The Bringer of Light

I think I realized this when I had went to see my dad and stepmom one day and asked if I could place my hawk’s food. (A rabbit leg) in the freezer. My step mom was disgusted by the idea that a leg from an animal was in the freezer meanwhile an entire chicken was sitting in the fridge.

Your rotisserie chicken is an entire chicken.

Your pork chop is a hunk of pig.

Your rack of ribs are from a cow’s rib cage.

It’s like Americans view meat as colorful red and pink hued shapes that just exist and come into the world packaged.

You see so many people getting harassed or even having their content flagged for showing how to process or field dress meat when it’s at it’s freshest. Right after culling. For some reason this is considered “gore” by many folks when in reality it’s no more different from plucking a processed chicken after cull.

You also notice that Americans have an idea of what’s normal meat and what isn’t normal meat and there’s racist undertones that I’ve noticed in a lot of these comments left on foreign cooking videos

You have people that claim a video of a man in a different country preparing something like this is “eating a dog.” Meanwhile this is roasted goat.

You have people who’s only perception of an edible fish is in fillet or fish stick form and they call something like this nasty because “Eww there’s a head!” Yeah.. most animals have heads..

I mean. It’s rainbow. On a black background. Of course I’m gonna want some LOL

Anyway, decided to do a two colour quilt again and to keep it simple. I needed a break to just throw something together without thinking too hard about it.

So, a modified nine patch and snowball with sashing it is.

A little bit of layout to see how I like it.

And a couple rows sewed.

The fabric is directional, which was a little bit of a pain to make everything go in the right orientation, but tis very pleasing to look at :D

I didn’t think the black was gonna look quite so dark, but I auditioned several background colours including navy and forest green, but the black was the ultimate winner.

The black was indeed the best choice for the background, it’s plain and doesn’t take anything away from the mushroom fabric.

I did not trim away the underneath snowball corners like I normally would, and it didn’t bother my machine at home to piece, or the long arm, so I think I may leave those more often instead of wasting time trimming those tiny triangles off.

I found a gorgeous multicoloured hexagon print on a black background and had to use it. It’s fabulous.

I’m not trying to single you out, I’ve had few other asks in the same vein, and yours was the most recent.

For people wondering, here is what unfolded this weekend-ish

I don’t think there is much to think or say, it looks pretty clear to me; but I feel like you are wondering if I’d be one of the people that would “excuse”, “defend”, “understand” Ayme, and short answer is no : I don’t think it is appropriate to single out young, minor fans and meet with them privately. And don’t even get me started on the physical touches (“a hug”, “kiss on the cheeks”)… There is no excuse, this is morally wrong on so many levels.

I’m glad that the victim felt supported enough by their friends/community that they could come forward and share their experience, I saw it also helped other people do the same. I hope they are still well supported and have the help they need; I hope the OM community is respectful and supportive towards them.
