may I know what he did to earn your ire?

Sure, thanks for asking!

You're right about the typical gender breakdown of fiber arts spaces. There's no evidence that Horatio Herbert Kitchener even knew how to knit. He was a British colonial army officer who supported an initiative during World War I encouraging women at home to make socks and other knitted items for soldiers. The Red Cross distributed a booklet with a pattern including a grafted toe, and his name got attached to the technique. (source)

But more importantly, in his role in the British colonial army he was notably responsible for atrocities in South Africa during the Boer war. This included concentration camps in which tens of thousands of people, mostly children, died. The website I linked above says they were a direct model for the Nazi concentration camps, although I haven't checked out that claim myself.

Hey everyone! If you like my grafting videos and want to support me, you can buy me a coffee here: https://buymeacoffee.c...

In this video, I graft an old apple tree to take advantage of its strong root system by changing its variety using bark grafting. I inserted four dormant scions around the trunk for better success. After just two months, I was happy to see the first fruits, but I had to remove them so all the tree’s energy could go into developing the graft properly. I also filmed the growth progress over several months and included it here, so you can see how the grafts developed and how they healed over time.

I don't have any cannibalism memes on hand but anyway published a fic for @canonchallulah last night, it's about the process of changing your origin within the lore of my friends' and my SMP and surprisingly the very important detail of eating your last vessel is actually not quite the foreground
