Apparently my husband is the UK’s foremost expert in fixing Twirlywoos Big Red Boat toys. I’m so proud ❤️

This is obvious, but if people broadly rely on a black box to give them answers that help them understand the world, whoever controls the black box controls those answers and therefore the understanding that comes from them.

Openness is safety.

I love the accurate depiction of Dexter. Even the colouring’s spot on

What even is this gremlin living in my house?

This year for Lent, I am giving up

High as a kite and minus three teeth

The face of a cat who’s just been told he can’t have food until tomorrow afternoon

You know when you’ve got three cats and one of them starts scooching after pooping but you only witness the aftermath so you don’t know which one it is and so you have to feel all of their buttholes?

Caturday Night’s Alright (For Fighting)

As if I haven’t spent enough on this cat in vet bills already…

Quick reminder that if you see a headline from a source you’ve never heard of that isn’t being reported by anyone else, you really should do some due diligence before spreading it around as fact. There’s enough misinformation floating around already; no need to add more.

My quilt about women’s reproductive rights has been banned from all American Quilters Society shows this year. It’s been part of a traveling show with SAQA. My artist statement is too long for here. It’s on my website: laurashaw.net/quilts#/your-mother

Made a little sample blanket today. Crossed double crochets, with colours inspired by one of my daughter’s dresses.

She’s already claimed it for one of her smaller toys (apparently they all need blankets)

Ferris is having another flare up of conjunctivitis, something we’ll have to deal with for the rest of his life thanks to feline herpesvirus.

On the plus side, the ophthalmologist called him handsome and said he looks about seven, when in fact he’s twelve and a half.

Big Garden Birdwatch complete. We saw pairs of blackbirds, magpies, sparrows, great tits, long-tailed tits, robins, starlings and wood pigeons and a solitary chonky bullfinch 🐦‍⬛

Spending tonight organising some happy crochet squares 🧶

What is life?

Ferris finally found himself a friend ❤️
