Our beautiful girl, Leia, left us on Friday. I have a feeling I'll be doing a whole lot of paintings of her, we have so many photos of her! She left a huge hole in our lives 😭❤️

Gender critical types like to claim science supports them, but by "science" they mean "high school science" (and usually from a good twenty years ago.)

I tried a low-resolution aesthetic with this pixel scene. If you have any suggestions or thoughts, I'm all ears! Please share any suggestions you have!

I guess there's a new blog somewhere about "the value of Advent Calendar sales", because I'm getting daily emails offering a different sale every day.

I wonder if the author was trolling everyone: it's not inspiring me to buy anything, but it sure is making me want to unsubscribe!

I still love it. And yes. This cat is more eyes than brains. Zero thoughts behind those eyes.

I've been eyeing up Oodies for a while now, but just found out they're giving money to JK Rowling and helping fund her campaign to eradicate trans people, so I guess I'm gonna be shopping elsewhere.

They also only have accounts on X and Meta. 1/4

Big news today: my Gender Recognition Certificate has been granted! Admittedly the For (like barely a handful of) Women Scotland ruling makes it less useful, but it's still a huge win!

right wing bigots have admitted

- the “trans women in bathrooms” issue

- the “trans women in sports” issue and

- the “trans kids getting surgery” issue

were all MADE UP TO TAKE OUR RIGHTS AWAY

are you paying attention?

Thank you to HuffPost UK for including NION Women in their coverage of the growing push to exclude trans people from Girlguiding and the WI.

Women across the UK are saying clearly that this is not done in our name.

Getting a new passport with my new name on it and they're blocking my application because my proof of use (utility statement) doesn't have my middle name on it.

Nothing does these days, no service even has a field for it.

They suggested I change my name again and get rid of my middle name!

I'm still not feeling great about it, but I also don't want to spend too long obsessing over it, so here's my finished illustration of my friend's dog, Max.

Latest chainmaille is a double-strand JPL3 bracelet in teal and yellow. Turns out JPL is a *lot* easier when you use a different colour as the third ring of the unit!
