I don't know about you, but adulting feels especially hard today.

Hi @Etsy how can I talk to someone about items for sale on your site that are discriminatory and/or actively undermine vital public awareness about common mental health conditions?

Bollocks to the Tories and their unforgivable transphobic shit stirring. I will never vote for bullies, especially bullying by people with so much power against those without. 🏳️‍⚧️

A couple of months ago, I heard from an insider that the Tories were up for blowing every dog whistle & playing every culture war card they could for the election - nothing's off limits. Suella's proving them absolutely right. #CPC23

Literally seen someone complain about a museum posting something around LGBTQ+ because apparently we've had a whole month (I shit you not). I'm guessing we go back to hiding in a cupboard until next June and then.... 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

So I'm going to try #ThreadsApp, see if it's any good. Come and find me there - same name @knitterbird, same bio, different photo (but I reckoned you could all cope)

Wait, you can block words you don't want to see? That's incredible. I'm adding all the right-wing homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ablist, dog-whistlers out there!

"#Sunak says he "fundamentally disagrees" with the Court of Appeal ruling against #Rwanda asylum plan", Course he does, but wouldn't it have been so much more delicious if he'd said "agree 100%. Braverman is a total nutjob & we're booting her out".

Dear friends, the world is beyond batshit mental so I decided to add some wholesome normality. I cycled 28 miles, had a picnic with friends in the sun, walked a couple of miles through dappled woodland. It was a perfect day. That is all.

I just learned that my wife once had a cooking blog called "two girls forking". I'm not sure how, after 5.5years together I just learned this but.... kinda genius, kinda jealous
