Bothers wool. Thinks animals are ok. Reads a lot. Dreams of boats and land trains. Might one day get my shit together. Like some felt art? https://ko-fi.com/woolbotherer She/her

The Israeli defense minister is openly threatening the life of GretaThunberg and other unarmed peace activists on an aid ship. Where the f**k are the world’s leaders? The world’s media?

@woolbotherer.bsky.social hello - that indistinct shape on the strap of my bag - is one of your wool cats badges. A stall holder at Spitalfields market stopped me today to praise it. “I’ve a cat just like it” she said.

One of the neighbour’s cats climbed a tree and sat herself down in an (old) nest. We knew she was there, but like a constantly foiled Bigfoot hunt my camera on a stick could only catch the edge of some fluff, or the hint of an ear. But I persevered, until.. I like that she seems disappointed in me

Pulp all look like teachers that lost their school pupils in a cave collapse in 1987.

CORRECTION: apparently Lord Alom here buys fancy watches like the rest of us buy Boots meal deals, and frankly he's got a nerve. Buy his watch and wear it to clean the shower drain.

Humanist friends! Rodney is a remarkable young man trying to help run a school in Uganda. I’ve been trying to help him. He needs £200 to register the school and I am selling a watch of mine to raise this money. If any of you buy it, I’ll give you a signed copy of my new book BEFORE it is published!

Me at the market when the modem died: 'it's fine you can use my mobile hotspot' Me 5 seconds later when I remember what I called it 'oh shit'

I hope everyone is OK

just that period reminder that content posted to Bluesky is public to *anybody*. if you don't want to see it used in a court of law, don't post it here. and DMs here are not E2EE, they can be subpoened. a great use for bsky DMs is to share secure comms and move the conversation there.

At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

Hey everyone, you want to know a fun factoid? Almost all of the federal agents currently in LA aren’t local, which means they’re staying at a hotel somewhere. Hotels have fire alarms. Wanna know another fun fact? If protests start popping off in other states, they can’t be everywhere at once.

Loving my new stickers & enamel pin made by @reforest-kelley.bsky.social!! Awesome high quality materials and vivid colors in every one ❤️🖖🏽😍😎

Buried treasure! Hide some treasure in a box. Make a map to it and display that nearby or hand it out to passers by. See if someone finds it. Let us know how you get on #FISH #treasure #artchallenge #scavengerhunt

Folks, meet Mapuna, a white kiwi who lives at Pūkaha wildlife centre. Pūkaha needs urgent funding to stay open and look after manu taogna like him, they've only got about 10% of what they need so far. Help them out if you can: pukaha-donation-appeal.raiselysite.com

Mizpah. I have given this one a bit of #oilsticks treatment, not over the top, just enough to perk it up. #Staithes #Beck #Yorkshire #marineart #oils

Something a bit light hearted. Some futuristic costumes.

Yeah not to be over-reactionary about this but I really think adverts like this should be illegal. This is plastered all over Old Street station.

IT'S NOT THE FUCKING WEATHER, NAOMI, JESUS CHRIST

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

All of these you attack Trump you attack me people are so deeply weird. I don't think I have ever got defensive of a politician, I mean even if you attacked my friend Brian my default reaction would probably be to sit and laugh. If you attacked one of my kids I would probably do something I guess

I need everyone to see the demon chickens that are Brandt's cormorant youngsters. A thread! 🧵🌿🪶
