We did it!!! 💪💪💪 We've raised enough money 2 move the Library! But we couldn't have done it without all the fab feminists who've supported us on this incredible journey: our donors, friends, followers, fabulous feminist design team, journalists, & all the amazing artists(1/2)

Just three weeks left to run for our New Home Crowdfunder. Can you help us smash the £30,000 target and more? £30,000 will enable us to do the bare minimum of physically moving and securing our collection. Anything else would be a welcome bonus! crowdfunder.co.uk/help-the-f…

Yo @MakitaTools! Make you a deal, rather than drag you through the Internet- you mail out some power tools to lady DIY vloggers, if we beat your view count by say...50x, you drop this Miss Makita nonsense and switch to equipment sponsorships. They're cheaper and more effective. xitter.cf/RealSexyCyborg/status/…
But now I'm thinking how much fun it would be to get a diverse group of ladies shape/sizes/shades, do it progressively and properly but still fun- and sell 10x as many tools... xitter.cf/sawdustbear/status/979…
