From the Past...and Into the Future

2008-12-14T19:19:46Z

I just wanted to say...I joined Tribe.net, simply to join with this group of what must be incredible women. About a year ago, one of my best friends was helping his mother go some stuff and they almost threw away a shirt with the Ladies Sewing Circle logo on it...and with the date 1977, but then both decided that it should continue to live on...on my back...so I decided to search it on the net one day...and now I am here...
I was a 3 year old little streaker when my friend's mother got the shirt I now wear...at 34 I am glad to see that there is a still a tradition of strong, focused women out here with me, sharing the future with each other. Thanks for being here...g

east bay empowerment/DIY/self-sufficiency group?

2007-07-18T23:37:38Z

hi...
looking for a cool group of people devoted to DIY--I want to live more and more from my own endeavors: gardening to produce food, repairing clothing and eventually sewing/knitting clothing to wear. Reduce dependence on consumer society or something to that effect. Basically, when it all goes down, I want to have some survival skills cached away. If you're interested in discussing these topics or meeting or something, hit me with a reply or whatever works on this network.

Stop Keroack, Support Birth Control

2007-03-01T02:20:20Z

Eric Keroack doesn't even believe in birth control, but the Bush administration has put him in charge of all the federal government's family planning programs. Keroack long served as the medical director of A Woman's Concern, a chain of so-called 'crisis pregnancy centers' that believes the distribution of contraceptive drugs and devices is "demeaning to women". It's totally wrong to place hundreds of millions of federal dollars-meant to provide access to birth control and reproductive health information- in the hands of the leader of an anti-birth control organization. To help drive Keroack out of this position you can send a donation to the planned parenthood organization. And of course as always; organize, educate, write, bitch and moan. Peace.

POVERTY SUCKS

2007-01-10T18:35:53Z

The war is costing America ten million dollars per hour.
The average CEO in America has earned in their first three hours on the job what a minimum wage worker earns per year.
This is obscene, if there is anyone that can provide some insight to the average person on what they can do to fight this, please help educate me and others.
I personally try to live as simply and peacefully as possible, I try to buck corporation and be self-sufficient and kind to our mother earth.
I'm assuming we all know that this is ideal but is there something else i can do? I'm pissed.

dog clothes

2006-12-20T07:08:41Z

Hi Ladies,

Hope all you newenglanders are enjoying the clean, crisp air. We recently got a nine month old jack russell, love him! The cool mornings make him shiver and i would like to attempt to make him some sweaters or other clothings. Right now i just wrap him up in whatever but it doesn't work so well. Just wondering if anyone had tried and found a particuarly good pattern or idea. He is my first small dog.

I would also like to put out some thoughts on animal shelters. Please instead of throwing out old or tattered blankets, covers or towels, donate them to your local shelter. And if you can afford the time, most shelters would greatly benefit from volunteers. Even a couple hours in the afternoon spent exercising the animals is a huge help and service. You might just fall in love too!

Magnetic Frog Clips Idea

2006-08-10T17:42:04Z

So I have this awesome silk shirt that was made in Nepal that uses frog clasps. The clasps are useless and come apart when you look at the them the wrong way so I want to replace them.

I just purchased some super small super strong rare earth magnets about the size of a dime. My idea is to sew them in to the seem of the shirt so that it just magically holds its self closed. I would then of course have the useful part of the frog clips removed without, hopefully, removing there aesthetic presence on the shift. I have several ideas on how this could work but I do not have the skill or the knowledge to pull this off my self.

Is there someone out there who thinks they might be up to the challenge? I would of course be more then willing to pay or trade you for your time.

I'm not working at the moment so i can meet up with you pretty much any time in the next two weeks. ( before bm ) =]

Thanks so much!

thought I'd share a story...

2006-06-07T04:21:00Z

I went to a secret party the other night, where a bunch of coworkings and I smashed a custom made pinata of a co-worker. We exchanged our favorite stories of why we hated him, and there was much evil laughter that night...

We also discussed on our next move...

san francisco feminist group?

