Recently made a baby surprise jacket. Always great fun, if mind-bending! Did a crochet seam at the shoulders and icord all the way round to match.
And once again my grandmother's button box produced the ideal buttons. I swear that tin is magic! #ShowMeYourKnits

Why do I do these things to myself? Middle of a heatwave and yesterday I did my mandatory fire safety training. Now today my 🧶 crochet project is fire themed!
Off to take a break to eat ice cream and think cold thoughts!

My union doing good work!
Unison is the largest women’s organization in the UK. It has a million women members.
The Unison women’s conference just voted for a motion that said;
“trans women are women and trans men are men”
with no-one speaking against it.
Transphobia is a top-down, elite practice.

Saw the name of today's inkvent and was briefly worried they'd given us a third scented ink. Never been so relieved to have a standard ink!

I've made three jumpers for my dad, but can only find pics of two. I knit the grey one first, and have spent the last 9 years getting plenty of darning practice because he wears it so much! For the blue one, I used a Tin Can Knits pattern but designed the colourwork myself. #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶

It's election day! Which means that me and @christhebarker.bsky.social have launched the online version of #portillogeddon. Cross off the Tories as they are defeated by clicking on their faces. Or use automatic mode if you just want to sit back and watch it happen.

"They did not live “normal” lives: They lived their lives."
My spouse, @sirosenbaum.bsky.social, wrote an amazing story for The Atlantic about transness, surgery, and the recently deceased Schappell twins
It's a landmark for The Atlantic, in that it's pro-trans

The Conjoined Twins Who Refused to Be ‘Fixed’
George and Lori Schappell didn’t seem to care whether others understood them. But America is still struggling to accommodate bodies like theirs.

Reason #632 why I won't be out of a job any time soon:
Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

My two latest finished objects, given together as a birthday gift. Really enjoyed the fiddly crochet, though there was some cursing throughout. And I'm loving bookbinding!🧶
