En garde 🤺

#embroidery

you fill me
with love
with boundless hope
with the conviction
of Icarus rising

and I offer
without question
a sunflower heart
gold and nectar
turning always towards you
in heliacal magnetism

boldly ignoring
the way this might end

Farage: epic grifter

How neurotypical social cues come off to Autistic people: Image of one big arrow point left, made up of lots of smaller arrows pointing right

And then they give you dirty looks for not understanding 🤷🏻‍♀️

When I cannot
talk to you
I talk to you
anyway

When I cannot
see you
I see you
everywhere

When I cannot
hear you
I listen for you
in the wind

When I cannot
touch you
I am touched
by your words

When I cannot
feel you
well I feel you
always

A middle finger to erasure.

More of this, please. Now do Black Lives Matter!

If you enjoy my posts and you have a moment it would help so much if you could retweet my posts above this one about my illustration, silver jewellery and mental health workshops.
I'd so appreciate any help with putting my classes in front of a few more eyes. Thankyou so much🌿

History repeats.

The dark hours are for hunger,
for skin against skin,
for wandering hands,
for sensual reflections,
for sweat and the raw heat of wanting,
but then when the dawn comes,
it’s quieter,
softer, sweeter,
a tenderness poured into making their favorite breakfast,
a touch that lingers too long on ...

Dreams flicker and fade
but your eyes
are a constant
homing beacon
beaming across
the lights years
piercing my darkest
night

I would happily endure all the trauma I've been through for a thousand lifetimes more,
just to know It was always leading me to you.

I know I've asked this a few times recently but I've been very unwell for much of this year & am trying to get back on my feet again financially by teaching my workshops again alongside running my Etsy shop.
Please could you give my posts above/below about my workshop a RT if you have a moment?...🌿

The image is an X post by @RealJakeBroe from 7 hours ago, featuring a two-panel comic. The top panel shows a scientist pointing to a chart with a general trend and an outlier, illustrating a rational argument. The bottom panel depicts a person labeled "ANTI VAX" pointing to a similar chart, labeling it "CONSPIRACY THEORY" with "Lies" and an outlier called "IRREFUTABLE PROOF!!!", satirizing irrational arguments. The caption reads, "It is difficult to win an argument with a smart person. It is impossible to win an argument with an idiot."

This captures much of the frustration of today.

My first job was a transit and rail engineer/planner.

Civil engineering is cool and it's a cool college major even if you don't end up working in engineering.

But none of those who vote Reform will read any of this and will continue to blame migrants for everything! That’s what we are up against.

Peter? What more?

Have a great tomorrow!
