My mental health declined pretty badly last wk but some of you asked for more photos like the hunt-the-tiny-owl one I made & I wanted to try to make an advent calendar so:some lovely things that fell off trees & this time a tiny deer stag to find.
Do let me know if you enjoy this & I'll make more 🦌
Cones, sycamore keys, dried berries, acorns & their caps, seedheads & lichen twigs arranged on a white background. Hidden in the photo is a tiny deer stag for you to find.

One of the arguments for PFI: the private sector would deliver better quality hospitals. The reality? A litany of dangerous failures. 🏥⚠️

I have a bunch of ready-to-ship figurines in my shop, all excited to get adopted, and all designed and hand-painted by my partner and me.

www.etsy.com/shop/TheBeas...
A dragon figurine lying on her stomach with her hands folded on the ground in front of her. Her head is tilted to the side and she has a gentle smile. Her tail curls up behind her. She has no wings, but thick rounded plates running down the length of her back. She's painted in a glossy rainbow gradient, starting with red at her head, and ending with purple at her tail tip. Her underside is a flushed magenta to light pink. Her back plates have black and gold stripes painted on them, her horns are black, and her eyes are gold. The shop name, the beast boutique, watermarks the image. A turtle magnet painted phthalo green. The shell is lighter in the middle than the edge. Half of the shell is painted with horizontal gold lines, the other half with golden polka dots. There are gold scales painted on the body. The shop name, the beast boutique, watermarks the image. A goose figurine painted in the colors of the ace pride flag, its head black, with feathers transitioning into grey, then white, and finally plum purple on the ends of the wings. In the background, a cutely proportioned elephant figurine is painted similarly. The shop name, the beast boutique, watermarks the image.

If you’ve been thinking about applying for the EHRC Commissioner roles, please, please do!

Falkner and Reindorf will soon be out and there is a real desire for representatives of our 🏳️‍⚧️ community on the Board.

Be quick though — the deadline is midday on Monday 1st December

It’s not too late, and there is a real desire for people from the trans community to apply

archive.ph/UQia8

Application details here:
apply-for-public-appointment.service.gov.uk/roles/9026?b...
It is understood that some Labour MPs as well as figures in the wider policy sector believe the current impasse is a distraction from other pressing issues, including the rise of the far right and its impact on the communities served by the EHRC. They have been encouraging applications for the commissioner roles from those they feel take a more nuanced approach to trans inclusion. One Labour backbencher said: “As these posts are coming up, it’s important to have that broad range of experience and expertise on the board, and within those discussions we’ve been saying please do encourage people from the trans community to consider it, or have you thought of applying? “That broad range was essential from when EHRC was first set up but may have been narrowed with more political appointments under the Conservatives. “When a group of us met some of the current board members and the current chair, we felt very strongly that an understanding of the impact of the supreme court ruling on the trans community wasn’t there.” Another Labour backbencher said they hoped more people would apply: “We need commissioners with real world experience of the issues they grapple with.” Stonewall said the arrival of the new chair and commissioners was an opportunity “to rebuild an EHRC that re-establishes fairness, balance, and respect at its core”. CEO Simon Blake said: “We are living in a time of uncertainty and turbulence for many; this is an opportunity to review the strategic approach of our National Human Rights Institute so everyone – including trans people – can benefit from the rights and freedoms the EHRC is constituted to protect and defend.”

With Black Friday behind us, we can return to the important things - like Caturday.

And honestly… did the worship ever stop? 😹

Black Friday feeling too loud?

Follow the White Rabbit somewhere quieter to support artists and small businesses. 🥰
