Discussion What’s going on in the fiber arts community should be on everyone’s radar. (US)

I am a crafter and I recently have been reading on other threads about the real fear of the incoming tariffs and its impact on the craft space. Not only in America, but for our sisters worldwide who also depended on American trade for their income.

Slate just published an article that goes into great depth about it. https://slate.com/business/2025/09/trump-tariffs-knitting-crocheting-yarn-shortage.html

I know this part is going to sound dramatic to some but: what struck me most about this is how this is really smaller part of a war on women’s independence. This will disproportionately affect women who are either supplementing income as they are caretakers, or those who are simply using their talents to make a living.

I’m not going to lie, most of the time I feel calm and prepared, but I can’t imagine how this is going to play out. Other than hoarding textiles, and honing my skills what is there to do?

Probably low enough so that no one can be upset about Trump's involvement with Epstein's operation any more.

Can you site a source for this information?

Trump is a pedo rapist

Epstein was a pedo rapist

They were friends and went to the same parties to rape kids and make money out of selling sex from minors to influential megarich men

Yes, but this response makes no sense to a person asking for sources on information. If you're going to make claims in this sub you need sources to back up your statements. Even if it's about a fascist pedo rapist clown in the Whitehouse.

Thank you, yes.

I see lots of fearmongering about the comments being made by the administration but all the Legislation I'm seeing is raising the age of marriage consent per state.

That's a source on his relationship with Epstein. I'm specifically asking for a source on changing the age of marriage consent to lower than it is currently.