2006-02-24T00:00:31Z

i'm looking to start a feminist group with local women of all ages and backgrounds.

the main goal would be to meet bi-monthly for dinner/drinks/discussion of feminist politics and goals - a consciousness raising of sorts - but with fun and friendship thrown in there to balance out the cerebral part of it as well. it could be along the lines of drinking liberally or a craft circle, or just whatever works to bring women together to enjoy one another's company and share information to advance our place in the world.

i consider myself a liberal feminist well on my way to becoming a radical feminist (as i become more informed and more pissed off) but i welcome feminists of every variety and skill level. :-)

i haven't really worked out all the details yet, i was just throwing this out there to see if there's even any interest first, but i really want it to be safe, fun, informal, informative and generally ass-kicking!

if you're interested, please contact me and we'll see if we can't get this thing going!

Anybody have experience repairing snaps?

2006-02-10T03:06:30Z

I have a shirt with snaps on the cuffs, one of the snaps is missing the little springy washer type thing that goes inside, so it doesn't "snap".
Do you think I'd have to replace the whole snap? That seems like it would ruin the shirt. Is there a way to find the little springy washer type thing and put a new one in?
Thanks

HI Ladies

2005-10-13T02:31:48Z

Wow, I'm new here and from the looks of it there have been no posts since February? Is anyone still here? A couple of years ago a friend of mine gave me the LSC/TS T-shirt and I loved it. She said it was right up my alley, so to speak. So when I found this tribe I was thrilled. Anyone out there? Any good Mayhem cookin' up?

Help make a love quilt for a very sick burner, Curtis!

2005-01-24T19:46:29Z

I don't know how many of you know Curtis, but he needs our help. Read his story at http://www.friendsofcurtis.com

I am trying to orchestrate the construction of a love quilt and an auction quilt. Details of it are at http://quiltersforcurtis.tribe.net

Would love to have you ... and sorry if you see this in other forums, I really would love to have more help.

Even if you can't make a block (they are 10.5x10.5), please consider adding your handprint to the back of the quilt. It's easy -- just trace your hand on a piece of paper, write your name and email address within the palm (so it doesn't get cut off when I cut it out). I will applique these to the back of the quilt so when Curtis needs love, all he has to do is wrap himself in this quilt to feel us giving him a hand.

Thanks!

Kristine

Support "Not One Damn Dime Day"

2004-12-17T17:29:19Z

Not One Damn Dime Day, Jan 20th
Since our religious leaders will not speak out against the war in
Iraq, since our political leaders don't have the moral courage to oppose it, Inauguration Day, Thursday, January 20th, 2005 is "Not One Damn Dime Day” in America.

On "Not One Damn Dime Day" those who oppose what is happening in our name in Iraq can speak up with a 24-hour national boycott of all forms of consumer spending.

During "Not One Damn Dime Day" please don't spend money. Not one damn dime for gasoline. Not one damn dime for necessities or for impulse purchases. Not one damn dime for nothing for 24 hours.

On "Not One Damn Dime Day," please boycott Wal-Mart, Kmart, Target. Please don't go to the mall or the local convenience store. Please don't buy any fast food (or any groceries at all for that matter).

For 24 hours, please do what you can to alter the retail economy.

The object is simple. Remind the people in power that the war in Iraq is immoral and illegal; that they are responsible for starting it and that it is their responsibility to stop it.

"Not One Damn Dime Day" is to remind them, too, that they work for the people of the United States of America, not for the international corporations and K Street lobbyists who represent the corporations and funnel cash into American politics.

"Not One Damn Dime Day" is about supporting the troops. The
politicians put the troops in harm's way.

Now 1,200 brave young Americans and (some estimate) 100,000 Iraqis have died. The politicians owe our troops a plan - a way to come home.

There's no rally to attend. No marching to do. No left or right wing agenda to rant about. On "Not One Damn Dime Day" you take action by doing nothing.

You open your mouth by keeping your wallet closed.

For 24 hours, nothing gets spent, not one damn dime, to remind our religious leaders and our politicians of their moral responsibility to end the war in Iraq and give America back to the people.
