After tapering down my posting here I'm going to see if I can get it down to a round "0".

I'm "UnionisedDavid" at the other place as well.

whenever one of my tapestries goes viral on social media, it reminds me that people largely understand what I’m trying to do with my work, and the pieces are meaningful and helpful to a lot of folks I’ll never meet. I appreciate all the kind words and encouragement 🥲

Cold feet?

[AFL-CIO ✊ @AFLCIO]

Right now, billionaires and corporate CEOs are getting paid 268 (!!!) times what workers do.

The status quo is bad for working people, and our unions will fight to make sure workers get their fair share. https://t.co/HIdEhIqJcd

The frost on the branches was beautiful this morning. A kingfisher didn’t mind getting its feet cold.

Deeply honoured to have my work recognised in this way.

[tabitha arnold @thetolerantweft]

Hey, my hometown paper profiled me and honestly did a great job representing the themes of my work. Socialism is back baby!

[Our Revolution @OurRevolution]

can't argue that 💁‍♀️

It was very cold along the River Chess this morning. There was a sharp frost on all the usual branches. The kingfisher made us wait for 90 mins before this spectacular display.
