Here is the Border Morris dancing pigeon you ordered.

Another wildfire overnight in the big city park so I'm channeling my anger and grief into finally putting together a material list and list of tutorials for building a DIY air purifier with materials available in the UK

There's a particular branch in our local park that I try and take a picture of every week, to get me outside and stay connected to time passing etc - and somewhere in the last month, between one week and the next, a thumb-thick bramble has appeared out of nowhere right in front of it

I have a variety of spinning on the go right now but this is my actual Tour de Fleece yarn. Which will certainly outlast TdF, because I'm not fast and actually bought a decent amount. Weird to go back to a woolen spin after lots of home-processed mostly worsted on the spindles!

Cone season

I guess it was inevitable but wow ads on discord feels pretty grim

When I say "would you still love me if I was a worm" please know I am referring specifically to these baby dinosaurs aka "worms" drawn by a particularly imaginative bestiary artist in the late 13th century (Wren R.14.9 104v) mss-cat.trin.cam.ac.uk/Manuscript/R...

How it's going:

American Bittern, 12x24" Acryclic on canvas I love bittern's derpy display faces! I finally saw my first one back in June after 2 years of looking. I was so happy with how this came out :D

Move over getting excited about new socks, getting excited about new curb cuts is the new benchmark for middle age For real though, it'll make a spot that's always tight and awkward so much more manageable for everyone, I'm hyped

I am DONE carding the Ouessant 🎉 🎉 🎉 Honestly at this point I'm so ready to be finished with the spinning on this project, dunno if I should take a break or power through the last couple rolags. Just seems counterproductive to start tdf soured on the craft

god the northern accents make this 100% better

Hey Bayeux Tapestry fans have I made the platform game for you? I’m sure someone else will have done this before but well now I have too… bayeuxgo.live

Prehistoric pal for a last minute junicorn! Inspired by that Lascaux horse cave painting. #junicorn

A few months ago, locals directly blocked an eviction of a traveller site in Granton. It was a success, but the risk is still present and there's an ongoing court case. A petition showing public support has been identified as a way to help this ongoing struggle.

I got some linen trousers from TKMaxx a while back and because they immediately started pilling I was curious about the brand. Turns out their original retail price was most likely $150-$200* I'm so annoyed that even stuff that's nominally high end and expensive is now such low quality!

I swear at the start of this week the local mulberry trees had only the tiniest little green berries, and by today most of them are more than halfway to ripe

My final #Kaijune! @alpacascribbles.bsky.social 's rompt overwhelming heat seems a bit too apt!

Good morning from Turtle

Along with the prior repost of UK being halfway to net zero and Australia getting free electricity from renewables there are a lot of these quiet victories going on. The fossil fuel industry is in full thrash and thunder trying to assert how irreplaceable it is but inch by inch we’re getting there.

This was commissioned by a trad institution for their anniversary (very cool client tbh) but didn't get used in the end. I especially enjoy the uileann piping eagle, who's pose I had to get the experts to weigh in on

I was reminded that I haven’t shared this cutie in a while. Dandelion Opossum - 2019 [ #art #illustration #botanimals ]

happy #makeaterriblecomicday everyone, iti s too hot for effort but that's ok

Time to bring back my most liked art post, now with prr prr prr

make something terrible!

more of this real journalism pls #SciArt #comic

Got to dunk myself in the firth this eve and have regained some humanity

This is Starmer’s legacy. The Labour Party will harm a huge number of sick and disabled people and centrists will talk about how “decent” the monster was. Sickening.

Channeling my inner Lang Shining with all my might, painting with lapis pigment on silk. 😤

Let's talk hydration, my lovelies. Up to 3,000 people a year die from the heat in England alone, and this year is going to be the hottest yet. Disabled and older folk are at the highest risk. I'm seeing a lot of advice which assumes everyone is young and healthy, or makes assumptions about diet.

I have added more places to the list of Heritage Sites that are cold and free! I'd like to add more- particularly interested in hearing from any museums and Irish sites. maps.app.goo.gl/nJqcSWWfEi3H...

37 degrees in London for three days is it? YIKES. Time to review the Shade the UK list of ideas again to see if there’s anything further I can do on the flat. (Main thing is getting at least a temporary canopy up over the sunny patio, I suspect) So many ideas: www.shadetheuk.com/overheating-...

As the summer heat is starting to kick in already here in the Northern Hemisphere General reminder that many common medications (including antidepressants and allergy meds) Can decrease your body's tolerance for hot weather and/or increase your risk of sunburn

It's almost half eleven and the sunset just keeps on going. Happy solstice

Did someone say goblins??? 👀

I am way too late to get any specific Tour de Fleece yarn but I'm now getting excited about the idea - should I get some Shetland for a laceweight ring shawl, or a whole bunch of John Arbon Yarnadelic for no particular project OR really splurge on a Hilltop Cloud braid
