Shame on you!

"I'd never seen a child's body ripped in half before. I'd never seen a baby without a head. I'd never seen people being burned alive. Or children's eyes burst from their skulls. Or remains of the dead packed in plastic bags. Till Israel's genocide in Gaza. Never forget." –Hamza Yusuf

Hear hear! I was also thinking today about Countess Ablaze and the Knitting Goddess. I still have several skeins of each in my stash for the future!

They were using this child as bait! These people are EVIL!

Another #ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 post from me! Kirsty @ Wharfedale Woolworks now seems to concentrate on dyeing fibre and handspinning art yarn, but back in the day I bought a lot of her hand dyed Yorkshire Rose BFL Sock yarn and knit a lot of shawls in it. I love her colour sense.

#ShowMeYourKnits 🧶 Another favourite indie dyer is Victoria @ @edencottageyarns.bsky.social - beautiful tonal colours on soft as butter bases

They are fucking BANNING trans inclusive freedom of association what the actual FUCK

One year has passed since the tragic death of Dr. Adnan Alborsh, one of Gaza’s most respected surgeons, who was tortured to death in Israeli prisons after being detained while being on duty. #gaza #israel #zionism #palestine #torture

Imagine the outrage if this were Russia’s Foreign Minister. A blocked arrest warrant. A secret visit to the UK. Radio silence from the British press isn’t accidental. It’s complicity.

We live in a world where no one from Jeffrey Epstein's sex offenders list has been prosecuted because they are rich and powerful but at least 4 of their victims have been driven to suicide.

Finding joy through fiber arts (or any arts) has many purposes. One of the most important uses is fighting back against fascism or those who want to rob us of joy & creativity. Fascists want to strip us of creativity & make sure we have no time. Carve out that space. 🧶 Fiber arts ARE a weapon. ⚔️

In the wake of what Judge Dugan did (100% legal), now is a good time for everyone to know what she knows: An immigration or administrative warrant is *not* a judicial warrant. You are not obliged to obey it. Indeed, you can let the person out the back door. docs.google.com/presentation...

Actually fuck off. Who is the EHRC to tell voluntary associations what to and what not to do?

ACLU says another three US citizen children were disappeared from their own country today: www.aclu.org/press-releas...

How can this be happening, if it’s true that the public were clamouring for a mean as fuck do-nothing Labour government led by repellent briefcase psychos, as we have been angrily assured they were over and over at remarkable volume and intensity for years on end?

The Autism "study" will be led by a guy who pretended to be a doctor even though he only has a BA in bio and who attempted a small-scale genocide of autistic people through chemical castration, so you know it'll be legit.
