#gameofwool Holger and Isaac's was the only one done mostly in the recommended stitch, it was great crochet work, they just overestimated how much fabric was needed.

#gameofwool if they keep saying hookers instead of crocheters I'm gonna send in a letter of complaint, as a crocheter I don't find it funny and I doubt any sex workers do either

One of the leading causes of harm and death in maternity care on the NHS is actually racism. But Suzanne Moore has a history of anti-"woke" bullshit targeting ethnically marginalised people so she'd hate if you actually looked it up.

I can think of so many things which have contributed to the overall decline in quality of healthcare, and worsened health outcomes, particularly in relation to pregnancy. Most of those things are attributable to the 14 years of Tory rule, and have barely been addressed by the Labour government.

I think it's important to understand that the rhetoric around transmasculine people re. irreversible damage etc. is less of actual sympathy or concern for the trans person themselves, and more addressed to the Patriarch:
"Look at what transgender ideology is doing to Your Property".

The average person isn’t thinking about how their actions will affect others, unfortunately. If they’re feeling slightly under the weather, they won’t consider how or that they’re transmitting something that’s contagious.

Telling people my research interests makes me feel like what Piers Morgan would come up with as a parody of humanities studies. I'm doing a dissertation about 17th century English women's orgasms, and hopefully writing a paper on transgender existence/erasure in cultural heritage.

I love Little Shop of Horrors it is my absolute FAVOURITE musical. I love the movie version, the practical effects are absolutely incredible. I have only seen it on stage once but I hope to see it many times. I see Audrey and Seymour as a T4T couple and I love them so much.

An entire episode of Channel 4's Dispatches was dedicated to inciting hatred of disabled people, blaming us for the UK's problems. It can be summed up with a single, well-known image.

It was only 4 years ago disabled ppl with Covid were being put on DNR requests in hospitals without consent. It’s only 4 years ago, Covid treatment was rationed based on who needed less treatment due to lack of planning and equipment.

The liberals self-congratulating re. how polite the assisted suicide debate was are the worst.
Disabled people are worried they are going to be murdered, but hey, as long as the ✨ aesthetics ✨ are ok.
"It's just my *personal opinion* that it's better to be dead than disabled. Let's keep it civil."
