Knitting, but for People
I wasn't really expecting to have to stop a guy from bleeding out when I took on a favor for a friend, but here we are...
I've come to the conclusion that, if I'm going to do any more of these "favors," I'm going to need to be a bit more prepared than I was that day. I took a quick course online for first aid practices, but I think something about the experience I had made things stick a lot more than they ought to for spending that little time on it.
I'm confident that, if anything like that comes up again, I'll have an easier time getting whoever I'm working with patched up.
Alas, all this drama is reflecting poorly in my program. I'm not quite sure I'm able to give the art I'm making the attention it deserves, these days. Plus, I heard that someone saw a look-alike in the Boston area; I'd best be careful not to stand out too much, at least not when we're pulling a sneaky on any upstanding citizens, y'know?
The Sons of Salem
We swear to secure our people against the wickedness and evil of the invisible world.
We swear to aid the afflicted.
We swear to stay ever vigilant and seek out the abominable witchcrafts committed in this country.
We humbly pray to be blessed by God to hold all those who consort with the Devil accountable. Amen
—Opening and closing prayer for Sons of Salem meetings.
The Sons of Salem is a loosely-organized conservative populist movement in the United States that preaches violent opposition to anything they perceive as witchcraft, demonic, or monstrous.
Blowhard podcaster Ted Gundy and former general of the mercenary group “Hognose,” Roland Rush, founded the movement in 2010 after a series of violent werewolf attacks and unexplained, supernatural murders in Tennessee. Memberships grew quickly, stoked by Ted’s fiery doomsday rhetoric on his podcast "Truth Seekers" and the aspiration of the masculine power embodied by Roland.
Although they speak of duty, honor, and maintaining the “natural order” of things, the Sons of Salem are driven by fear. They collect guns and appear at protests en-masse as a way of easing the all-consuming terror of their powerlessness. At the same time, they have conditioned themselves to respond to fear with “strength” (read: violence).
