An in-progress sock on circular knitting needles. The sock is made with striped yarn in Christmassy reds and greens. I am currently working on the toe, which is solid red.

I don't want to admit how long it's taken me to make my first pair of socks. But the second one will be finished today and I'll be wearing them at Christmas! πŸ₯³

Justice For Windrush | Official Website Don’t let the Home Office get away with it. Sign the open letter today. Uniting forces to see justice done for the victims of the Windrush / Home Office scandal.

This petitio is only at 7000 signatures which I think is a bit mad. The Home Office deported UK citizens, some of whom died without being allowed home. People still can't work or use the NHS. Others went without for years and now need compensation πŸ‘‡πŸΎ

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.

So, I gave in to FOMO and created my account here. Not sure how much I'll actually post, but nice to come and see who else is here 😊
