Absolutely fab evening @fiveleavesbooks.bsky.social with @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social on #AHDN - such a joy to read her unapologetically fan-driven analysis (she doesn't hold back from gushing about how handsome the band were) that nevertheless dives deep into the film's social context + influence 🥰
My collection on my 'goes everywhere bag' - my friend's Chopsy badge, Trans Rights Are Human Rights, I am an Ally rainbow, and a Trans flag badge. I usually clip any lanyard required to my bag strap.
My mum (pic 1) would have been 95 today. Her mum (supporting a mini-Lisa walking in pic 2) died on this day in 1987 - yup, my mum's 56th birthday. Mum then died in 1999 on my dad's 75th birthday, which was also their 34th wedding anniversary 🤦🏼♀️😭 (pic 3 as we marked his 80th birthday).
May have been to @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social Massive haul of joy, some pre-ordered, and lots to relish! The Worrysaurus by Rachel Bright + Chris Chatterton (to remind me to call my friend CMB) Young World @somancy.bsky.social Survival Show @junodawson.bsky.social 1/
Love this card - possibly Bleaklow Hill in the Peaks? Anyway: yes to running away to a sweet location to just sit and read 🥰🥰🥰
Can't recall if I shared these pics from my shelves (I shredded the two High Treason volumes a few tears back @the400blows.bsky.social )
Frogface vs Binface. Though I was interested to see the caption shown in screenshot below come up! Portuguese???
Well this is a joy to receive when I feel like garbage! #WhereWeStand #WhereWeFall @lizbethmyles.bsky.social
Shiny new tee for @nudgecloud.bsky.social from @masatojones.bsky.social 💖
Finally finished this purple dress from over a year ago - it was designed to be much longer and between the length + the balloon hem, I had put it aside in frustration. Today as we approach the end of #MeMafeMay2026 I've finally finished it! 🥳 Didn't finish in time to wear to @ucu.org.uk Congress 🤦🏼♀️
As cuts destroy our university... We fight back ✊🏼💜🩷💜🩷 #WeAreTheUniversity @uonucu.bsky.social @ucu.org.uk

Tomorrow we stand together. Friday 22 May 2026 West entrance (by roundabout Beeston end) #WeAreTheUniversity
An unexpected arrival today of this book by my friend Silvano Levy. My earliest research explored her life + work, so seeing this come to fruition provides great vicarious pleasure. Circumstances limited my personal capacity to be the author of such a volume, but I take such joy from it existing.
Corking collection of images by our mighty @tregenza.bsky.social of yesterday's rally tregenza.com/uon-ucu-may-... Especially fond of this one capturing the @uonucu.bsky.social dance moves to a special remix of the VC 'compact' speech 🤣 Are we ready to fight? Are we ready to win? Hella yeah ✊🏼
Yay for #MeMadeMay2026 another @uonucu.bsky.social rally wearing #MeMadeSewing lilac and yellow geometric jacket + pink denim pinafore dress, with pink tights, pink scarf and dusky pink mohair butterfly #DippyCloche by Woody & Blue Millinery with my flock red flower shoes. Knitting @ucu.org.uk pink
Just arrived - beautiful Japan illustration image tee by @masatojones.bsky.social #ShopIndie
And the #MeMadeCrochet hexicardigan is FINALLY finished 🎉 I'm calling it DONE by end of April* so it's my most recent #MeMadeMay2026 item Love handmade items, by me @masatojones.bsky.social + Haroun W&B millinery ❤️ *Crochet finished yesterday, back sewn up by 12:05am today, ends sewm in today 🤣
I can't ALWAYS buy a new hat when I see Haroun #JubileeMarket but his Woody & Blue designs make my heart sing so much 🥰 so today was ANOTHER HAT day and I feel FABULOUS woodyandbluehats.com/pages/about-me
Lovely afternoon with @notrock.bsky.social doing #TCHine architecture walk - erudite and entertaining in equal measure.
Looks like a few more members being recruited for @uonucu.bsky.social thanks to lots of great conversations at the Staff Information Fair
Our Staff Information Fair stalls for @uonucu.bsky.social (and other unions are there!) is being peopled RIGHT NOW!
For those used to my stylish @ucu.org.uk postbox selfies, apologies: this one is a 'dragging myself from my sick bed' selfie getting the important @uonucu.bsky.social ballot posted. Now if someone can turn off my snot tap, I'd be grateful 😭
Found enough spoons to get myself to #BromleyHouseLibrary + see @ellygriffiths.bsky.social
