If you’re as obsessed with the Observer exposé of The Salt Path as I am, have a listen to this episode of Material Girls where they discuss life writing.

“Your favourite memoir? It’s full of shit, you guys, ok? That didn’t fucking happen!”

I’m on @bbclondonnews.bsky.social talking about the 4000 litres of diesel that were spilled into the Wandle on Tuesday, and what this means for the local environment and the people who love this precious chalk stream

I can’t smash out a new textile artwork about the diesel spill in the Wandle so I just did this as a placeholder

I’m just absolutely devastated about this. The local community has spent decades restoring the Wandle from a “dead” river to a beautiful ecosystem. Thames Water dump raw sewage in it all the time and now this www.standard.co.uk/news/london/...

If H&M CEO wants to raise the bar, he can start by raising WAGES. By delivering on that living wage for garment workers pledge for example!

In 2025 I want to explore London’s BIG wild spaces, and try the hikes that connect our green spaces. Many Londoners might feel like they need to spend time and money on a big excursion to experience nature, and I want to show that’s just not true. So today I started with the classic: Richmond Park

The same landscapes that benefit bats also reduce flood risk, drought risk & recharge aquifers. Unless they want all these new builds inundated with flood water & residents with nothing to drink, maybe it's time to think about protecting wetlands, floodplains & rivers #givenewtsachance

This is what I’m aspiring to! I haven’t shopped on the high street since 2017 and the clothing I had from that time is coming to the end of its lifespan. I’m currently obsessed with loud 80s blouses and I have maybe half a dozen pieces of “recognisable” clothing so good luck algorithm!

I’m here! Probably posting about clothing repair, water pollution, my beloved River Wandle, urban flora, fauna and funga, and the weird art I make!
