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

@Etsy Hello @Etsy, any chance of answering my question? 👆

[Alex🌈 @knitterbird]

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?

[Alex🌈 @knitterbird]

@Etsy And if your house rules haven't taken discrimination/undermining mental health conditions? That's what I'd like to talk to someone about. The link just takes me back to a page I've already tried without success.

Juan, how do I have an actual conversation with someone?

[Alex🌈 @knitterbird]

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. 🏳️‍⚧️

[Alex🌈 @knitterbird]

@PartridgeToffee We agreed not to talk about that. It was a long time ago ok?

[Alex🌈 @knitterbird]

This! 👇

[I'm on BlueSky now @athenakugblenu]

do you know how mad it is that we now think cis male predators will GET THEMSELVES SICK then GET ADMITTED TO HOSPITAL then LIE ABOUT BEING TRANS so they can get access to people to abuse?

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 he's been named apparently #BBCPresenterScandal

Come and say hello. Same anti-rightwing rants and knitting, but with added photos of nice stuff https://t.co/WV7pYFNibW

[Alex🌈 @knitterbird]

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!

[Alex🌈 @knitterbird]

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)

[Alex🌈 @knitterbird]

A valuable life lesson for us all I feel

"#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".

I briefly forgot what an absolute belter of a track the Communards' Never Can Say Goodbye is.

The wife and I did linocut for the 1st time today and, honestly, pretty bloody proud at what we made!

@fesshole I mean....

[Alex🌈 @knitterbird]

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.

[Alex🌈 @knitterbird]

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
