I'd love to sell one creature today. All my little guys are designed, hand-sewn and hand-embroidered by me. Each takes many hours to make.

If you're interested in my fabric art, I'd love for you to check out my new Big Cartel shop.

jeremycreature.bigcartel.com

Here's a lovely photo of a plethora of hand-sewn fabric art creatures. There's a watermelon creature with a red face, eight black seed-like eyes, and a wide mouth with five sharp teeth. There's a white ghost trinket bag covered with purple embroidered flowers. She has a gray face, sparkly black eyes and a little frown. There's a strawberry creature with three bulbous green eyes. There's a watermelon ghost, a strawberry ghost bag, and a black creature with sharp teeth. There's a white egg with yellow embroidered flowers and purple eyeshadow and purple lips. All the creatures are sitting on green fur and there's a galaxy print fabric in the background. The watermelon creature and the watermelon ghost are sitting on metal doll chairs.

BRITISH TRANS FOLKS: Get your passports sorted now, don't wait around

Lee Hurley @hleehurley.com · Apr 20

They're coming after passports

Gender rules mean passports ‘unreliable’
The Daily Telegraph - Saturday19 Apr 2025By Amy Gibbons
ALLOWING transgender people to change their gender on official documents has made passports unreliable, a Tory peer has said.

Lord Arbuthnot, a former Conservative MP, warned there was no way to prove someone’s biological sex from their documents, creating a “real problem” for women’s safety.

Trans people are able to change their gender on official documents by providing proof of their transition, such as a gender recognition certificate or letter from their doctor.

Did you, an ally, go to the protests yesterday? Great! Now… what are you going to do next? Suggestions:

✍️ Email your MP.

💬 Find out when MP surgeries are and discuss their policies in person.

💼 Organise at your work to ensure toilet policies remain protected.

🏳️‍⚧️ Listen to and share trans voices.

1/8 An extraordinary day in London. Many thousands. The police seemed blindsided by the way we completely filled Parliament Sq & later the surrounding streets and then St James’ Park.

And wow did we need it.

But…

My student loans have been cancelled! Since graduating, I have never earned enough to trigger repayments, and after 30yrs they have given up on me.

Love this on fashion and sci-fi - what the director of John Wick learned working as a stunt person for 10 years on the Matrix movies www.businessinsider.com/john-wick-ke...

The education I got with the Wachowskis for 10 years of making "Matrix" movies was that everything matters. They would watch the fashion channel every day at lunch. I caught them watching it one time and asked what they were doing, and Lana was like, "Look at the dress, look at how her hips move, it changes posture," and I never forgot that lesson. You never truly bring the characters to life until they are in the wardrobe.
Keanu putting on the suit for the first time in the movie, he's becoming John Wick.

For particularly the younger trans and non-binary individuals out there, but everyone though more generally, I can't tell you things will be okay. I can say that there is so much support for you, so much love. That's what drives change. Just look at this and not the bigots today 👇 1/

I found this a helpful, enabling and - yes - depressing primer on the UK Supreme Court judgement. Maybe you will too:

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,

"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

Allow our scaled diagram to explain...

A light blue diagram depicting the sea, with the water's surface at the top, and just below it is an outline of the Mary Rose, with the depth (12m, 40ft or 6.7 fathoms). There is a line showing the seabed, which takes a rapid dive into the vertical...
