The time has come for us, as an organisation, to boycott @pinknews.bsky.social.

Despite reservations about the company, we have sometimes worked with queer and trans reporters there to tell stories we thought were important for our community - the same as other outlets.

That ends today. Why?

Trying to catch up on archives masters study on a Sunday night because I've been too busy with overtime in the archive & slow surgery recovery and may have written an annoyed rant about local authority archivists being overworked and over capacity on a discussion board, oops

A magazine wrote an article about my F1 art and have been kinda crappy about sharing anything with me so I've been super anxious about whether they wrote something that I feel actually represents me, I'm finally getting my copy of the magazine tomorrow so I can find out what it says 😂

There is one I've looked up before nearby, it would be tempting to learn how to use one! I only want to do simple straight lines I think so probably an easy one to start with.

Photo of 3 sawtooth star quilt blocks in cream, pinks and oranges

Start of a new quilting project - I have 7 colourways, each with 3 variations, and making 3 blocks of each variation. Adding sashing as well to make a full king size 100 inch quilt with double layered batting, no idea where I'll lay it out to make the sandwich or how I'll fit it through my machine 😂

If you're doomscrolling, guess what? So far there are 51 kākāpō chicks hatched and thriving this season, the same number of birds as we had in TOTAL in the 90s! Only one chick has died and there are still fertile eggs waiting to hatch!

Culture and Leisure at Risk, Glasgow 2026 - eblknd
