Knitting Website ‘Ravelry’ Bans Users From Posting In Support of President Donald Trump

Social media platform and online community for knitters and crocheters – Ravelry – announced in a tweet on June 23, 2019 “We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry. We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supermacy.” The tweet also linked to a blog post outlining the new rules and the reasons for why the policy was put into place. While the blog posted about the new guidelines explicitly says that users are allowed to use Ravelry if they support Trump, it reiterates that those supporters are not allowed to discuss support of Trump on the platform. One sentence on the blog reads “Do not try to weaponize this policy by entrapping people who do support the Trump administration into voicing their support.” The site is under scrutiny as a result of the tweet with some users taking to tweeter to respond with their own “versions” of the new policy. One Twitter user CaseClosed @WDS08 says, “also Ravely: We are Inclusive, Caring, Diverse and we will ban anyone who says otherwise.” Another user on Twitter Dan Gainor @dangainor tweeted, “I hope this decision hurts your bottom   Read more…

A Dominican Republic Hotel Where Two American Tourists Died Is Removing Minibar Liquor Dispensers

The Hard Rock Hotel, the location of two American tourist deaths in the Dominican Republic, is removing the alcohol dispensers from minibars. While the deaths have not been confirmed to be related and so far no official report has linked the deaths to a specific cause, many of the tourists that have died in the Dominican Republic reportedly drank liquor from the minibars. David Harrison, 45, and Robert Bell Wallace both died while staying at the Punta Cana resort. There have been a total of 10 confirmed US tourist deaths in 2019 in the Dominican Republic with some of those consuming minibar drinks shortly before dying. The General Manager of the resort, Erica Lopez, tells CNN that she hops the decision to remove these dispensers will “provide more tranquility for guests” and reiterated that the decision to remove these dispensers was made independently and not a reaction to the deaths that happened at the resort. In one report from a physician at Rutgers University, Reynold A. Panettieri Jr speculates that tainted alcohol could be to blame for some of the deaths.

Long Island New York Resident Dies In Dominican Republic ‘After Drinking Something’

Vittorio Caruso, a 56 year old pizzeria owner from Glen Cove, New York died in the Dominican Republic last week after going into “respiratory distress after drinking something”, according to his sister in law Lisa Maria Caruso. The New York resident is now the 10th confirmed tourist death in the Dominican Republic that, while officials claim have no connection, seem to revolve around consuming beverages while on vacation there. Lisa Caruso said they had received a phone call stating that Vittorio was sick and minutes later they received another call informing them that he had died. Vittorio’s older brother, Frank, told the New York Post that his  brother was “very healthy” prior to leaving for vacation. “He went to the doctor before he left, and he had no problems. I spoke to the doctor. He called me when he found out he died, and he said he did not see anything wrong before he left,” Frank said. Autopsy results are expected to be provided to the family sometime on Monday.
