This is Wiley. He has never seen snow before and wants to make sure he gets a real good look at it. For science. 12/10 (IG: smileywileydog)

@haymarketbooks.org any plans for the paperback of this to make the UK? I've been holding out for news www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2517-n...

Fuck it I don’t care anymore

I don't know how many times it needs to be said that you absolutely should not let fucking "AI" anywhere near your legal contracts, either in creating them or evaluating them, but apparently it needs to be said at least one more time, so allow me to say it again, here, right now

The entire #Printvent advent calendar in all its glory

Many of you may not be aware that Realtime Trains has the full timetable for the Christmas Special from the North Pole to the North Pole via every U.K. station. Presents are dropped off in manageable amounts for Father Christmas to load onto his sleigh. www.realtimetrains.co.uk/service/gb-n...

Crocheted Christmas tree, Medelim, Portugal, created by 50 female textile artists who came together from all over the country for the project #WomensArt #ChristmasEve 🎄 ❄️

From Tove Jansson's book 'Moominland Midwinter'1957... Moomintroll, unlike his family who hibernate, decides to stay up through the harsh winter. It is a tale of endurance, acceptance and learning to live with the discomfort of uncertainty #womensart ❄️ #Midwinter

Every time there's a breaking story about a celeb's treatment of women, everyone in the book world asks, "Is it finally Walliams?" Well, it finally is.

Re-posting with alt text because the post accompanying this is obviously wrong, it's clearly a picture of a woman on a Crosscountry train having found a place to sit on the floor and read, her coffee cup beside her, folks queuing for the loo behind her

I think my body has entered holiday mode over a week early, I could just nap all day 😴

Furious at this. TERFs and Gender Critical people are a loud, radicalized, wealthy minority, forcing groups who've done the right thing for years into horrible positions that none of them want. Stop buying Harry Potter. Fight for your trans brothers and sisters. They'll come for you next.

Amazon, please stop asking me if books I bought month ago met my expectations. I still have unread books I bought in 2012. Be real.

Meant to post this yesterday - a bunch of us (24 in-fact) at my print studio (Oxford printmaker’s cooperative) made wee prints for an advent calendar to fund raise for the workshop. Here is day 1, I’ll post the rest as a thread. I think this is a Lino cut (it’s a turkey🦃 )

Hey @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social just wondering if the Union Jack flag just erected on cutteslowe roundabout is official or just some sad flag shaggers?

Iceland’s music scene is erupting, and the world should listen www.huckmag.com/article/icel...

I've managed to pretty much remove amazon from any of my shopping but I can't find any alternative for sending stuff within Australia, from the UK. Anyone have any ideas? Australian online stores have always been difficult to use from the UK.

Looking forward to YALC tomorrow, well its on Saturday but I'm headed to London tomorrow (and only have to work half a day, YAY).

To make up for the afore mentioned disappointing venue change for January's gig, have just found out that Rival Consoles is playing Oslo the weekend we're there, so 2 gigs one trip (yet again cheaper than UK)

Don't want to sound like an old fogey, but I specifically booked a seated ticket for a gig/performance in January, just been emailed to say the venue has now been changed to one that is standing only :(

it’s not just about silencing excellent political coverage; it’s specifically about silencing political coverage of gender & reproductive rights issues, written by & for young women. From MAGAs perspective, Teen Vogue is the worst kind of meaningful journalism possible: the kind aimed at young women

READ the REVIEWS!! 👇 #BestSeller 📚 #Mostgifted 🎁 The new Womensart book 'Reframing Women Printmakers' also support this account & the promotion of women artists - so thank you! xx 💕  At a bookshop of your choice....

Somewhat disappointed that one of the HP fanfic authors is being promoted at the book festival I'm going to in November, technically its the host organisation but they've been promoting it across both organisation's platforms and emailing attendees of both to "ask her a question"

I’m sorry but these sound like vintage esoteric euphemisms for “homosexual”

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

I recently read Reframing Women Printmakers and can only describe it as essential reading, wish I’d had something like that as an undergrad

Ok I am at a loss with this 🤷‍♀️ my cyanotypes just keep ‘washing out’, the image is there exposed on the paper and the second I rinse the image disappears - what is the most likely cause? 🧵 #worldcyanotypeday #cyanotype

If I have to explain to you why it's a bad idea to use a machine that makes shit up 15-80% of the time AND destroys the environment AND contributes to rising fascism and genocide AND puts brilliant skillful creatives out of work by stealing their work, then we're already speaking different languages

Why is trying to find a specific cycling route through oxford so difficult? used multiple sites this morning and all want to send me directly through the city centre 😮‍💨(FWIW I'm trying to find a route between South Parks Road area and St Clements that i'm sure I've been before but its not on a map)

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

In popular culture, menopause is typically associated with hot flushes. In our Menopause: What's Changed? exhibition, we invite visitors to drop a pebble if they experience any of these symptoms. And it turns out, hot flushes are much less common than brain fog or mood symptoms!

My local council @oxfordcitycouncil.bsky.social advertises a service for textile recycling including worn and damaged items so I arranged a collection for some items that have holes in and the company that collects them emails me & contradicts the council webpage so they’re now going in the bin 👏 🙄
