#OriginalRollCall #SORC Sunday 14th December

Can’t find a way to write this that doesn’t sound like a twee bromide but genuinely, if your end of year review is that you survived painful things happening in your life & the world, stayed empathetic in an inhospitable environment & treated yourself & others decently then that’s achievement enough

🧵 Is it a super flu year? Who knows, but I think the current reporting is stupid. A pissed off thread using data. Firstly - here are today's headlines and some from the last 3 years... spot the difference. 1/10

I make unique cat sofas, lap mats for cats, and foot stools (for humans but cats will use them as cat thrones) You can find my shop on Etsy craftysharp.etsy.com

This is breathtaking.

Last posting Dec 15th. www.folksy.com/shops/quilterdown Lots of loveliness in my shop. Free postage on cushion covers & lavender hearts & discounts on selected quilts. #handmade #smallbusiness

It's been a long time since I recorded an episode of Tea and Sanctuary, but heaven knows we all need some sanctuary and zero stakes stuff in these dark days. Totally unedited with ropey voice, as I explain within the episode, along with why it started today! teaandsanctuary.com/e/advent-202...

Essential reading (whole thread) - you’d rather be working than on PIP! If you think otherwise, it is because you have never had to have it or help someone apply for it! #PIP #Disability #ChronicPain

Politicians - especially of the right - like to say how they would curtail benefits to balance the books. This is what it's like to be on the receiving end of that rhetoric. Worth reading to the very end

This petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy already has over 30,000 signatures. Let’s get it to 100,000 this week. Please sign and share 🙏 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

This seems to be rattling along, at long last If you haven’t already, please sign and share

What do you think of me doing an Advent Calendar of JMDF projects and material?

Thank you so very much to everyone who has reposted and donated, it's ever so kind. I'm not there yet, so if you could possibly help, I'd be really grateful.

I'm sorry to do this yet again, but I really need help. I require an urgent colonoscopy, which has to be done privately. That costs money, which I don't have. If you could possibly see your way clear to reposting or donating, I would be most grateful. 4fund.com/k6xfac

Saturday15th November #OriginalRollCall #SORC Good morning weekenders!

The real Meic, on whom I based The Dog with the Golden Eyes, was gentle enough for kitten-sitting. Readers say: 'This book is absolutely delightful. Whether you are in your early 70's like me or 10 yrs old like my granddaughter, it has everything.' From Amazon.

Good morning and happy Sunday 🐴 🥰

I see James Watson has died. What did Watson discover? Rosalind Franklin's lab notes. Only we spell it 'S-T-E-A-L' these days.

⭐A repost or a £ for this perfect baby would be amazing, please and thank you.⭐

I'm terribly sorry, but I have to ask for your assistance again. Marmite, my cat, urgently needs vet visits, medicines, and a probable operation. I'm beside myself with worry at the moment. Any help in the form of donations or reposts would be most gratefully received. 4fund.com/pp2gmh

Planet: am too hot now really much too hot stop pls tnx China: uh yes but no but infrastructural hegemony Trump: something something animals IQ test drug boats asylum Labour: let’s tax EVs it seems like the perfect time Ecosystems: I might just retire

Zack Polanski IS our Mamdani without a doubt. We've got 3½ years. Help us make it happen! 💚💚💚 join.greenparty.org.uk

Do please consider giving this a share. It honestly is a nice little Christmas story, genuinely for readers of 7-70+. And now it's out in English and French, it's great reading practice for learners of either language.

It's brilliant and exciting to see Zohran Mamdani elected. More leaders like him please, and fewer like Cuomo, Schumer and the rest of the oligarch-pleasing, hope-destroying, election-losing, right-centrist political class.

So much loveliness in my Folksy shop. Handmade quilts using vintage & reclaimed fabrics. Perfect presents. I would love it if you popped in to have a look www.folksy.com/shops/quilterdown

🤦Scaling back the COVID vaccine rollout at this time is bizarre! @profstevegriffin.bsky.social 💉COVID-19 vaccination could provide protection from serious COVID illness over winter! 😢Many are ineligible! 🤷This is not a clinical decision - it’s a policy (financial) choice. inews.co.uk/news/health/...

Next general election is relatively simple: If you oppose racism and the deepening of divisions in our society because they make Britain weaker not stronger, vote tactically for whichever candidate can block Reform. All other considerations come behind this need. 🗳️

It's that moment again for National Trust members to vote to keep the entryists out. Quick and easy to vote and please do so by 31st of October Quick Vote link keeps the AstroTurfers out. Then share. Thank you. secure.cesvotes.com/V3-3-0/nt25/...

Important lesson learned... 🧵 And a warning to others. I've known about & been v careful of the risk of Carbon Monoxide in confined area all my life, camping from childhood. Just boiled kettle on gas camp stove in van, didnt open door but opened roof vent. CO alarm went off within 2mins. 1/4

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home. I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

I’m absolutely exhausted in the best possible way. I love us. We did it! #NoKings
