I always get nervous when accessibility concerns are dealt with with sentences starting with 'surely'.

I can't handle normal tights material - I find it a sensory nightmare. But I love Snag's wool tights and have several colours. Also bought one of their towels when they had them in purple and I love that thing!

Huh. Now I'm wondering why I don't have problems with podcasts, given that I have frequent audio processing issues during in person conversations and over teams. Brains, why so weird?!?

Today is the sort of day I really miss working in an archive. Climate controlled storage would be so nice to hide out in right now!

Really pleased for Notts County today. And slightly weepy wishing my dad was still here. He'd have been chuffed to bits.

Congratulations to Notts County, the oldest football club in the world, on their 2026 promotion to League One of the Football League, the club's fifteenth promotion season in their history

Thanks! It was a lot of fun to make.

Realised I posted some pics of this in progress, but never the finished item! So for #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 here's the finished crochet rocket ship I made for a coworker's baby, it has a bit of yellow:

So I would never say "he's a ponce", but would say something like "he's a right poncy git, isn't he?" with "poncy" meaning putting on airs/trying to be posh/thinks he's better than he is?

Give this a share if you get chance please. So many cisgender women who do not want this for the trans+ community or the division it causes for us all notinourname.org.uk

Stopping at 30, but so far I'm absolutely terrible at this except in two cases: 1) When the labour ladies colour code themselves with the red jackets 2) I've correctly identified every single reform one shown to me?

Afterwards, someone muttered something about fibroids (never mentioned again), put a diagnosis of PMDD in my records (didn't bother to tell me about it for 10+ years), and started me on the mini pill (their universal solution).

I got through the transvaginal ultrasound by disassociating entirely. I know I had one done, but everything that happened after I entered the room is locked up in a filing cabinet in my brain, with a sign saying "Beware of the leopards." A total blank.

I would really like to fast forward the next part of this year... But not THAT far! Not THAT fast!

Personally, I recommend needle felting - stabbing something repeatedly is very therapeutic!

PDFs are genuinely the best format for my particular use case (unless I was given 10x my current staff and resources) and I open every talk or training session I give on accessibility with "Don't use this format unless you absolutely have to..."

For us it was just Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. Every single time.

Nothing like trying to watch ice hockey to remind you to clean your laptop screen!

Yes, I bought a Hongdian M2 entirely because of the cats on the finial. But it's also a really great pen and comes with a proper converter!
