Having one of these has been a massive game changer for me too, thanks for the recommendation!

Update: I now have 6 hexagons (out of the 23 needed for the full blanket), and I have buckled & bought more yarn. Which may render some of the existing hexagons replaceable.

If anyone is into knitting or crochet, a Bantry business that was hit by the floods could really do with a bit of support. #speirgorm

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have β€˜voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

β€œMaybe being a perfectionist isn’t having super neat handwriting and the highest grades on your homework. Maybe it’s also having unrealistic hopes for how you should feel.”

Default Emotions Missing CaffΓ© Nero obviously isn't a failure. But it feels like one.

Just a small piece I've been thinking about for a while. It's about homesickness feeling like failure, and how I do miss CaffΓ© Nero and bird hides, but don't miss mandatory shoes and Farage's smug face. Somehow, this is about perfectionism. open.substack.com/pub/puzzledb...

Here's the consultation i mentioned at #sotb26 I'm not kidding when I told you that the regularlors love to hear from developers rather than lobbyists. Doesn't need to be a structured doc. You can be anonymous. They simply want hear to your view. brucelawson.co.uk/2026/on-appl...

Following @kitation.co.uk’s talk at #SotB26 today, we’ve decided that browsers need a β€œprefers-reduced-spidersβ€œ setting.

A pair of feet clad in red socks and red & white checked shoes with white soles. The shoes have crystals on the red squares. They are very swish.

A form with two fields; email address and phone number. The user has written β€œno phone” in the phone field; this has triggered an error because it’s not a valid phone number. The user cannot proceed.

A really good point by @kitation.co.uk at #SotB26 that form validation can make forms inaccessible if it’s not thought through - by forcing a phone number field to be a valid phone number, you’re not giving people the option to say β€œI don’t have a phone / I can’t use a phone / please don’t call me”

altho it’s starting to look like we’ll move seamlessly from one two-party monopoly to a different two-party monopoly without anyone investigating any of the flaws in the system at any point.

A plush heart hanging on a white wall. The center of the piece shows an eye embroidered in various shades of red thread looking sadly to the right, with one red teardrop bead beneath the waterline. Surrounding it are a variety of red beads to transition into the red felt body of the heart. There are rays of gold thread and beads emanating from the center to the edges, ending in a gold pearl border. There are three drips of red beads coming from the eye, ending in two small teardrops on the sides and a larger teardrop in the middle
Completely hand embroidered

Small sketchbook painting of a brown eye looking upward with a light source coming from our left. Her iris is being pulled up and flows past her lid to turn into black smoke trailing to the top of the page. The skin is painted in cloudy layers of a pinky peach tone, with some greens around the edges

Embroidery in an oval shaped frame of a light brown eye rendered in full color. There are three 3D swords that puncture through the fabric around the eye and cross over each other. Roman numeral 3 completes the tarot card look
