Sage McCoy has always been the type of guy who goes after what he wants. For years, what he’s desired most is to see his band, Mountains & Men, become more than Saturday night entertainment at a local bar. He swears he’ll chase that dream until it comes true, or he’ll die trying. Now, he senses that he and his mates are on the precipice of something amazing, and he’s never wanted anything more.

Except, perhaps, Millicent Valentine—the woman he craves above all others.

Millicent Valentine believes in one absolute truth: Men always leave. Yet, despite her belief that Sage will eventually tire of her, she can’t help but indulge her desire for him. She makes up her mind that he can have her body, but he isn’t allowed her heart. Though, she never anticipated that the leading man of Mountains & Men would be so much more than the arrogant little shit she imagined him to be.

Worthy of the Dissonance (Book 2) 

[Worthy of the Dissonance is NOT a standalone novel. It is to be read only AFTER you've read Encore Worthy and Worthy of the Harmony! Intended for audiences 18+ years of age due to explicit language and sexual content.]

Blurb:

He is loyal.

He is steadfast.

He is the home she never knew.

She is broken.

She is afraid.

She is worthy of his fight.

Millicent Valentine is a woman in love—and it scares the shit out of her. Pushing away the keeper of her heart felt like her only option, but it doesn’t take her long to realize she was wrong. She may be frightened to admit it, but to deny how much she needs him is a lie unworthy of the effort.

Sage McCoy is a man on the brink of success—but living the dream isn’t enough anymore. So long as the woman he loves isn’t by his side, he knows he’ll never have it all. He won’t give up on her, but his resilience has only just begun to be tested.

Regret. Forgiveness. Loss. Love. The discordant sounds of reality write their song—but through the dissonance, their love plays on.

Worthy of the Melody (Book 3) 

{Worthy of the Melody is NOT a standalone novel. It is the final installment to Sage and Millie's story, which begins in Encore Worthy!}

Blurb:

She is brave.

She is worthy.

She is the melody that he sings.

He is daring.

He is brilliant.

He is the man of her wildest dreams.

Sage McCoy is in the spotlight, and it's his time to shine. With open doors at every turn, Mountains & Men is on the verge of having it all—but life is about to change in ways this rock star never saw coming.

Millicent Valentine has surrendered her heart completely, but falling in love was only just the beginning. With the awakening of a dream and the promise of things hoped for, she could have it all—but everything worth having comes at a cost.

The mountain they face is one they must climb together—the hope of forever in reach, so long as neither one of them lets go.
