Delighted that my piece A Fanny For All Seasons has been selected for The House of Smalls exhibition In Her Hands. If in Edinburgh for the festival do go along (check web for opening hours). 2nd pic Fanny Cradock’s Pistachio icecream. Lush! I think @regretteruane.bsky.social would approve!

Is welfare spending ''out of control''? It's estimated to be 11.1 per cent of GDP this financial year. That's just 1.1 per cent of GDP higher than in 2007-08, and total welfare spending has actually fallen by 0.9 per cent of GDP since 2012-13 ⤵️
I did an interview with the fab @hardeepmatharu.bsky.social from @bylinetimes.bsky.social and here it is, for those who have not yet heard my lengthy discourse on why genAI often sucks, why techbros definitely suck, and why a U16 social media ban is downright stupid: bylinetimes.com/2026/07/21/t...

JKR and her new org apparently helped get the new Amnesty International report on how TERF organizations destroy lives taken down from their site. Well, guess what? The Streisand Effect is real. Here's the entire report in a thread. Read it. Share it.
Alejandra Caraballo@esqueer.net · 4w agoAmnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.
The Covid-19 inquiry into PPE has found that almost 2/3 (£10 billion) were wasted but there is NO evidence of cronyism or corruption? You’ve GOT to be kidding me! Is it down to the government using disappearing WhatsApp messages and/or the inquiry not digging deep enough? Embroideries from the time
Oh no! So sad to here about the death of the very wonderful Sam Neil. Brilliant actor (he starred in two of my favourite films The Piano and Hunt for the Wilderpeople) and fabulous environmentalist. He cared!

Hey button gals! Thought of you when I read the article in last weekend’s FT HTSI mag on buttons. Apparently the Giacometti pair for Schiaparelli are on sale for £75,000! @urbankisses.bsky.social @collettwriter.bsky.social @leabysea.bsky.social @tusenoch.bsky.social
Tonight I will be putting on my “Margot” dress and raising a glass of Pea-pod wine to the magnificent Penelope Keith!
Here’s June Fanny! Over on insta I featured her ice cream recipes from her 1974 book Fanny Cradock’s Common Market Cookery ITALY Going to have a go at the Pistachio one. Not sure I’ve got any green food colouring though… #embroidery #fannycradock
Climate emergency cancels Reform's "cancel the climate emergency" meeting - council members were due to vote on Thurs on a Reform motion to rescind the climate emergency.
7 Prime Ministers in 10 years; an embroidered gallery. As the excellent @davidallengreen.bsky.social says the problem is we keep appointing poor Prime Ministers. It’s an input issue not an output issue. Will the next one be any good? We shall have to wait and see! #embroidery
If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage. The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.” It’s about control.
Sounds like a pretty good Starmer post-mortem, too. (Who had "listen to Hunter Biden" on their Bingo card?)
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · last mo.Hunter Biden gives his thoughts on last night’s elections in NY. What do you think?
Code Red for the planet. There is a special place in hell for those who deny climate change and work actively against it! Section of embroidery from my piece Covid-19 a handkerchief Part 7 #embroidery #climatechange #toohot
Happy first birthday to this @privateeyenews.bsky.social #cartoon Who knew #embroidery was this intense? (Apart from @radicalembroiderer.bsky.social obviously...)
