Because I’m a librarian I’m going to take the question of “what do I read if not Harry Potter” seriously. I used to love HP, so I do get the urge to want to revisit a beloved world. BUT supporting said world means supporting someone who uses the money they make from it to harm people, so instead try

This is a lovely idea, you sign up to finish pieces in your specific craft, knitting , sewing etc, and you receive a piece that someone couldn’t finish, either they died or became too sick, so their loved ones have their final piece. I just volunteered my services. looseends.org/finisher

What a unique way to create artworks. Sydney Swisher is a self-taught painter who uses oil paint on thrifted fabrics, transforming them into layered, textured compositions. She paints on patterned textiles, and also stitch motifs and elements on the fabric thereafter. Artist: @sydswisher #art

Anyone craving more folklore and folk horror in their bluesky lives might like the starter pack I made. I'm always adding to it, especially trying to include artists, musicians, performers, morris dancers, mummers, etc. Let me know if I'm missing anyone :) go.bsky.app/LXSZqSM

The annual reminder from knitters everywhere. #blueskyknits #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #sockknitting
A note that reads: 

On Christmas morning ...

A pair of hand knit socks contains about 35,000 stitches. That's 35,000 times someone did something while thinking about you.

So, if you get hand knit socks this Christmas, remember someone loves you a great deal.

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com
A comic strip in six panels. The panels inerlock like a jigsaw with knobs and sockets. Two stick figures walk right to left through all the panels.

Panel 1: Person 1 says "I hear you're working on a new theory."
Panel 2 & 3: Person 2 says: "Yes, I'm calling it the jigsaw model. I think it could change our whole View of reality."
Panel 4: Person 1 says "When Will you publish?:
Panel 5: Person 2 says "But a couple of things are still bothering me." (this piece/panel is a bit squint) 
Panel 6: This piece is rotated ninety degees and fits to the others very badly. Person 2 is saying "Soon. I feel like I'm really close"
A second look at the whole comic shows that the last two panels read in the wrong order because the jigsaw has been put together incorrectly.
