Tonight’s edition of sleepless on the isle is brought to you by itchy legs and snoring through CPAP. (Not me.)

Got up. Sorted laundry baskets and picked up odd trash. Knit two rows.

This SUCKS. I am so tired.

4am sucks.
0545 sucks too, and worse if you’ve been awake since 4am.

Sleepless on the Isle is here again.

We want the media and politicians to recognise that there is a large number of women who are supportive of the trans+ community. We call on them to report truthfully about the sources of violence against women and to address the systems that perpetuate harm. notinourname.org.uk/petition/not...

I seem to have developed yarn brain. It thinks of things to make and harasses me until I make them. Now I’m making this. I have actual projects to finish you know?!

Sometimes being the only one of your friends awake really, REALLY sucks.

I don’t sleep well and at the moment, I’m having very restless nights and getting up early to avoid the weird dreams. But as much as i enjoy the “before” in my home, I don’t always enjoy the one in my mind. It’s lonely.

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

Today was a bit hard, actually.
Frustrating, mostly, but defeating. I’m tired and I have things to do. Weary.

This weeks @radiolab.bsky.social is a banger - but has caught my heart. DMD is a beast. #ForJaxon 🎈

I’m seeing friends tomorrow I haven’t seen in a couple years. It’s making realise that life just feels hard all the time. And it has for years.

I don’t really know what to do with that. I don’t mean it’s all bad - it isn’t. But just that hard seems to be all there is. Ease seems to be short.

It grows. I know who it’s for now.
I’m at the first colour change point and having to steel myself because it seems garish, but I have to trust it will come out right.

Brilliant timeline juxtaposition of the day goes to @robinince.bsky.social and @effinbirds.com

Feeling pretty low so all amusement is good amusement right now.

You know the feeling when you’re starting a new blanket while listening to @robinince.bsky.social and he verbalises why you do that? Yeah, that. Thank you Robin for a warm and brilliant set. For the record, I knit as well ;) #MorecambePoetryFestival #CompulsiveMaker #PoetryLife

My collection of sea/river pottery👇🏼. When we look at an image we find interesting or lovely our brains release dopamine, lifting mood. To get EXTRA dopamine from my photo tho, look for (from easiest->tricky): dried larkspur, an acorn, a cherub, a lotus flower motif 🔷🔹🔷🔹🔷

Having a rough night, despite being horribly tired. Hate everything (mostly about myself) and just need to scream and then try and sleep some more.
