I wrote this open letter to my fellow science journalists, but it could very easily be adapted to address @jay.bsky.team and the rest of the bsky team galileospendulum.org/2025/06/05/o...

To my science journalist colleagues at the New York Times, Washington Post, The Atlantic, The Guardian, and elsewhere: I write this open letter on the day the New York Times begins a podcast series…

Heads up, I'm coming out of retirement for my first market in probably ten years. Come see!

My crochet hooks will be sharing a stall with @studioknotunknot.bsky.social

It's that time of year again, so I ordered a couple of turnips for carving tumshies, and this is what I got... (Homegrown apple for comparison) I s'pose, challenge accepted, @sainsburys.bsky.social ! (Though tbh, I'm not entirely sure how to make a hole big enough to stick a candle in these. 🤔)

I'll be chairing this event in a couple of weeks! Very exciting.

I've always loved the Radical Book Fair, and it's great to see a #WeirdPride event I didn't organise myself! 😁

Just digging into the books now. Not sure why or how I didn't come across @cjdebarra.bsky.social's book sooner!

#FolktaleWeek2025, you say? Sure, I'll play!

I interrupted the incessant crochet hook carving to finally make a decent sized spoon that's short enough to go in my salt cellar.

I went on a rampage in my garden recently, which provided an opportunity for carving some fuchsia wood for the first time. Very silky stuff!

It's been a bit of a sticker-heavy week, and I'm told I'm going too hard on the autumn theme, but I wouldn't want you to think I'm not prepared.

And now there are two sticker sheets. Look, there's even an early bird tumshie! 😆🌰🍁🍂🍄🍎

Don't worry, I won't mention the dreaded C-word yet, but for those whose minds have turned to cozy autumn crafting, I've updated the selection of hand-carved crochet hooks in my folksy shop.
