Every city could be like this!

This morning I posted our petition to get Palantir out of our NHS and our public services. Over 40,000 people have now signed it - thank you. Please do keep sharing! you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...

Sharing my illustration for obvious reasons. I just don’t have the words to express the levels of disgust I feel for the network of sick billionaires that control & corrupt our world seemingly without any consequences. Time for the good women of the world to take over. Should I make a print of this?

I should feel surprised but I don’t anymore! We urgently need to take money out of politics now!

It’s reining cats.. I wish it was raining cats because the recent lifetime of rain and sunless skies is just too much! #caturday vibes from me today. Whether you agree or not it is definitely time for a debate on the monarchy. #abolishthemonarchy #rainingcatsanddogs #rainraingoaway #catlife

Thinking of making more protest pins but which would you buy/wear? Which message do you like? The #cat paws are many but just finished watching the most excellent #catman by David Baddiel! Also, the Norwegian #nisse was an #antifascist symbol after the Nazis banned it in occupied Norway.

Inspiration on a dreich day. Bob Cooney was a ‘radical’ politician who held anti-fascist rallies on the Castlegate in Aberdeen. He spent 13 months living in Russia studying at the Lenin Institute & returning home began organising rallies & speaking at open air meetings across the country.

Hello Glasgow, I will be seeing you tomorrow, for one day only at kelvingroveartgalleryandmuseum with teagreenevents for my second last show of the season. Hope some of you can make it along ❤️ . . . #glasgow #glasgowshoplocal #supportsmallbusiness #supportindie #festiveshopping

Something I really love & appreciate about what I do is the creative community! It’s not easy running a small business at the best of times & right now so many folk are struggling with all the pressures of making ends meet, the cost of living and especially trying to give family a “good’ Christmas.

Tabby cat Bell loves nothing better than playing with noisy toys or shiny objects, so what could be better than this! So pleased with how sweet this one has turned out! Bringing cosy cat vibes to your home this winter ❤️ Available online now. Sending worldwide again, except Europe and Ireland!

Fossil fuel companies “are way better at capturing politicians than they are capturing emissions.” @AlGore No time to wait. End Fossil Fuels. #ActOnClimate #climate #energy #renewables #voteclimate

Worms that are Celtic Knots that are worms that are Celtic Knots.. Whatever, these pink decorations will pop against the green of your tree, or look fun hanging on any door or window all year round 🪱 Had loads of fun illustrating these! They’re online here: gra-small-stories.co.uk #worms #celticknot

NEW: If you have *any* interest in the Nathan Gill story, you need to look at this. We’ve put all the dates into a timeline & it’s incredibly revealing. 1/ www.thenerve.news/p/nathan-gil...

Happy #caturday folks! My new cat baubles are here! I’m thinking of adding other cat breeds to this every year if you like them!? So far I have a Devon Rex, Siamese, Persian and Ginger. These are available in my online shop now gra-small-stories.co.uk

A curse to the woman who sat behind my daughter & me at the Music Hall last week sneezing without covering her nose! We have spent most of the last 3 days sleeping & feeling like crap! If you’re unwell please dinna go out & share yer jandies!!

Activism with badges, small acts of defiance, subtle ways of making your views known. Let’s talk #whitepoppyforpeace for a moment. I’ve worn a white poppy since my teens, understanding that there’s no glory in dying in war. War brings grief, pain & trauma with long lasting effects for generations.

Yes, I know it’s Samhain, the night to go guising & reconnect with spirits, but… I have my first Festive Fair - Tomorrow & Sunday you’ll find me at @abdnartmuseums Followed by V&A Dundee, Glasgow Kelvingrove & Bowhouse Fife. You can always find me online at gra-small-stories.co.uk

Please help! I am struggling to get my head round the rules on posting to the US! Can anyone explain it to me in really simple terms? Been trying to read the Royal Mail guidelines and my brain keeps going round in loops like a Celtic knot!

Brilliant from @bylinetimes.bsky.social but you have to wonder why #BBCNews are not covering this huge public interest story. Why are #SkyNews @itvnews.bsky.social also quiet on it. Why is Labour not instigating a full Russia influence inquiry?

Read every bit of this brilliant thread..

“When you consider the ecocide alongside the genocide, you begin to grasp the totality of the Israeli state’s attempt to eliminate both the Palestinians & their homeland” Hugely powerful from @georgemonbiot.bsky.social

New very Ltd edition boxy fit T-shirts in my online store now. I will give money from every sale to Good Law Project. gra-small-stories.co.uk If you’re going to wear a sweary, anti fascism Tshirt, the time is now!

People can be powerful!

What an article.. just wow, you have to read it to believe it all! Gyaads!

Very happy with all my new brooches! All are now available in my online shop gra-small-stories.co.uk Which one is your favourite?

