#InProgress is the perfect prompt for me for #PrintPromptMonday - so many projects started and so many left to finish! Here's a block that I carved up yonks ago. The vase is based on the famous trousers designed by Kansai Yamamoto for #DavidBowie. 📸 by Masayoshi Sukita
A carved up lino block sat on a pink board. The lino block shows a house plant in a vase. The vase is based on a famous pair of David Bowie trousers, which were designed by Kansai Yamamoto.

Oh gosh loved this piece by @caitjgibson.bsky.social in the @washingtonpost.com So true that it's discombobulating being one of the first in your group to become a Mum. But can't wait to be a support system for others as they joined the No Sleep Club♥️ www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/20...

The UK has the worst paternity leave in Europe - and self-employed dads don't even qualify! The Dad Shift are trying to change that. Sign their petition, which calls on UK government to give self-employed dads paternity leave, here 👇 action.dadshift.org.uk/a/self-emplo... @dadshiftuk.bsky.social

As a former member of Mind's PR team, I felt very proud seeing the charity leave X yesterday. The move has received criticism from some, but to me it just shows that the charity has real integrity. Well done @mindcharity.bsky.social! And welcome ☺️

Earnest post, but: a thing I like here is it’s okay to have moments of happiness in public without being broadly scolded, and I believe that sustaining this kind of humanity will be very important as we resist fascism. We have to sustain each other. Making joy isn’t denial, it’s how we will survive

Can't recommend this ep highly enough. Such an important issue that @kimleadbeatermp.bsky.social speaks so eloquently on. Hope MPs vote to give people greater dignity in their final weeks and months this Friday.

The amount of positivity on this post is SO refreshing. @bsky.app has been accused of being an 'echo chamber' - but if it's just niceness echoing about the place I'm all for it!

Very much enjoy Bluesky being described as having both "theater kid energy" and "millennial roommate board game night energy"🫶 www.independent.co.uk/tech/elon-mu...

People are fleeing Elon Musk’s X in droves. What’s happening on Threads and Bluesky?
The social network formerly known as Twitter is rapidly bleeding users. But if you’re among them, will you feel more at home on Bluesky, Threads, or Mastodon?
