In 1975 Anni Albers made the sketch on the left. On the right is my attempt to bring it to life using a 3.5 crochet hook and some yarn. Over half way now. 🧶

It is possible to be very afraid of something and desire it at the same time. I’m having eye surgery tomorrow (freaks me out) and when it looked as if it might be cancelled today I found myself almost begging to be kept on the list. Tense.

The free speech activist who built a list of professors he worked to get fired for their speech must be celebrated for his support of free speech, and anyone who quotes his speech accurately in context will be fired and/or face state punishment by the champions of free speech, do I have that right?

Say what you like about baby boomers but they’re out there on the streets, laying their tired bodies down in protest against what’s happening in Gaza. Respect. Admiration. Love.

The Scottish government has raised the Palestinian flag on our government building. We are boycotting all Israeli goods. It’s not too late to follow our lead @10dowingstreet.bsky.social

Go Norway. All of you other Israeli funders, take note. Israel , the home of the oppressed, now the oppressor, is going down. Whether it annihilates Palestine before it descends into hell, is entirely up to the powers that be. Do nothing and you will be recorded as accessories to murder.

Why is it that Farage has to travel all the way to the USA to be asked questions that the @bbc could have put to him any time on his almost daily appearances?
Hey, Sky News! Hey, BBC! See how easy it is?
Moskowitz: Do you think the Epstein list should come out?
Farage: I have no opinion on it.
Raskin: It’s been reported that he’s called for it to be released
Moskowitz: I have it here. Do you agree with yourself?

How is it that @10dowingstreet.bsky.social hasn’t done the same? And OMG do not tell there are secret files aka WMD or some such Trumpian nonsense. The Labour Party let every fair-minded voter down over Iraq. For Gods sake do not do it again. Rescue the people of Palestine.
