The evil hair is BACK. I'm loving this series so much, it's utterly bonkers. #Mystic9

Frith 🐉 An Odd Type of Dragon@oddtypeofdragon.bsky.social · 2d ago

This round of Mystic 9 definitely has a much higher budget than the previous. There's a ton of wire-work and they've stretched to a cgi giant snake instead of having the actors pretend to be attacked by wigs

Fig harvest! There will be more tomorrow and for weeks afterwards, as figs ripen sequentially.

Signed up to some more markets! I had a great time on Saturday at the Big Queer Day Party.

Well, that's horrifying!

Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · 2d ago

Leaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.

I'm having an absolute rest day today after the very stressful last couple of months. And I'm watching TV for the first time in absolutely ages. New Mystic 9! I'm about 10 minutes in and it's already really outdoing itself with Camera Angles.

I just got a comment on my Xinyue fic for Mystic 9 and I reread it and it's really good actually. I miss writing 💔

Birthday parties have so much admin before and after but I think I've conquered it all! 🎉 (Pro-tip for going to children's parties: write who the present is from *on the wrapping paper* and save whoever is writing thank you notes from high-stakes guessing!)

My best Numberblock cake so far! (Red velvet inside.) And it survived the bike ride perfectly.

A dragon sitting leaf! Custom #sewing order for @kthxrawr.bsky.social 😁 (Small leaves like this are £35. I have been asked to share prices more often although it feels awkward!)

Unbeatable product idea: You know how library books have RFID tags in now so you can check them in/out by just piling them on the desk? They should also have little beep tags so that you can find them in your house when you're trying to return them.

Cafe #sewing today with a friend. These are going to be more embroidered necklaces. (I made the circular templates with the divisions and printed them onto sticky washaway stabiliser.)

Idk if this will affect me w/ new NHS number and GRC - but shit like this is why I'm essentially a single issue voter now and the issue is "stop treating me and other trans people as 2nd class citizens and trampling on our rights", and its crazy how few parties actually pass that incredibly low bar

"Sex at birth (observed)" is now a mandatory data item in the NHS core information standard (v2.0.1). It also appears (if I am reading this correctly) that gender identity and pronouns have been removed. The NHS are transphobic as fuck!!! standards.nhs.uk/published-st...

New leaves! #sewing

Tiny Dragon has determinedly got out of bed, is refusing to go back into it, and is now making a barricade and protest signs.

I'm going to have a stall at the Big Queer Party on the 1st August! Manzil Way Garden, Cowley Road, Oxford (18+ event)

What do you mean, "breaks silence", he was only appointed ten minutes ago, he hasn't had enough time to *be* silent

Well, I really like Haigh

POV: You're lost at night on a dark ocean and then suddenly you spot a person dressed as a bat with her little trusty lobster who has a candle for showing the way in the dark

Is it going to be Wes Streeting?

1. After pushing anti-trans laws to ‘protect women’s sports’, Project 2025’s Heritage Foundation now wants women’s sports gone to ‘assist fertility.’ Turns out it was about women’s sports all along—if getting rid of women's sports counts, that is.

It’s #NonBinaryPeoplesDay! I’m one of them things! Go buy my books to celebrate. 🥳 If you like pirates, penguins, and pterosaurs. wizardstowerpress.com/books-2/book...

So, like, we should get her training for Gladiators, right??

Continual fuck these big tech wreckers and also fuck everyone voluntarily going along with and using AI shit. "But it's so convenieeeeeeent..." I don't care. Fuck you.

Campaign against Climate Change@campaigncc.bsky.social · 4w ago

Microsoft emissions up 25% in a single year Google emissions up 25% Amazon emissions up 16% Big tech's climate pledges are being swept away in the insatiable race for AI profits.

Ellie's gran has just jokingly told off other relatives for using the kitchen sink after she'd dried it, and I have so many questions.

Thank you Met Office weather app, I feel I can hazard a guess

Today was Tiny Dragon's turn to perform, with her gymnastics club! They did an adorable dance routine - can't show you that because other kids are in the video, but here's her doing an incredible during the normal activities part of the session!

This is a really good article by @nancymk.bsky.social A lot of trans people know how bad it is for trans kids. A lot of cis people do not know. Please share this widely with the cis people in your life. The UK is making life impossible for trans children.

Trans+ children and their families are living with the cumulative impact of a government targeting them and making their lives less safe, says @nancymk.bsky.social 

Did my concert with Oxford Proud Voices and it was so good!!

Today was Tiny Dragon's school's summer fete! For my sins I have joined the PTA so spent three hours running the teddy tombola right in front of a music speaker, plus setup and takedown. Shattered now.
