@wombat37.bsky.social I just want you to know I’m thinking of you, and remind you how loved you are.

@wombat37.bsky.social hope you’re having as good a day as one can hope. You’re in my thoughts!

In essence: juries are important for what decisions they prevent others from making.

Fixed up the cuff of a beloved hoodie using a knockoff speed darner from AliExpress. Very much would like a speeddarner from Ministry of Mending now! Unpicked the seam to repair hole with a patch, and then used blanket stitch around the cuff to reinforce some ropey bits then resewed the hem.

Growing concerned that Boo Boo might be the world's most photogenic kitten.

@wombat37.bsky.social what’s for brekkie?

@wombat37.bsky.social saw this, thought of you

Happy #Halloween folks! My pumpkin this year is quite expressive given it doesn’t have a mouth!

Nothing to see here, your party is totally on track for 100s of MPs. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I’m seeing a lot of Labour supporters on here badgering trans folk to vote for their party again because Reform might be even worse than they are. Give it a rest - Labour represent nothing but cruelty, segregation and oppression to me. I will never vote for a party that means me harm.

The British press in all its ignorant, blinkered, navel-gazing, entitled glory here Note to Metro fact-checkers: she’s Ireland’s third woman president, lads

I should add that the judgment is very well written. I felt quite emotional reading the final sections, which contain the findings of fact. This is also the first time that AP, Garçon and Nicot v France has been considered in full by our domestic court, rather than merely mentioned.

Can anyone recommend a UK based Queer/FLINTA+ owned jeweller/maker of rings? #QueerOwned #QueerBusinesses #Jewellery #HandMade #CustomRings #lgbtq #SmallBusiness

@dropout.tv Polite accessibility request for the next season of Crowd Control - could you reconsider the typeface used for on screen text/reduce/remove the green red white motion effect? It’s a VERY difficult typeface to read for many folks, made even more difficult by the animation effect.

It has come to my attention that many of you have been sharing this photo of Streeting and Mandelson widely. Please remember that Wes Streeting does not like it being shared widely. So please do not share it widely and on every possible occasion. We wouldn’t want to upset him would we?

Damnit. This weeks episode of Strange New Worlds has me sobbing.

Sex Matters has deleted his page from its website - but the internet never forgets. web.archive.org/web/20241107...

Keir Starmer has appointed as his new Comms Director Tim Allan who was a board member of the hate group Sex Matters. It's no longer even pretending to adhere to its Manifesto promise to "remove indignities for trans people who deserve recognition and acceptance."

v good thread to show to your cis people who don’t understand the kafkaesque web of insane bureaucratic nonsense that british trans people have been trapped in for decades

here’s a version where the POV is blacked out whenever the driver takes their eyes off the road

Second week using Visible. It’s been great at showing me how little I can actually do without overdoing. This week is going to be one big crash.

Annoying grammar sticklers, now is your moment to shine. Be more like Ian.

Should workers be protected from unfair dismissal from day one? Tories & Lib Dems don’t think so. We do.

With temperatures set to reach over 30 degrees (🥵) this week, we believe that a maximum working temperature should be introduced to protect staff across the UK 🌡️ Sign the TUC petition here ✍️ http://bit.ly/4mC6Rx8 Advice and guidance ☀️ http://bit.ly/3Uq2idy

This, of course, comes after Tim Cook personally donated $1 million to Trump's inauguration fund. Since then Apple has received tariff exemptions. We're witnessing blatant crony capitalism. www.theverge.com/news/737757/...

Big shout out to Tesco who plastered every digital billboard in the centre of Nottingham with ads saying how they support Nottingham Pride and support LGBTQ+ causes all year - around - but couldn’t be bothered to actually turn up and use their stall. #NottsPride #Pride #Nottingham #Tesco

Can we just appreciate this incredible doggo at Nottingham #Pride today?

Happy International Non-Binary People’s Day!

@daughterofmercury.bsky.social a fellow meat puppet! 💜

My partner requested a slim bumbag* for when we go on holiday. 4 hours later (as a bit of cursing while making bias tape) and tada! A few mistakes and oddities (but we embrace those!) but overall very happy with it! *fanny pack for the US folks. #sewing #crafting #maker #weekendcrafting

I am SO impressed with this little Cricut iron! It’s intended for applying heat bonded decals, but for pressing seams/fabric before stitching, it heats up in ~10 seconds, small and compact and much easier to store than a full sized iron.

Not especially a fan but this is worth pointing out Ball's in Oasis's court BBC News - Black Sabbath's final performance raised £140m, director says - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We have had a report saying two women walking up to a protest today at BAe Samlesbury were stopped by Lancashire Police and advised to remove their t-shirts that say 'Free Palestine', as it may "breach the proscription order". And so it begins.

May I present my latest nerdery! A home made, Home Assistant based weather station comprising of an anemometer, temperature and humidity and pluviometer. A combination of zigbee and wifi/mqtt sending data from the sensors back to homeassistant.

I was at Parliament today lobbying my MP. THIS is what the ladies toilets look like by Westminster Hall… Notice the full floor to ceiling individual cubicle doors… Note how everyone has ‘dignity and privacy’ without the need to ban trans women! #UniteForTransRights

Do we get to vote which continent?

Now is a moment to reshare this video

"I asked chatGPT" well I spun around in my office chair until I got dizzy

Spent this afternoon making a Dopp kit bag using a tutorial and pattern by @beckystern.bsky.social. I used an old picnic blanket which was HORRIBLE to sew as the sewing machine couldn’t grip and move the plasticised silver side!
