My sister has a tradition of getting me Christmas socks, and the belief they need to be given at the start of December to get maximum use (she doesn't believe in Christmas in July like I do).

She's done a stunning job with this years!
Christmas socks on my Chromebook, the logo slightly visible in the bottom right corner. The socks are a bright, Christmassy, green colour. They have Santa faces on. Santa's hat and nose are red glitter fabric. The word HO is written in red and scattered over the socks, along with some small white dots to represent snow.

I just saw this and might I politely suggest Kate Forbes goes and fucks herself.

Children aren't women Kate.
Trans men aren't women Kate.

Inclusive language includes minorities, that's the entire fucking point.
The Telegraph Kate Forbes orders civil servants to stop using 'birthing person' in briefings Scottish Government issues guidance saying majority giving birth 'will identify' as women. Underneath is a picture of Kate Forbes looking gleeful and evil, revelling in Christian Nationalism hate, like she's about to take a bite out of you.

Knitting up a pair of shorties for my sister to add to her Xmas presents. I was gifted this yarn a while ago and to me it looks so much like cabbage, her second favourite veg.

The second sock is already on a magic loop waiting for this one to be at that point.
My knitting folder, notes, and part knitted sock. On the left of my knitting folder: A scrap of paper has tally marks and notes for each section of the sock written in pink pen. The tally's are gone over in black where I knitted the second sock. On the right of my knitting folder: A pattern page where I have listed the socks at 'Shortie WM Cabbage', the yarn is noted as WYS Spring Green. On top of the page is my knitting on red 2.5mm KnitPro Zing DPNs, the sock has a cuff and part of a heel flap. The yarn is various shades of green that remind me of cabbage.

Screenshot of a Reddit post. It reads: Mia and Ed crush situation The whole house turning against Mia because she has said she has had a crush on Ed, with Vinnie even going as far to say it's creepy and if the roles were reversed it would look really bad, is so unfair. She had a crush at the start, Ed shut it down, Mia moved on - she said she accepted that and moved on, and confirmed that in BBeats saying Ed friendzoned her. Then Bruce went to Ed and said Mia brought it up again. Then they were all talking about who would kiss who and Ed asked Mia if she would kiss him. Mia said no, we're just friends, and then Ed and the others kept goading her on and on until she said yes, Ed was probably doing it for his own ego. That to me is understandably giving mixed signals. Now they have twisted it into Mia not accepting rejection or anyone's signals, and being really mean about it. Vinnie was even imitating her lisp saying she would want to kiss someone in the house. I'm finding it all really cruel. Ed and the boys are the biggest gossips and Emily feeds into it telling the group everything Mia says to her in confidence. They are discussing the crush way more than Mia is.

Screenshot of a Reddit post. It reads: hi! so while i do agree that a diagnosis is important, i do believe narcissistic is the word i would continue to use to describe colin. and while yes people can change between ages 16-21, i can vouch for his douche behaviour up until about february this year. and the situations with his exes (throwing bottles, practicing punches, cheating, sharing around a s*x tape) is as recent as last year. this is in no way the behaviour of a person who should be put on tv, let alone paraded for successfully putting up a character. (by this i mean colin acts just like he does on bbau irl, just filtering the offensive words and 'edgy' jokes. i am in no way trying to diagnose him, and there is a lot of evidence i unfortunately can't give you (for the safety of myself & other girls) that would back these claims a lot more. however your second paragraph is precisely how he handles situations in real life. sorry i can't provide more, i understand people will take this post with a grain of salt and/or find a way to prove these wrong, but there's nothing i can do about that except hope enough people will listen and believe :)

After trying 3 other stitch types, I've finally settled on a double running stitch. It is visible on both sides and this way each side will be equally wonky! This edge is 190cm, in each direction 😅
Grey Sherpa fleece and leopard print cotton are being sewn together with golden yellow thread. My red top is visible in the top right corner of the picture.

Come trans people!

Fight for your basic human rights!

Fight against the party secretary and other assorted transphobes, including union bosses and ones too weird for the mainstream in Scotland!

No mention of trans people and their rights in this piece by Mr TERF.

There is this bit though. A rallying cry to the genitally obsessed bigots? Sex-based rights? 🚩🚩
A paragraph from the article in the original post. It reads: Everything should be on the table for discussion as we move forward, but a plea, this must be open, fraternal and comradely — no heresy hunting, no deplatforming, none of that intolerance that has driven so many people, particularly women campaigning for their sex-based rights, away from the existing left.

