Trying the two at a time thing, although to be honest I’m not suffering from second sock syndrome at the moment so I think I might return to one at a time after these. I think I prefer getting through each section quickly. 🧶 #knitting #knittedSocks

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

It's so small and round and spunky. 🥰 Winter Wren #WrensDay #birds #nature #wildlife #photography

Appalled to your core by what Trump's fascist henchmen are doing in the United States? Well, read for yourself: Nigel Farage wants to repeat it in the United Kingdom.

More socks, unblocked and in crappy lighting. You’re welcome. I tried a Strong heel. It worked fine and I think it’ll fit well, but it was a bit boring to knit. #knitting #knittedSocks 🧶

Trying out my new bendy needles for socks. I think I like. Very easy to manage and having the front of the sock on one needle and the back on the other keeps things simple. #knitting #knittedSocks

Share a bird photo you’ve taken

A joke for the history buffs.

The absolute accuracy of this.

What kind of person supports Starmer at this point? Who is he even for?

I made myself a little row counter which is very handy. No numbers on it unless I can come up with something clever, but it works and it’s quite pretty #knitting

Ready for me to finish the toe tomorrow. In the meantime I imagine groups of teenaged socks out drinking will be suitably terrified if they stumble upon this in the forest… #socks #knitting #knittedSocks

Why are so few people reporting on this? www.lemkininstitute.com/single-post/...

I got a cheap second hand book of sock patterns and the language is so antiquated I thought it must have been first published in the fifties or something… but it was 2014! The fact that I *am* currently knitting socks for “my man” is neither here nor there… #knitting #knittedSocks

I finished them, my first in ages…and they fit in a very satisfyingly comfy but supportive way 🧶 #knitting #knittedSocks The old addiction may be back, I have plans…

I don't want to share any private space with a terf. They would violate my dignity because they don't mind their own business. I've said this before but I think now, more than ever, we should have separate rooms for them. Utter weirdos

We are now in a very unfortunate world where if the BBC, which already has low levels of trust in the trans community, makes a (let's be charitable) mistake in its reporting it would rather dig in and misinform than correct the mistake. We will report the matter to Ofcom and also take legal advice.

before renee, there was viola. their stories have so much in common, it’s like history itself is screaming at us to pay attention. honor their memories, fight like hell with fire in your belly and love in your heart.

The first knitted sock off my needles in years. Very extremely exciting. #knittedSocks #knitting 🧶 I shall now wear it while I start the other one…

I’m a peculiar bird and having the other needles moving around and pointing at my eyes gives me a headache. I forget how to organise them properly for me every time there’s a gap. So here’s a reminder to me. If the next two dpns make a right angle then all is well. #knitting #dpns #knittedSocks

Transmisogyny is just this bizarre clusterfuck where people treat you like a woman, in that they talk over you, call you overly emotional, sexualise you, judge you harshly on how well you embody femininity, disbelieve you when you say you've been mistreated, all the while insisting that you're a man

With two Sarah adjacent names on these school report quotes, the peculiar sense that they’ve raided my mum’s stash is almost alarming… @sararoseg.bsky.social @sarahamero.bsky.social and @laurarichmond.bsky.social, I think we could have muttered happily around parallel trees at break. Thank you x

Ouch, very funny probably precisely because it’s so painfully familiar! #theDailyTism overcast.fm/+ABO3wJ9eUIM

Dear @rhi.bsky.social @terryandrob.bsky.social @discworldemporium.bsky.social are you aware that Granny Weatherwax is again competiting, this time against Galadriel, for 24 hours on @elbakin.bsky.social ? #discworld #terrypratchett www.elbakin.net/vote/238

A sobering thought: were Nigel Farage to become Prime Minister then the terrifying scenes from Minneapolis would become terrifying scenes here.

It seems I am knitting again… the socks drew me in… #knitting #knittedSocks

The bedside basket situation may be getting out of hand… I just considered making a basket to put some of the smaller baskets in…

🪶 With the #BirdOfTheDay theme being #MoodyFaces, alternate of #borbs, I will take the liberty of a repost of one of my favorite bird shots of last year, a pine warbler that wants to speak to the manager. #birds #photography

This book looks amazing Women’s Work, the first 20,000 years by Elizabeth Wayland www.worldofbooks.com/en-gb/produc...

Love the idea of these in today's disposable society.

A great quote from a fantastic author and human, sadly missed. #PratchettFan #TerryPratchett

Does anyone else use a thumb-nostepine? I was just getting my yarn wound to start the next sock and wondered if I was peculiar… or maybe an unrecognised genius…?!

On the assumption that everyone is currently hyper-focussed on socks, here’s another iteration of my frog socks (ribbit ribbit 🐸) #crochet #socks #crochetSocks

Mike Wazowski!

My Frankensteinian pursuit of the perfect crochet sock continues. I think I like this one even better than the other (which I think of as “twisty toes”). I came up with a construction I haven’t seen before- sc toe, sole and heel first, turn 90 degrees and blo sc. #crochet #crochetSocks #socks

he works so hard

Great. Now I’ll never get to sleep.

ICE killed a Black man, Keith Porter, 7 days before Renee Good, and I hadn't heard about it until today. His vigils went unnoticed. His life came and gone and America forgot to blink. Two Americas.
