I have sold a hat and feel that my life has value again.

Launched my first little collection of knitwear and actually put some banners on the website slipstitchldn.co.uk/collections/...

Digital Eclipse 'remastered' Mortal Kombat and they've messed things up so during Johnny Cage's fatality you can now see the crew men with the blood hose on the right

These kits sold so fast I couldn't actually tell most people about them so I've got another batch on the way and I would love you to pre-order them so I can send them straight out when they arrive 🐑🦝🦊🦫🐦🦙🐷 slipstitchldn.co.uk/collections/...

Nothing says feminism like forcing women to do something they have been vocal about not wanting to do.

Feminist institutions going “yeah no actually women are just walking wombs please dont hit us billionaire“

The article explicitly notes WI had had a trans-inclusive policy *since the 1970s*!

Been going back and forth in my mind about it since I saw the news last night and have concluded that, yes, I do expect organisations to stand up and fight transmisogynistic legal challenges - even if it means that organisation ceases to exist.

This capitulation to transphobia is so so disappointing. I was so proud of their inclusive stance. This is pure cowardice.

“AI is clearly sticking around so you have to get used to it” wrong. I don’t have to get used to shit. I am a practiced hater and I can keep this going for decades if I am required to

Hi I have tried vlogging, please clap www.youtube.com/watch?v=ew2t...

Great culture can save lives. Literally. Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Bought a frame for my Kallax so it no longer sits on the floor like student digs. Unfortunately I do not have a Kallax but its predecessor, the Expedit, so I am a woman with a dream and an electric drill.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.

Eric Adams is a weird enough guy that this headline could refer to the country or the bird

My favourite bit of the Thanksgiving parade is spotting Julia on the Sesame Street float in her ear defenders because she had autism and it‘s very loud.

reality show called 'We Can Always Tell' where you drop terfs on an island and tell them that one of them is secretly trans. every episode they have to vote on who it is and obsessively transvestigate one another - her height! her forehead! she's suspiciously perfect, it's surgery! they are all cis

This mural has gone up in Kingston, ostensibly for Christmas but AI has ensured it's actually to celebrate the return of our dark lord Cthulhu

My colleague @libbybrooks.bsky.social spoke to some of the knitters of Shetland about the fair isle and steeking controversies touched off by the competitive knitting show www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

BBC really burying the lede there

Solidarity with @pcsunion.bsky.social workers at the British Library. 300 workers on strike. Some of them having to take second jobs or taking out loans just to be able to survive. A Pay "award" below inflation is a pay cut. Unacceptable. Solidarity - and keep organising! ✊🏼

Going to a halloween party as the spectre of invisible disability, the minority you can join at any time

*as a contestant on a baking show* before you critique my dessert you should know i have a gun

Look, I know this is naff, but I am simply obsessed with Ned Fulmer’s post Try Guys fiasco. Not only does he have his embarrassing flop podcast, he’s just started a new channel the conceit of which is TRYING things.

Five days into a pain flare, pray 4 Rosie

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

If you are a tradesperson coming to my flat, you will get a small feline apprentice. She's done electrics, plastering, and now plumbing.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.
