In Worcestershire, Reform are taking the Greens to court in hopes of overturning a Green Cllr win.

Court cases are expensive & the Greens are funded by our grassroots, not oligarchs.

I’ve chipped in a bit, can you? Bits add up. Thank you.

I've seen the "Not one I'm looking for" newspaper obituary joke a thousand times and you know, I'm not tired of it.

One day.

When I was learning, and was taught how to use my back muscles on the draw, I realised that I already knew how: they're the same muscles I use when struggling to breathe through asthma...

And JARVIS.

Mastodonapp uk still down, alas. However, I have conquered IKEA's mile-long queues and lack of tills (!) to buy two mats, 4 small plates, 3 small rainbow totes, and 4 more IKEA-bag mini keyrings. I'll even get them unpacked when I've had my coffee.

My dad made one of these high chairs for me when i was a Smol Bean, then made them whenever anyone had a kid, and then made them to give away. Now it’s my turn to make one for my kid, and if anyone in PDX has a little one and needs a high chair, let me know - times are hard and i’ll make you one too

And still going up by about 25-30 PER 5 SECONDs.

We're innocent, honest, guv! Butter wouldn't melt in our mouths. We didn't do it. We weren't even there. And you can't prove it anyway. Strider is at the front in both pics.

We had two black & white cats who were convinced it was their job to catch flies. So the nets had claw holes up to the top; when I bought a Venus Flytrap & put it carefully on a top shelf it got knocked down & chewed. Strider, I'm sure; her job, what was I doing buying a mere *plant* to do it!

Only $770 for a crystal Loki? I'll take four... when I've won the lottery. Maybe.

Angled view of irregular blue and gold labradorite pendant netted in silver wire, glowing brightly.

Day 2,981. Pendants still not listing themselves.

(Putting this here so I *have* to list them now. Please bear with me, and watch this space.)

If you're a knitter/crocheter & love hats, you probably know Woolly. If not, you should take a look at her patterns & book. I have a number of her patterns, & book, & I love her.

If you support Ukraine's fight against the Russian invasion, you can support Ukraine, while making her lovely hats.

Two small Samsung tabs, in succession, which both failed catastrophically in about 12-15 months. Then a Blackview 7", which decided to go dodgy in about the same time (and I have a Blackview 10" which is playing sillywotsits at me so is on probation); currently on a Lenovo 8", so far so good.

Wait what the FUCK?

Dammit, posting to Masto about socks, and AS I DID SO it had a crash. I've managed to save the text of the entry, and made a note of which pics I was going to put with it, though not their alt-text.

Oh noes, mastodonapp.uk is down! I might have to read something and/or knit.

Saturday. Been a week. Trans rights are human rights. Small joys matter. Hug a cat. Use alt text. Hydrate. Clean your specs. Pay the compliment. Notice beauty. Eat breakfast. Breathe.

I feel a bit iffy doing self-promotion with everything going on, but the bills wait for no man or chaos.

So! I have shiny things for all - plenty of labradorite to go around:

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

Microsoft just put up the price of your subscription without your consent. Mine rose from £79.99 per year to over £100. The extra is because they've strapped their 'AI copilot' in to every program. You can refuse this increase and these features. Instructions below.

Happy "Microsoft trying to force CoPilot subs" day in the UK for all who celebrate.

(They just pinged me my renewal notice with it carefully worded to sound like a compulsory general price increase).

1) Go to your account page
2) Hit cancel
3) Change sub back.

French train passenger fined €150 for using phone on speaker A passenger on the French rail network SNCF has revealed that he received a €150 fine for using his phone on loud speaker within a train station.

This might be an old-lady opinion, but I find this incredibly annoying and think people should be fined for doing it anywhere in the public space 👵
