Some of the new stickers I have with me for a market today! I'm with with The Market today in The Pump Rooms, Leamington Spa. 🍂

Some people get angry when you mention Christmas before December, but some of us like to plan well ahead. So here are my Christmas cards! 🎄

Inspired by retro glass decorations and riso printed for that lush, dotty texture. I had lots of fun drawing these. Find them in my Etsy. 💌
Three colourful riso printed Christmas cards are displayed on a vibrant background of red, pink, green, and purple paper. Each card features a retro style ornament illustration in bright, bold colours like blue, pink, orange, and purple. The cards are designed like postage stamps, with scalloped edges. Red envelopes accompany each card, and festive and stationery elements such as red ribbon, a pencil, and glittery gold decorations are scattered around, enhancing the Christmas theme.

I've just spent half a day making this drawing. It was an intense experience - I was drawing from observation outside - and my body hurts now.

I did a big, scary thing and took part in the Summer Makers Market @fargovillage.bsky.social in Coventry! It was great to be back at it, and I got a real buzz from chatting to everyone who came to visit. Can't wait to do more. 💌

A smiling woman with long light brown hair and clear-framed glasses sits at a market stall filled with colourful illustrated prints and greeting cards. She's wearing a light grey sweatshirt featuring a large graphic of a cat. In front of her are neatly displayed prints, including bright floral and postage stamp inspired designs in pastel colours. Behind her, other vendors and visitors are visible in a warmly lit indoor venue with wooden walls and playful paper decorations hanging from the ceiling. The atmosphere is cheerful and creative.

More than ever, trans people need our support. As rights are rolled back and rhetoric hardens, its so important to stand in solidarity. So, obviously, I made a sticker.

A pile of the same sticker. It features some flowers that symbolise queer identities, pansies at the bottom, lavander in the middle and carnations and roses at the top. The top flowers are broken by white text that reads TRANS SOLIDARITY. The background is also white.

On the way home from the hospital today, drove past a brand new giant UFF flag flying, unaccosted from a lampost in east Belfast.

The UFF are a proscribed organisation because they are actual terrorists.

Flags all over NI. They get put up in broad daylight. Nobody gets arrested. Or even warned

He didn’t say that.

He chanted “Death to the IDF”.

If he’d have changed “Death to the Russian Army”, the Daily Mail wouldn’t have splashed on it, or demanded his arrest.

This rag shows infinitely more rage over a chant than the IDF incinerating thousands of little children.

Of course this won’t make the mainstream news in Britain which is an insular vortex of transphobia.

interesting to see how much more coverage here we're getting of a chant at a music festival than the IDF being ordered to shoot and murder people in Gaza who are seeking aid!

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza.

Truly an atrocity built on atrocity.

I've made a Trans Solidarity riso print. You can get it in A6, A4 and A3. Some money from each print will be donated to Mermaids.

www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4...
A riso print laying flat on pink and yellow paper. The print features some flowers that symbolise queer identities, pansies at the bottom, lavander in the middle and carnations and roses at the top. The top flowers are broken by white text that reads TRANS SOLIDARITY. The print background is also white.

We need your help We are a small grassroots pride with a strong commitment to our ethics, but this means we are unable to approach many of the mainstream sources in order to raise funds to host our events. We also believe that money shouldn’t be a stumbling block for those who wish to attend pride events and so we always strive to keep our events free entry where possible. With all that in mind we need your help, Can you spare a few ££ to help us run causeway pride this year? please donate/share if you can

You might ask how the British can square their multi-week pant-pooping meltdown over Kneecap with their funding these armed terrorist groups who import and sell drugs, run extortion rackets and issue death threats to journalists and non unionist politicians, and who even terrorise schools. #Kneecap

Reminder that there are actual armed & active, white 'homegrown' loyalist proscribed terror groups w/ 12,500 members freely operating in N. Ireland. They are so embedded by UK Gov that they receive state funding, high level Government access and effective immunity from investigation & prosecution.

If Palestine Action becomes a proscribed group, writing these words of support could become a serious offence. It’s vital we fight this alarming attack on free speech, says writer Sally Rooney

This is what Westminster and Stormont were warned about by numerous trans activists across the UK and NI.

Trans Healthcare works and this 'proves it', despite the proof we've had access to for decades. What is it going to take for legislators to repeal the ban?
