Here is the finished carved owl, mounting into a pendant. The owl, fence and grass are boxwood, the frame is walnut.

Went to @queerbritain.bsky.social private view last night. This was the piece that hit the hardest.

Part of a quilt memorial to those who died during the HIV crisis.

Here's to one day revealing the beautiful life beneath this panel and celebrating him for who he was. X

February 3 is the day in 700 when St Werburga, 4th Abbess of Ely died.

Originally buried in Hanbury, Staffordshire her remains were translated in 975 to the Church of SS Peter and Paul in Chester which later became the Cathedral.

She is the Patron Saint of Chester.

Happy #NationalHedgehogDay 🥺

This little Egyptian faience model of a hedgehog is from a tomb at Abydos, and was made around 1,500–1,300 BCE.

Hedgehogs had a favourable reputation in ancient Egypt, and were often seen as a symbol of rebirth and renewal of life.

People think being disabled is like being on vacation

They say “you’re lucky! I wish I didn’t have to work!”

Most of us would love to work. We would love to get out of bed. We would love to not be forced into legislated poverty

Imagine your worst sick day on repeat forever

That’s chronic illness

1st February, daily stitching marking the passage of time. A rare weekend post, with some little snowdrops for #imbolc and the earliest signs of spring as the wheel turns.

A small but deeply meaningful local project - digitising issues of 90s Scottish trans magazine The Tartan Skirt so all of us can access them.

It's a really modest fundraising target with a significant outcome, please share or contribute if you can!

Lately, I've been researching the life of Barbara Fea who was born in Stronsay some time* in the late 17th century.

Her story is one of power, legal process and, sadly, awful violence. Throughout this, she endures. I want to tell her tale.

* We'll return to her age in a bit because it's important.
