As of July, 2018, we were supposed to get a thread emoji. In this era of divisiveness and uncertainty, this might seem pretty trivial, but I beg to differ.
Emojis are clearly one of the small joys of life for many, and a thread emoji would just - well - feel good, would it not?

The thread emoji is supposed to look like these across different apps. |
Now, I'm not advocating for a particular political slant. Honest. I just want my thread emoji.
Still, with drums pounded relentlessy from both the left and the right, ala MSNBC and FOX, I can't help but wonder; could this be a vast left-wing conspiracy, intended to undermine the largely conservative group of quilters, sewists, and VSM enthusiasts? Mwhahaha... only the elite knows what's good for you, and a thread emoji just won't do!
Or is this subversion from the right, a reminder that a new emoji represents change, and change ain't gonna make America great again. Conventional thinking would suggest that a thread emoji is far more likely to be utilized by women, and some of those gals have been really stirring the pot lately. Those weird pink hats aren't knitting themselves.
I'm off the rails.
I've jumped the shark tank.
I just want my thread emoji!
So far, the only place I can invoke it is on Twitter, a platform I find useless since I'm not concerned with celebrities or incendiary political tweets. I don't even have the app on my phone! I just logged into my web account and jammed the code into a tweet and it worked.

I'm sending this angry note to Google. Seriously. Grrr. |
As of this writing, the 2018 midterm elections are approaching fast. Regardless of party or ideology, let's all band together and demand our thread emoji. We need a common cause we can agree on.
