Happy #WorldEmbroideryDay ☺️ Some pieces from my embroidery journey 2021-2025 (the last one is still unfinished)

Incredibly slow progress on my #HandEmbroidery #ThreadPainting #WIPWednesday

The article that got #RebeccaSolnit FB account disabled. They are also taking it down if anyone else shares it.

Today I’d like to #LiftToTheSky @brokenspinearts.bsky.social for starting #LiftToTheSky an absolutely joyful, positive, community-building concept. Thank you 🥰

Bluesky is an "echo chamber" but Twitter is some kind of what, salon? An egalitarian agora where ideas are respectfully exchanged? Twitter is a smoking Cybertruck with a greasy dude reeking of Axe Body Spray offering Circus Peanuts out of the back seat. I have no interest in getting into that ride.

My personal embroidery has taken a bit of a backseat as I’m working on a community textile project with our #LongCovidSupport group at #BrainHealthBreakthroughCIC Some beautiful contributions from our group members #CommunityArts #LongCovidBanner #crochet #embroidery #CrossStitch #WIP #TextileArt

“When the Amazon is in flood - deep enough to submerge well-grown trees entirely, over an area not far short of England - the fish feed on fruit & river dolphins race through the upper branches of what should be the canopy” Colin Tudge The Secret Life of Trees #naturewriting #thesecretlifeoftrees

Harriet McBryde Johnson: disabled people take conditions that people would never ask for and make beautiful, thriving lives out of them. We have to remind ourselves that there will always be disabled people living thriving lives. There will always be moments of beauty and joy. #LongCovid #ME/CFS

My piece for this week’s #WIPWednesday is for @longcovidsupport.bsky.social Long Covid Banner. Those numbers are my lowest & highest recorded heart rates since I started wearing an armband monitor this year. A slightly rushed freehand piece because of the deadline. I’m using coton a broder thread

Beautiful 💕

How is it #WIPWednesday again already? Did a bit more on my woodland #embroidery ‘Life Force’ at the weekend but I’ve ground to a halt again. I’ll come back to it.

My current work in progress is very slow progress, but that’s ok. The embroidery style is known as thread painting, stitched with single strands of embroidery floss to build up layers of detail. It can take hours to do a very small area. #WIPWednesday #embroidery #threadpainting #textileart

UK WRITERS: You need to fill in this consulation. Govt is very clearly looking to an opt-out model of rights licensing that puts all the burden on creators instead of profiteers. It's long and boring but this is important. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Lovely to see @earthpathways.bsky.social is on here 💚 #naturewriting

It’s a beautiful morning

That’s me! 😊

Dandelions are amazing. Beautiful, strong and important. They are great for tired bumblebee rescues. This photo is from a few summers ago @dandelionappre1.bsky.social @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social

Honouring all those who were killed because of anti-trans hate & violence. Let’s work to make a safer world for the living #transgenderdayofremembrance

I just posted a column deploring Scientific American's loss of its courageous, progressive editor, Laura Helmuth. This is a sad day for science journalism. johnhorgan.org/cross-check/...

Good morning. Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

Hi everyone, good to be here. Liking the vibe 💚 So far I’ve found lots of writers & scientists which is right up my street. I also love textile art. Here’s one of my pieces-Stitching Myself Back Together. There’s a whole story behind it but that’s for another day. Photo by British Textile Biennial
