For many years I have been posting little observations online. What you may not know is that for many years, artists have been illustrating them - for no reason other than they wanted to respond. Below is a thread of some of these beautiful drawings because they should be seen 🧵

🚨Yesterday, the Government announced the Immigration and Asylum Bill. The Bill includes many harmful changes to the asylum system, which will cause huge harm to women seeking safety here. This continued focus on punishment and enforcement is deeply concerning. Read our response below 👇 1/🧵

I'll be loitering in Chester Cathedral from 13:00-18:00 tomorrow. Come find me and write a little poem.

if your 'defence' of women involves invasive and scientifically unfounded testing to determine who qualifies, you're not defending women, you're defending the patriarchy

Please do support this campaign (link in 2nd post). Pavements are for humans.

The IDF has killed 235 Palestinian children in the West Bank – plus another five killed by settlers themselves – since 7 October 2023 with what activists call a ‘licence to kill’. Devastating but vital reporting: www.theguardian.com/world/2026/j...

The annexe at the health centre is in a different time zone. Photo taken at 12:55 today.

Excellent news. This govt has done some really good stuff. If only it weren't overshadowed by the desperate pandering to the far right on immigration, disability benefits, trans rights, Palestine ...

It is already cooler in here than it was at 11 pm last night.

I think I sweated through my pillows last night, so have put them through the machine and they’re now hanging on the line to dry - should take about 5 minutes!

If you’re in the Church of England, please ask reps in your diocese to vote for our General Synod motion next week, on celebrating ND people in the church & dismantling the barriers we face - by my great colleagues in the Neurodiversity Working Group. (Supported by research I was proud to help with)

Reading this ahead of the next @svhpodcast.bsky.social episode. Also a comment on today’s weather!

I’ve begun greeting people with “How are you melting?”

Regardless of what your dog will try to tell you, no dog has ever died of missing a walk two days in a row!!! But a whole lot of dogs have died of heatstroke, SIT DOWN AND STAY INSIDE

The moment we start debating the “worth” of others, the fascists win. We all have value. You don’t need to produce for capitalism in order to matter. You don’t need to be healthy, rich or productive. Every person matters. The ruling class benefits when treat people as expendable.

Going on a brief excursion from the Shire to Hundred Acre Wood for a smackerel.

Someone is using equipment that sounds like a dentist’s drill. 🙉

Today is World Refugee Day. Here’s a poem called ‘Refugees’.

Today requires second breakfast at the very least - I may go full hobbit.

Sleep stood me up last night. I gave up waiting for it just before 6. Today will be powered by chocolate.

this is a fundraiser for some friends that are extremely dear to me and have been there for me through multiple very rough patches. unfortunately they've been completely unable to catch a break from shit lately so please consider throwing some money their way if you can afford it

I just heard about this and if you are Oxon based, even if (especially if) you’ve never needed this service, I urge you to write in and protest closing it. Budget balancing must not be at expense of women.
