I downloaded the Folksy app so I could upload photos directly, but it's not working. Ergo, crochet dump.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

Farage wanting to kick people out of the country because they migrated here made me angry and made me think about which best of British people and things wouldn't have happened were it not for the brilliance of immigration to the UK.

“An emotional research team became tearful as they described how data shows the disease was slowed by 75% in patients.” What an absolutely incredible, joyous achievement for everyone involved. Hurrah for science and scientists!

In case it needs restating, autism isn't caused by Tylenol, or vaccines, or woke parents or whatever. It's not a disease, and it doesn't need curing. Eugenicists and fascists love to think of ways to eradicate us because they are unwilling to understand us. But we will outlive them.

Around the time Dad died, I got a road tax reminder which, for obvious reasons went straight out of my head. I've been tidying up the tip that was my living room and came across the letter. Suffice to say, that's now sorted. Could have been interesting!

I really need art of this moment in A Certain Darkness: Volker has dressed in everything but his jacket. He’s found a apron from god knows where and thrown it on. The unicorns and rainbows dotting the fabric are at odds with his all-black getup.
