My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

A great selection of Welsh clothing manufacturers here for anyone wanting to ditch fast fashion this Christmas: "let’s be proud that we still have Welsh manufacturing and design excellence standing tall among the best brands out there. And where we can, let’s show them our support this Christmas."

I leant upon a coppice gate When Frost was spectre-gray, And Winter’s dregs made desolate The weakening eye of day. The tangled bine-stems scored the sky Like strings of broken lyres, And all mankind that haunted nigh Had sought their household fires.

I would like to speak up today for the trans community. You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Indigo leaf colours on silk, colours from this season. Using the leaf fresh is an easy process, it bypasses the need for a vat and creates lighter blues and a base for over-dyeing.

Well things are progressing well. Still very early stages. Head whirls with all the things to remember but I've parked all the negative thoughts and enjoy it. Loving pottery.

Today is my first day of pottery since 1986. Hope my hands hold out. Fingers crossed. Capability being before rather than after.

This is a good piece by Fintan O’Toole on how the “old gods” of Ireland were (and continue to be) constantly repurposed by whoever wrote about them, largely because we know nothing about them: www.nybooks.com/articles/201...
