Once upon a time, in a private group on a social network, as a friend outlined their plight with their abusive partner, and how this person needed a "come to Jesus moment", this is how I responded. And it stuck. It stuck because it embodied the "nuclear option" that many people face when abused by a partner or caregiver, regardless of the nature of the abuse (physical, mental, emotional, sexual, financial... the list goes on). I realize that there are abusive women and non binary people out there, and I am sorry if that is the situation you face. However, the vast majority of abusers remain male. This phrase has gotten me banned over and over again, especially on social networks.  But, I stand by it. Marginalized people face horrific abuse daily on social media. Unfortunately the only policing that is done, is tone... those that clap back get silenced. Always nuke him from space, darling... pick up the phone for legal counsel, pack a bag, pack your kids, pack your shit... gtfo of there. Everyone deserves to be safe and loved. 50% of the profits from this design are headed to the Yes Shelter for Youth and Families in Peterborough Ontario. https://thecaffeinatedraven.com/collections/nuke-him-from-space https://www.instagram.com/p/CRhazEssxKj/?utm_medium=tumblr

😍 Indigo Dyed, Organic Handwoven Cotton, Kanoko Shibori Bandhani Scarf/Shawl with Fringe 😍 by The Caffeinated Raven This 100% organic handspun, handwoven cotton scarf was hand tied and dyed in natural indigo. It would make a delightful addition to any accessory wardrobe, not to mention the perfect gift for that special someone (even if that someone is you. Treat yourself!) -hand tied and dyed using natural indigo -one of a kind Length: 180.34 cm (71") Width: 78.74 cm (31") *** Originating in Japan, Shibori is an ancient art form of manual resist cloth dyeing that is still practiced in many countries in the Eastern world today. The word itself, comes from “shiboru” meaning to wring, press or squeeze. Resists are created by using a variety of folding techniques, by wrapping on objects such as a pole or rope, compressing between wooden blocks, tying, and specialized sewing stitches. No two shibori works are identical as any small difference in the process can dramatically change the outcome. Each piece of shibori is its own individual work of art. Kanoko or “Bound-Resist” Shibori uses string, sinew, thread, or even rubber bands to pinch, bind and shape the fabric. The fabric can be painstakingly folded, twisted and shaped in many different ways and then bound to create a resisted design. Shibori is a process. This piece has been washed, rinsed and made ready for the dye, the resists applied, dyed in the colour(s) you see here, rinsed, the resists removed and then washed, hung to dry and then ironed. Shibori is a very detailed process; each piece must be treated with love, dedication and respect and as a result, it becomes a work of art that cannot be duplicated. *** The Japanese aesthetic of “wabi-sabi” embraces imperfection and transience through its preference of natural, asymmetrical and simple design. It is a logical companion to shibori, as the natural fibres, manual process, basic yet elegant designs and the unpredictability of the results are integral to the beauty of each work 👉 Find the link in our bio https://www.instagram.com/p/COFwaHjgVy9/?igshid=72239uzll4z2