In other words, 94% of those killed in Gaza since March 25 were civilians - up from 83% in the first 1.5 years of this genocidal war. Another symptom of stage 2 of the Gaza Genocide under Trump: fewer casualties so far, but targeting almost entirely civilians. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

More wiggle giggle worm fun stuff to go with my coasters and cat print coming soon.. #worms #loveworms #canofworms

Please watch or listen to the brilliant Carole Cadwalladr being interviewed by the equally fantastic Jon Stewart!https://youtu.be/vG7CvbccdVM?feature=shared

My placard to #stoprosebank #stopgazagenocide with Aberdeen Climate Action & SPSC! Overwhelmed by ignorance & hatred shown by far right. Police confiscated a lrg Palestinian flag but do nothing about Nazi saluting fascists. I don’t understand. We’re in a dark place. Please join peaceful protesting.

Had fun with these today.. anyone who follows me knows how much I love cats, how much I love alliteration & how much I love to inject a bit of humour into my work.. Thoughts please on my political cats & their messages… badges, T-shirts, patches? Hmm.. Thanks for your feedback wonderful people!

Sweary designs.. Would you like me to make some swearing brooches or other products? Would you wear them? What messages would you like to see or should I just start with these? What are you most angry about?

🥦 UK farmers face devastating crop losses, with broccoli yields down 50% due to heatwaves and climate extremes. 🚨 The climate crisis is a food security crisis. We need urgent, updated laws to protect farming and food production. 🐝 Join the campaign for the Climate and Nature Bill 👉 zerohour.uk

People are angry & want politicians who'll articulate that anger. People also understand politics isn't a zero sum game & want politicians who'll fight for them Despite all the personal insults from the multimillionaire pitched against him, @zackpolanski.bsky.social did this on #GMB

I ❤️ Sheila Hancock! #bbcbh #freepalestine

What are your favourite #scots or #doric swear words or insults? Planning a new tea towel design and would love your input! Muckle thanks!

An annual reminder that this beautiful harmless beastie is a Wood Wasp. What May look like a sting is actually an ovipositor for laying eggs. My son keeps telling me how many kids in his school are terrified of hover flies, bees and wasps so I wonder what they’d think if they saw a Wood Wasp!?

Listen to @carolinelucas.bsky.social explain why our new petition calling for a national community resilience plan is so important. If you agree, do sign it and share with your community. climatemajorityproject.substack.com/p/safer-repo...

Absolutely delighted to share a recent collaboration with Morning Glass. See Gordon’s instagram post for all details but it’s an internal memorial window for Cults Parish Church. I have worked with him a number of times & it’s always a joy to see the results! I feel my illustrations translate well.

Great turnout for #antitrump protest in #aberdeen 🧡 banners! Here’s ours. Let’s mak sure the tangerine twat knows he’s nae welcome & say aye turbines! Our taxpayers ££ could have done good not security for Trumps wee holiday! Scotland detests Trump! Another protest is planned on Mon at 3pm #menie

Can’t believe I’ll be setting up for Tall Ships Aberdeen tomorrow! Been preping for ages. These 4 decorations with scenes of our maritime history will be available from me at the event. Did you know that the 1st Greenpeace #rainbowwarrior ‘Sir William Hardy’ was built here!? Hopefully see you there!

A new cut & sew tea towel to make bunting celebrating the return of @tallshipsaberdeen to my city in a few weeks! Featuring scenes of Aberdeen, local built ships, semaphore, morse code, etc. All you need to make this is some bias binding, a sewing machine or needle & thread. gra-small-stories.co.uk

My new ‘Fash’ range is coming together. The design looks like old scientific illustrations/school posters - all numbered & named. Doric names came from a pal in a local fishing town & an old document I found. As far as I know the rest of Scotland says ‘fush’. Here is my tray. gra-small-stories.co.uk

I’m so happy to share my new addition to the Doric food family of products, a bonnie birch ply tray, made by hand in Sweden!. Gra-small-stories.co.uk . . #tray #teatray #doric #rowie #buttery #aberdeen #skirlie #seeninthedeen #aberdeenbakery #scottishwords #doricwords #scottishdesign

Bairns not Bombs! Im feeling very preoccupied at the moment. I am a pacifist, I do not believe in war. War only benefits the few, making some very wealthy. Peace has always been possible & should always be the first choice. Our world’s children should be safe. Sadly, there is always money for war.

I’m raffling ’Madleen’ whale in aid of Palestine. Tickets are on my website gra-small-stories.co.uk/products/gaza-flotilla-whale-raffle Tickets are £5 & 1 ticket gives you 1 entry. It’ll be drawn on June 14th. UK only. My thoughts are with the amazing people onboard the Freedom Flotilla Coalition!

Speak up for Gaza! Do what you can to spread awareness & have conversations. It is never okay when more than 17,000 women & children have been killed in one year! Being of Jewish decent I find this so difficult in so many ways but it is ever more important to speak up. #stopthegenocideingaza #peace

At the start of this year I was delighted to be asked by the Rowett Institute to make an illustrated identity for their #wildedibles project. You can get involved, be a #sorrelseedsowers join their #citizenscience community on FB, find out about wild foods & get a packet of sorrel seeds in the post.
