I have started a Substack and it’s both fun and scary. If you are there, or curious about it, I am enjoying it. Almost everything I come across is quality reading. Here’s mine in case you are interested. orsola.substack.com?r=6f2j9&utm_...

One of the most outrageous cases of femicide in Italy. I suggest you search for the full story in case you haven’t followed. Abominable doesn’t even begin to describe it.

Things like “…a creature with self knowledge and an appetite for destruction”how Henry Gee describes Homo Sapiens in his new book. Oh how I love words well written. #declineandfallofthehumanempire

In an excited state of anticipation as I start @endofthepier.bsky.social Decline And Fall Of The Human Empire. His Very Short History Of Life On Earth a firm favourite. Already hooked in and I am only halfway through the prologue. 🙏🏼

Merci ♥️ @carolinehamelle and @beaulemagazine for such a lovely and intimate piece on my crochet and me. And especially thank you to @damienfcuypers for the adorable illustration - I see myself. Crochet life lesson number 4 coming soon. 🧵🧶🪡

SUPER PROUD OF THIS EXTENSIVE INTERVIEW IN ART TRIBUNE 🩵 grazie Margherita Cuccia www.artribune.com/progettazion...

Thank you Vogue Australia

Toxic masculinity is ‘joyless and depressing’: Caitlin Moran www.channel4.com/news/toxic-m...

A new study by Chaehyeong Lee and crew has confirmed that our oceans are getting hotter, and no, it’s not a tropical vacation vibe. Thanks to increased stratification, the ocean's surface is holding onto more heat. The North Atlantic is completely off the charts. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Yesterday for a moment I felt respite talking about my grandma’s dress. Hundreds of comments + advice on my other feed on ways to wear it, ways to love it. Gentle + fun. We women need to organise unlike men do. Find our own way. Our capacity for deep empathy is needed rn, in this shitshow.

More about my “later on” clothes. Items kept waiting for when I know I will like them. This was my granny’s, worn by my mum, lives in her wardrobe. Every time I come I try to love it but something’s amiss. Next year, next year. #lovedclotheslast

A shaman once told me that my spirit animal is a wolf. I think it’s a turtle. 🐢

Me + You = better than Me - You. This post of mine (originally a video) is doing the rounds on IG. Reposting part of it in here too. Also: finally this place is alive to the sound of words! Thank you and hello to new followers and new community opening up. Fuck the Billionarses.

On this COVID-19 Day of Reflection, we remember those we’ve lost in Peckham and across the UK. Their absence is felt daily. Let’s honour their memory by strengthening our resolve to learn from the pandemic and build a better future.

In Art Tribune 📢 and couldn’t be more proud.

Disgustingly true.

To consume means to wear, to wear again, and then again. And then, when things are properly used, they become worn, and torn, and so, because I am a consumer, I might repair them, or I might not. #lovedclotheslast #longlivemyclothes #hellosunday

“…divert money earmarked for green investment in the UK to the defence industry”. Sometimes anger chokes me.

Yes.

For those (few) who read me from London - a unique opportunity to meet four wonderful designers. Tomorrow 26/2/25 in Peckham from 11am to 7pm. Come shop, support, discover, fall in love with Clara Chu, Katy Mason, Pinanki and Silvia Acién. 💚

Our evolution. Our layer on this planet. Our manual dexterity gone rogue: we make too much. What a shame.

In Hello magazine discussing the power of seamstresses and why repairing your clothes is an act of resistance Thank you Tania Leslau for an interesting conversation.

Every morning I avoid the news, remind myself that I am a droplet waiting to become a river and then an ocean, and that I find solace in doing small things right. Everyday I start with my clothes, showing my intentions. To keep, to repair, to care.

Yayyyyy 💋😘💋😘💋 it’s beginning to fill up in here. I can see some people I recognise !!! Hello hello hellooooooooo ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Important

Hundreds of posts on Glenn Martins becoming creative director of Margiela. I want to see the same sycophantic fervour when machine operators, sourcing managers or expert seamstresses move up in life. We worship at the wrong altars. People in normal positions make products and profits possible.

Yesterday morning I told my son I was pretty sure Trump was going to reinstate tiktok quickly quickly as a way to ingratiate himself to millions of people. Stuntman.

Persevering. I guess journeys without algorithms take longer.

Indeed. Adding Amazin to that list, just because.

Celebrating the kind of aggression that will wipe us and several other creatures off the face of planet earth?

Also back on YouTube.

Look!!!!! 😁😁😁 the second question: I am the answer!

Ok. Help. How does one have actual conversations in here? I am gaining followers (thank you 🥹😃🙏🏼) but that’s about it.

The way we buy and care for our clothes is our responsibility, our decision, and we should take it with people and nature in mind. Our modern day ready-to-waste has an undeniable effect on our planet and other people’s wellbeing, and even if no longer ours, we should share that burden.

All I wanted for xmas ….

An investigation connects over 100 fashion brands with fracked oil 😡 www.corporateknights.com/category-cir...

“These are the sneakers cool girls are wearing, so you should get a pair if you want to fit in.” Meanwhile, the real cool girls are out here imploring you not to support exploitative corporations and fighting for fair wages for workers in sweatshops.

I went to see gladiator ll yesterday. From now on, as well as boycotting Amazon and Coca Cola I will be adding to my list Hollywood film featuring toxic masculinity and excessive gratuitous grunting.

It’s that time of the year again, when we are asked to buy and spend without stopping to think. Resist! Show your support to the causes and organisations that matter, avoid all brands that disregard the health and wellbeing of our planet and all its creatures. @greenpeaceuk act.gp/4g59pBa.

Prince Andrew: The Musical?

Billionarses taking over the world. It pains me to say that I thought we were better than this at being people.

English, Italian, French and German. All the languages you can read my book in.

At the moment this social feels like talking to myself in the mirror. Not interesting. It feels like I am on a walk, I know that there are many many others on the same route, I can hear them murmuring, but I am not meeting anyone to share parts of my journey with. Yet. Attempting.
