This woman is a firm argument against ever unplugging the internet. Just a chaotic, enjoy your insanity joy. And the possum eats grapes. youtu.be/xh5DZwpXW6M?...

🚨BOOM! Now over 90,000 signatures! The Petition calling for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed. Let’s keep going! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Oh, this! The tabby is a mean bitch (though she’s mellowed in recent years, and to my husband she’s a total marshmallow) and will stick around to traumatise guests. The tortie is an adorable ball of love and purrs*, but will scarper at the knock on the door - no one but us has seen her for years.

Just another day with cats.

Counterpoint: fuck off & when you get there fuck off some more

Update. He did not pronounce the #HarrisHood cute because of the colour. It was how I looked in it. I’m not sure how to feel about that.

The #OddityScarf, if anyone was curious. Sorry about the photos, I’ll take better ones when it comes off the board. 🧶 It’s a very fun knit (if you omit at least 20 row sets from each of the first two sections, and accept that it’s going to look like crap until you block it) going to do more.

I decided to do a trendy pattern - A #HarrisHood (my definition of trendy is that it has around 100x as many projects on Ravelry as my last project, the #OddityScarf, no idea if it’s actually trendy) My husband pronounced it ‘cute’. Like, adorable child cute. I think it’s the colour.

For once, knowing that they can always go lower is a good thing.

I need to replace my favourite ‘goes with everything’ knit, but the idea of #knitting yet another basic raglan stockinette jumper doesn’t appeal. Does anyone has pattern reccs for a sweater with interesting techniques but simple looking? 🧶 would be an Aran weight blown type, prob Drops Air.

It's the 10 year anniversary of the Womensart project so I just wanted to thank you ALL for your kind support and for ALL the wonderful artists featured, many of whom I've since met or worked with 🧡💛🧡 Cheers!!

RHINO ZOOMIES!!!

Amanda isn’t even on the force anymore and she STILL the worst police detective in the UK #Traitors

If I could do anything even half as well as my cat watching me to determine when I will need to get up and settling on my knee just as I realise it too, I would be unstoppable.

Ok, the old biddies have gone, my spine is protesting but holding in there and the bartender has just given me free mini cake, so doing quite well considering! I’m also over halfway through the second (and last) Very Boring Bit of this scarf, so I’m feeling optimistic.

If anyone saw the boomer post sorry. I found my back up earphones and am now blissfully unaware of whatever bigoted crap they are sending out into the world. If I thought anything I could say would improve them I would give it a go, but no new tricks are getting in a pub on a Friday afternoon.

Standard sword and sorcery fantasy film periodically interrupted by cutaways to an in-universe historian from a notional period hundreds of years after the depicted events explaining the film's various historical inaccuracies.

Having a day where I feel both hungry and nauseous at the same time but everything I try to eat tastes bad. This fucking body.

Terry Pratchett fans - I vaguely remember a line in one of his books about mountains being difficult to climb the first time, then becoming somewhere grannies go for picnics and wonder back up again after to look for their glasses. Does it actually exist? Was it actually Sir P? Please help.

Is that some kind of braid loom the woman in the white smock is working on? (I really wish this account were able to turn on comments. We all know why they don’t though. 🙄)

No word of a lie, just read a YouTube comment section arguing the best way to cook a child in a witches cauldron and how fattening them up first leads to better marbling and flavour in the meat. This after I was ranting last night that fairy tales reveal something cracked in the human psyche.

I can’t decide if she’s going for seasonal or menacing.

We watched the last ep of Stranger Things last night. The thing I was prepping to wibble over didn’t happen but then they went for the jugular anyway. Bravo Duffers. Also #NatalieDyer4Rambo

I stopped making new years resolutions years ago, but one thing I am going to do this year, asap, is work out how to turn my parental controls back on because turning them off combined with liking pet posts means I now know more than I ever wanted to about the proclivities of Furries.

Merry Christmas all. I’m day drinking delectable homemade Irish cream liquor, a family member is in hospital and the dog is ignoring the chew treat we bought her in favour of destroying a toy doughnut. Keeping the traditions alive! (Family member is fine, we think he had a very bad burger).

I want to believe this is jolly Christmas fun, I really do, but I have lived through 2025.

You’re not the only one who noticed this @wildigital.bsky.social Also, according to the comments we’re not the only ones who just got up and left a fifth of the way in to the second movie 🤦‍♀️😂

The phrase ‘stochastic terrorism’ fits well in any response to his article.

I feel sorry for Americans surprised by the lack of substance to the Epstein Files. Brits were properly educated in such matters: youtu.be/r-s-Y4xA9pk?...

Jennifer Lawrence is a menace

Human rights are universal - politicians may not always find them politically convenient but it shouldn’t fall to any government to say who those rights should & should not apply to. Because none of us then has rights, just privileges that can be taken away by those in power youtu.be/bl0Lm7v_T18?...

Occasionally the cat likes to stretch out a paw and hold on to whatever is in front of me “in her sleep”. Usually my book or knitting or a sleeve. Maximum interference sort of thing. Just now she got my hand. She pulled back so fast I think she has whiplash. This cat does not do PDA’s. The horror.

Great news. Mostly just undoing Tory fuckery to begin with, but most looks to be delivered by 2028. This is the sort of stuff we’ve been asking for. Why is Starmer busy crowing about his pie in the sky deals with the tangerine toddler?

On one hand, culturally I’m so glad that we’ve stopped policing typos. Mainly bc apparently nothing is going to make my ADHD monkey slow down and check before posting. On the other hand, I kinda wish I did have someone around to slap it into at least thinking about it.

Oh, this is going in the lexicon. I was kinda hammy, but good, like iberico… Also yeah that was a great episode and Ourif is always good value in any role.

The Culture Sec has launched the review of the BBC’s Royal Charter, aiming to "bolster trust in the broadcaster and put it on a sustainable financial footing" Nandy is looking at options to ensure the BBC is "sustainably funded for decades to come...being independent and accountable to the public."

This completely preventable and predictable outcome is currently driving dangerous policies by representatives and spreading disinformation for the purposes of control. Again, absolutely no element of surprise www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."

Rest well Rob. You gave us all perfect gifts.

Sharing this again, because I really do think that radically new ideas are needed for our approach to integration. This may not be it, but if it inspired just one more, then it’s valuable. Please share far and wide, and credit to @nazishmunch.bsky.social for her tireless work and beautiful writing.

I feel I aught to share with you guys that Ultimate Comfort is attainable. The oldest cat has managed it. Look at her. The bliss.

I can’t read the article but please let this be effective!

Muppets Christmas Carol is the best Christmas movie bc it includes a song with the lyrics, "your future is a horror story written by your crimes" & nothing says Christmas cheer more than that. Also Michael Caine deserved all the awards for that performance. Perfection. No notes.

Commemorating the time (that time being right now) we put the heat mat out for the cold cat, and she actually lay on it.

I know that having to continue doing adult life in heavy snowfall ranges from inconvenient to downright dangerous. I know! But I’m still jealous. 😅

All I want in this life is mobility equipment made by people who *actually know* what disability is like made with the same principles as this 50’s car youtube.com/shorts/X_etu...

Part two, with hopefully some inspiring ideas (and much love for Liverpool!)
