I love playing around with different techniques of crochet, quilting and sewing, and sometimes this results in things people might want to own. If you like colourful, practical, squishy items then take a look at my online shop.

There are plenty of links between the anti-trans “women’s rights” movement & anti-feminist conservatism. And opposing abortion is a logical conclusion for a movement that says no, you should not have agency over your own body; no, you do not know best about yourself; no, you have no choice.
No way I’m sharing Stock’s UnHerd article. But I am going to point to this bit which amply demonstrates the anti-trans=>anti-women’s rights pipeline. “Abortions should only be done for a highly restricted set of reasons. They should not be just nodded through for any reason a pregnant woman likes.”

If you ever feel the need to go out and say "it's my fault people are racist to me", you should try the alternative of simply walking into the sea and never being heard from ever again
Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood made more explicit her argument that when ethnic minorities face racism, "we have no choice but to ask: what is the cause of our division"
Her answer is the level of net migration, 2019-23 causes racism. (She on Monday said it was caused by the scale of asylum)

People who say "we're wolves not sheep" have never seen two ewes trying to murder each other over relative status in the flock before they give birth, and then all their friends and family picking sides because being friends with the winner will raise THEIR status, until there is a massive brawl
Revenge/physical combat was how people settled things for literally millions of years, it's normal human behavior, we're wolves not sheep, the government project trying to social engineer us and domesticate us into sheep has been unsuccessful

Whyyyyy could I get a ticket from Manchester Oxford Road to Edinburgh last month, changing at Lancaster, but now the same operator is telling me my only option is to "change" twice in Warrington? One does not simply change at Warrington. It's a whole-ass walk across town.

Wow if only there was some sort of fairly recent historical precedent warning us about the dangers of slicing up and reselling debt across the financial landscape.
WSJ: “.. If the AI market blows up, the blast radius would be wide, hitting not only Wall Street firms, but also pensions, mutual and exchange-traded funds and individual investors, because of how debt is often sliced and resold across the financial landscape.”
