It’s this www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fundraiser...
And I don’t want to spam people, waste energy shouting into the ether or use irritating marketing ploys. I just genuinely believe in what he’s trying to do and in him as a human.
This is where I miss Twitter. I had a lovely community there (well, three really) and I’ve not quite managed to get my head round BlueSky in the same way.
I need some tips on how to help someone in Uganda to fundraise for course fees & then their NGO - #NotAScam!
Today I have 8 hours before I go to bed and about 14 hours of tasks. And about 2 hours of productive energy.
Where’s a logistics expert when I need one?!
If you have any suggestions how this young man can fund the last bit of his training and his future NGO, please shout (or donate)! I only wish I could bankroll it myself www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/fundraiser...
I look forward to us finding a way of crafting that plays to your strengths :-)
Yey! Maybe see you there? Health permitting, I will be hosting a notebook-making workshop (drop-in sort) in the Art Studio one day if you fancy some gentle crafting. (I am also on the hunt for a PA so my other half gets time away from caring to do his own thing)
Always leg of lamb for Easter
I think it’s British sense of humour. Think of the visit as a way of reminding you why you chose independence from having one person as sole ruler - in other words, a support of #NoKings except our royalty can’t be seen to do politics…
Beyond shocked. This is (was) iconic Glasgow.
Dydd Gwyl Dewi Sant - St David’s Day. Our patron saint.
David’s love of God was lived out in the moment-by-moment of everyday life, prayer and relationships, not empty grand gestures. Whether digging or preaching, he was the same.
May we learn from his example.
Playing with handmade paper from Wild Plant Paper.
The dark is oak leaf. The pale is recycled coffee cup and the white shell is recycled mounting board dried onto an actual shell from Mumbles (shell was returned!).
Need to start selling to fund my habit. Eek.
ADHD life - the multiple drinks on the go at the same time edition.
Today’s selection:
Miso
Espresso with added oat milk
Chai latte with added protein powder because I forgot breakfast…
‘They’ = the T-shirts. The notebooks are gorgeous. The inners are papermill made eco-papers. My favourite is ElliePoo (plant fibre inclusions washed from Sri Lankan elephant dung in high quality recycled off-white paper)
The spines of 16 narrow notebooks. They are hand sewn, each with a different rainbow colour of embroidery thread. The covers are dark and from hand-made papers.
These are More Than Notebooks, soon to be available from Wild Plant Paper (or via me).
The black cotton paper covers used to be a cotton T-shirt. A bit like me, they could have been discarded when no longer fit for purpose - but have been repurposed rather beautifully.
I start new meds for migraine tomorrow.
Only 15 months late…
I emailed neurology to ask how much longer I had to wait. Turns out they sent an e-letter to the GP 15 months ago with advice/no need for me to be seen in person.
GP hadn’t downloaded the letter. He did today.
Co = with, together, in partnership
Production = producing something
Shift context to any other form of production, eg film industry. I don’t think producer A would be impressed if they did all the work then producer B ran an eye over a finished film and was billed as a co-producer…
Really annoyed with Josh’s dissing of George, although I can understand why the love bird is stressy about another man being praised by Esmee #TheArchers
As one of the ‘everyone’ I experienced all the frustrations of @kolektiv.xyncro.com PLUS I had no idea what most of the course descriptions actually meant! And that was just when I was looking at beginners level.
I think I will just ask my fave AI (Claude) for a simple guide to mastering prompts.
I see Bruce Springsteen has released a new single youtu.be/wWKSoxG1K7w?...
It won’t stop a bullet. But it may stop assumptions of non compliance when someone simply loses or does not have speech.
MnNEAT have created cards for everyday neurodivergent people like me who ever expected to need them.
New: Alex Pretti, the man killed by the Trump-Vance mob of agents was an outdoorsmen, a mountain biker, an ICU nurse who "would go out of his way to help," say Veterans Affairs colleagues.
Cheerful. Funny. Gentle.
And still, per sources, Trump officials are urging staff to call him a "terrorist."

PS, I facilitated the notebook workshop :-)
Side story:
There actually was one Barbie in the Barbie Movie who I surprised myself by identifying with.
I’ll let you guess which one that was. Clue: she didn’t behave or look like the others. And she lived on a hill.
Anyone who know me will I agree that I’m no Barbie. But I have no issues with Barbie being a very different woman to me.
I don’t routinely use AAC (alternative, augmented communication). But I have no issues with Autistic Barbie being autistic differently to me.
Well I wasn’t expecting that ending #TheArchers

Two are recycled coffee cups, one is mixed bouquet, one is oak leaves and one is hay.
Can you guess which is which? (Paper by Wild Plant Paper wildplantpaper.etsy.com)
Three small cards, each with an acrylic brush pen design. The card is a flecked pink-ish beige.
Let’s talk single use coffee cups. They still exist and they still get discarded. So… why not collect them, process them and turn them into something useful? Check out wildplantpaper.etsy.com for workshops to learn the ‘how to’

Is it a true #JunkJournal if you’ve made the paper for the book from waste pumpkins and land-fill-headed supermarket flowers? Or does it need to be waste / repurposed paper? These are a mix of handmade plant paper cover & repurposed old notebook.
