@LynnMcNair You are the best ❤️

@ScotRail when will you bring your all time off peak trial onboard? (Intentional pun fyi!) Be kind to your commuters! I for one am on the brink of getting a car and driving into work because your Edinburgh-Glasgow £27.60/day is too much to cope with. Shame for 🌎💔

@hashtagMullins @J_J_1234_ @SpiritKitten @pamdeschanel Yes tenants have a recipe for really icky mould that they make, lots and lots of, which they spread all over the house and the fridge & often it’s told that they roll in it at full moon. Also they make the garden overgrow ALL over the place with a spell 🪄terrible people.

@drrachelhewitt Thank you so much for sharing, sending you so much strength

[Maija Nygren 🕷 @AlmaBorealis]

@drrachelhewitt I have so many thoughts/questions - to you - to everyone - to life 🫣

[Maija Nygren 🕷 @AlmaBorealis]

@drrachelhewitt Helps to be in the present moment. I worry about achieving those - what about when present moment finishes? A cascade of pain that was ‘put on hold’? Is grief put on hold/blocked when not felt or does the grief process tick along ‘behind the scenes’?

[Maija Nygren 🕷 @AlmaBorealis]

@drrachelhewitt The running perhaps builds a safe foundation to allow for the grief space to exist, to be ‘softer’ if that is a thing. That makes a lot of sense, inspiring.

@JaneyGodley Finding the love of my life, the most spectacular person I could’ve dreamt of, spending glorious months with him and on Valentine’s Day when he was to meet my mum, finding him dead in his flat 💔

@fdjardine Popping one foot infront of the other and wondering the meaning of life sums some of it up, the surface of it! Thank you x

@isabelkaplan My BF was a gem. He put on his reading glasses, learned to sew and sat down with me sewing in the end yarns of my knitwear pieces until early hrs for a photoshoot next day. He championed me and so many ❤️Pains me through n through to say he passed away on Valentine’s Day. 💔

[Maija Nygren 🕷 @AlmaBorealis]

@JoAnnunaki Honestly, how how how such beauty is possible?

Great thread on why we don’t mend our clothes no more 🪡

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

doing a story about why Americans don't mend clothes anymore and was talking to Linda Przybyszewski, author of The Lost Art of Dress. she brought up a really good point: ppl don't mend clothes because clothes have become simpler, which has contributed to their cheapening 🧵

@nielanell @Speedcrafter Just the best thing ever! I wish I could stay but must get to bed!

[Maija Nygren 🕷 @AlmaBorealis]

[Maija Nygren 🕷 @AlmaBorealis]

Entered 2023 on a high; own flat, new studio, new job…but the best of all - met my soulmate ❤️ Couldn’t have ever imagined for him to pass away,on Valentine’s Day. Me and Alma are ploughing through pain, trying to understand why our time together was cut so cruelly short💔
