I agree with Missy

RIP RBG...THANKS DOC LORI

Forget the idiots. Keep sharing.

It's all good! You're so right about this - I hope those collars are saved, displayed, & honored. 💯 No matter what you say or how you say it, you're going to get crybaby pushback. The only way to avoid it is to remain silent, and that's not good either. So, "Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter" - Dr Seuss ❤️

I’ve tried to observe them over the years, as a Knitter & crafter I see a lot of crocheted and some may look to be Native American bead work 💗💗💗💗💖 RIP RBG

We love your work and the person that you are, beautiful, smart, funny and a loving soul. Don't ever apologize for that.

I thought it a brilliant idea for her collars to go to a museum!

Didn't see or hear it but I am so sorry you had to go through backlash. This world is crazy anb on fire these day. 🙁

I fully agree RBG's collars should be archived and the Smithsonian would be the perfect place for them. No matter what any individuals opinions are there is no denying that she is of cultural and historical significance. I was fascinated with the article you had posted. I even shared it on my feed. ❤

I did not see it as political at all. I find it strange anyone would. I forgot about trolls. They would turn a cute animal picture into hate. Please don't worry. I want you to heal up and get well again. 💝 You are one of my top favorite people I follow. Take in all the love from your followers and ignore the trolls.

It was a great post! Items of previous generations is what you are about. A very appropriate post.

Just keep being yourself Lori, no apologies needed

You shouldn't have to apologize. I have different beliefs than her but I still admire her and what she has done for women of this country. I would be very interested in learning about her collars and the significance behind them. Keep doing what you do Dr Lori and God Bless

I thought it was a great idea! Let it go..haters goin' hate....

Geez. You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. Keep up the good work and don’t let any negativity get to you.

I can see that this response by some really got to you, but honestly please try not to own this. You gave us a professional take on important Americana historical items. You weren’t out of your scope.

Dr. Lori, u continue doing ur great work. U should not worry about walking on egg shells, as what u stated was not on the basis of what political party u stood for. What u did was informed us -as u always do- on the history behind it. I enjoy the historian information u bring about objects, the value it has, what the item is made of, what to look for and so much more. I agree those famous collars deserve to be in a museum, it is part of history.

Dr.Lori. it wasn't political. It's historically correct and the right thing to do. Please don't beat yourself up

Loved the article about the collars. Not political - but now historical. This is what you do. History on artifacts and antiques. Thank you for doing what you do!!!!

Your post regarding the collars was exceptionally interesting. I had no idea they had meanings for her. I think the decenting collar was a statement of negativity and she should not have defined it as such. But then that's her right to freedom of speech. She did many positive things for women which I applaud. I did not always agree with her but then that's my right to free speech as well. Dr Lori, thank you for your post.

I am not sure what you political views are. You are entitled to have your point of view. Bottom line you are at the top of the industry and a valuable resource. It is so unfortunate people are so worked up they take every minute opportunity to turn everything to rake some over the coals. You are fantastic!!

Why do we live in a time where we have to constantly feel you have to apologize for what we say what we do get a backbone Dr Lor.

No apology necessary! This is nonsense... being offended is a CHOICE! You did nothing wrong! Last I heard, this is still a free speech country! Love ya Dr. Lori!

It wasn't a political post. Unfortunately someone hijacked it and tried to make it political.
