A photograph close up of an embroidery hoop, scissors, and embroidery threads on a wooden coffee table. The hoop contains a square of dark-brown felt with a transfer sticker on it
I've been making my own #embroidery patches for a while now, but only just got hold of some stick n' stitch paper that works on my home printer. Suffice to say, fiddly geometric designs have been an absolute pain... up till now.

My last train journey was in 2019. Hundreds of pounds to get from Nottingham to London on crowded, uncomfortable carriages. Then for the same trip in 2018 I had awful delays and cancellations both ways, with almost no help to reroute. Absolute nightmare.
Hard pass.

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents โ he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.
The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.
The Greens say enough is enough.

Can relate very strongly to this. Drama and negativity might be entertaining for a little while. But when you're already short on spoons, you soon realise your energy and time are far too precious to waste on arseholes.

Things Farage wonโt answer:
1. Why did he lie about buying a house in Clacton?
2. What did he know about Welsh Reform Leader Nathan Gillโs Russian Bribes?
3. Why did he lie about meeting the Russian Ambassador?
4. Why is his flagship council Kent raising taxes and cutting services?

Seriously, rail travel in the UK is beyond a joke.
I'd love to travel more by rail as an alternative to cars, but outrageous prices and unreliable service - especially for a low-income disabled person like myself - make it impossible.

Another example of the absolute mess Privatisation has made to the UK railways.
Poor service, massively overpriced tickets and unpleasant jobsworths.
The sooner the railways, rolling stocks and tracks are re-Nationalised (along with he water, electricity and gas), the better.

This is a lie.
There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. Iโve been making them for years.
But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

Greta Thunberg has just been released and she is back on the warpath, exactly like our leaders should be.
Israel will never silence her or the billions who oppose them.

Who knew removing financial stress makes people happier, healthier, and more able to give back to their local economy?!
The only reason we don't have universal basic income is because capitalism *requires* the threat of homelessness and hunger to maintain a labour pool for the lowest-paid jobs.

Iโm seeing a lot of misinformation, shaming and disinformation around masking to prevent covid.
First things first, the only way to avoid Long Covid is to avoid Covid.
Second, a layered approach works best to prevent infection.
One of those layers is masking. ๐งต

One of my all-time favourite series, even though it was a slog for my 14-y/o self to get through at first.
Its not perfect by any means, but gods above and below, some of the prose is sheer poetry.

"What would happen if we stopped acting as if the primordial
form of work is laboring at a production line, or wheat field,
or iron foundry, or even in an office cubicle, and instead
started from a mother, a teacher, or a caregiver?
.
We might be forced to conclude that the real business of
human life is not contributing toward something called the
economy but the fact that we are all, and have always been,
projects of mutual creation."
.
- David Graeber
One of David Graeber's most interesting pieces was from 2013 called - 'A practical utopians guide to the coming collapse.'

Our government is compromised; it is protecting its own interests and those of its ownersโblackmailers, not the safety or wellbeing of its citizens.
But we already knew that.

Joking memes make light of the uncomfortable reality: everyone's got a little of that post-COVID brain damage these days
Nobody has Long COVID, but everybody has brain fog, cognitive decline and memory loss. I talk about the overwhelming scientific evidence that COVID damages the brain, and the overwhelming social unwillingness to acknowledge it in my latest:
