Due to the physical problems caused by Ravelry’s new website and the staff’s continued gaslighting, silencing, and unwillingness to acknowledge or apologize for the harm they have caused, or to seek a valid solution to the problem, my independent patterns are no longer available on Ravelry.

I have not had a migraine or seizure due to the new site. It has caused eyestrain and headaches. But I believe the accounts given by others when they say they’ve been harmed. In solidarity with those who are physically unable to use the new site, I’m out. I’m not coming back. If you would like to join me, you can find me on Instagram (aroomfullofdoors). Unless you’re also intent on gaslighting, silencing, ignoring the voices of the many neurodiverse users who are now physically barred from the site. Or unless you intend to defend the Ravelry staff when they clearly don’t believe that all Black Lives Matter, that all LGBTQIA+ users have rights, or that disabled and neurodiverse users should be afforded the same rights and protections as able-bodied users. If that’s the case, you can stay here.