It's me. Linda is me.
2 screenshots from the opening of Bob's Burgers episode Christmas in the Car. The top panel shows a Christmas tree in the lounge window. Linda wears her read top and is stood to the left of the tree. She says 'Aw. Everyone look at the tree, I love this tree'. The bottom panel zooms out to show the full lounge on the left is Bob sat on the sofa reading a newspaper. In the middle, in front of the Christmas tree, Tina and Louise sit either side of the coffee table sorting candy. In the right corner is Gene eating candy out of his pumpkin bucket. Above Bob is a chain of pumpkin decorations. On the opposite wall is HAPPY HALLOWEEN bunting in black and orange. Bob says 'It's the day after Halloween Lin'.

Chat, I nailed it. Repeated these directions in my head, nodded as I passed each thing.

Boom, Library!

Accidentally checked out 4 more books.
Aberdeen Central Library Entrance. Weak sun is shining on the facade. Granite steps lead up to the doorway. There is a black handrail on the left of the picture. The doorway is a tall, dark wood, double door with gold furniture. The doors are open and the left one is visible on the inner of the door frame. To the left there is brass sign on the granite wall of the library. It bears the city crest and the words: City of Aberdeen, Central Library. To the right of that is a poster displaying the opening times.

Post something random or you'll have an awful November.
My sisters hand holds an absolutely massive carrot, taller than the 4 pints of whole milk it is stood next to. The picture is from 2012 and the milk only cost £1. In the back ground is a pink toaster, a photo frame on the half wall, and a blue basket on top of a black microwave.

Don't forget your other Scottish Defections! 81 year old Hugh Kerr and 'convicted for sharing the names of sexual abuse victims' Craig Murray, both of the transphobic Alba Party!

Are you delighted to welcome them too?
Ellie Gomersall and Zarah Sultana are flanked by their other Scottish defections they don't mention, Hugh Kerr on the left and Craig Murray on the right. They are crudely edited in using a shit app on my phone.

Chat, we did it! I'm in so much pain I can't feel it. It was a learning experience and I know now why my treacle toffee didn't work last year (will try it again next week).

54 squarish chunks busy setting.

My first homemade tablet.

The music in S3 of The Sewing Bee is making me need to watch the 1992 Aussie Classic, Baz Luhrmann's debut, Strictly Ballroom!

Absolutely obsessed with this film as a kid who was a dancer.
Movie Poster for Strictly Ballroom (1992). The back ground is several spotlights with a shadow of a ballroom dancer in. In the foreground Fran is dressed in a red flamenco style dress. Scott her dance partner is wearing high waist black pants, white shirt, black bow tie, and a gold matador style jacket. They stand face to face ready to begin dancing.

Channel 4 Watch Go Back to Where You Came From The image shows 6 people on the beach at the foot of the white cliffs of Dover. The first person is a nasty racist who appears on GBnews. She has a black and white striped suitcase, is wearing red trousers, a white top and a black jacket. Next to her is a racist man who showed a modicum of improvement, he wears black shorts and a jacket. Next is a lovely nice lady, paired with the first 2 to try and make them see refugees as human. She did the best she could. She wears a white suit with a black top. Next to her is a racist Welsh woman who has unfounded fears of refugees from tabloid headlines. She wears brown pants and a white top. Next is another lovely lady, one who has worked with refugees both in the Uk and in Calais, like the first nice lady paired with 2 racists. She wears a denim maxi skirt and top. And finally Nathan the racist idiot who ate 3kg of cola bottles. He looks like a stupid meathead in jeans and a black T-shirt. He came out with stupid racist quips like 'my son will be going to school on a camel'. He also has a suitcase, perhaps it's filled with cola bottles.

On December 1st 2022, I began opening a wool advent calendar I treated myself to. I usually track my knitting using tally marks divided by each section of the sock.

I'm up to colour 17 of the second sock, gusset decreases. My tallying and colour change marking is making me very angry at past me!
A iPhone note titled Rainbow, sockies. Each section of my sock knit is labeled and had tally marks in bundles of 5. Sock 2 is on the same note with the tally marks under the originals. A iPhone note titled Advent socks. This note is tracking my knit of an 24 day wool advent calendar. Each section of my sock knit is labeled and had tally marks in bundles of 5. However unlike my previous note the tally marks are interrupted with a bracketed number which indicates my changing the wool, to the wool in the corresponding numbered box. It makes the tally marks much harder to read as in places I have 4 marks, a bracket number and 1 more mark.

Walking back in my room to find this auto playing certainly made me do a double take! Wondered what I'd missed then laughed once I realized.

Excellent work @sophiemolly.co.uk and @heatherherbert.uk
