Category Is Books had their windows smashed again. Donate to support them if you can www.gofundme.com/f/categoryis... #categoryisbooks #glasgow #queerbookshops

Four panel comic.
Panel 1. Image - a cartoon dog like character wearing a striped jumoer and blue trousers reads a purple book beneath a book opened like a pup tent. There is a flag that reads Category Is Books. There are five stickers: hope will never be silent, trans liberation nkw, queer queer queer books, fiercly independent and Daniel Quasar's Progress Pride Flag
Text - There is a steady rise in violence...
Panel 2. Image - the character stands looking forlornly at the book tent flattened on the ground, the stickers torn, the flag crumpled.
Text - against LGBTQ+ folk and their spaces. When it happens...
Panel 3. Image - a group of cartoon creatures help to put the book tent back up. One sits atop the spine of it holding the 'Category Is Books' flag aloft. Speech bubbles read "stronger!" "Queerer than ever!" "More Book!"
Text - our community rallies. And when it happens...
Panel 4. The book tent it restored. The cartokn creatures sit on top and inside it, reading and having lively conversations. The flag Category Is Books flies proudly again.
Text - i wish we didn't have to. I wish we were already safe.

As someone prone to weirdass dreams and permanently scarred from reading The Fortean Times in the olden days, this was an utterly creepy delight to read.

I've had this green possum yarn in my stash for nearly twenty years, and have started many projects with it, but never quite finished anything... This time round, I'm trying a brioche jumper. So, what do we think, is this one gonna stick? Place your bets! 🧶 #knitting #briocheknitting #wip #yarn

Exhibition teaser! This is the prototype of a piece for my solo show at Coburg House, Edinburgh at the beginning of October. www.coburghouse.co.uk/exhibitions/... I'm working on a larger version with orange instead of grey for the show. #knittedunconformities #mathematicalknitting

Photo of a mannequin body in the corridor outside my studio. The mannequin is wearing a knitted pullover constructed from large cream and grey, right-angled triangles.

There are some plants on tables in the background one of which has spikey leaves sticking out around the mannequin's left shoulder.

It is important to keep this in circulation

Insult Deflection or Insult Reflection is a single-panel cartoon illustrating the effects one's insults or other forms of verbal attacks directed at a disliked person can inadvertently have on their mutuals, depicting a stick figure shooting at another, who then deflects it into a third person. Spawned by a viral Tumblr post about bodyshaming, the cartoon has been used as an exploitable meme since June 2022.

So the bad news is that I lost one of my brand new earrings somewhere. However, you can cheer yourself up by looking at this beautiful crochet hook, which was created in a collaboration with the local bugs! 🧶 Now available in my folksy shop! #crochet #yarncrafts #whittling

Foto of a crochet hook sitting on a dark damp surface. It is made from pine and has a pattern of eating tracks made by bugs.

What have I been up to, you ask? Well, I've been drawing mythological creatures from Germany for my zine. #illustration #cryptids #folktales #mythology #germany

Digital illustration of a Bahkauv. This looks like a calf with very large eyes, shaggy fur, bear paws and a long scaly tail that drag on the ground. The Bahkauv is said to jump on the backs of drunk men on their way home from the pub, just to mess with them and make it harder for them to get home. Once they get to their house, it jumps off and goes looking for its next victim.

Digital illustration of a Dilldap, which is a mythological creature said to look like a mix of a polecat, rabbit and deer. They're shy creatures, which survive mostly on stolen potatoes, which they grate with their tongue. They live for over a hundred years and lay eggs.

Digital illustration of an Elwetritsch, which is a mix of a chicken, a duck, a goose and various fae folk. They have useless little wings and an overly long beak. Elwetritsche are a variation of a type of demon that sneaks into people's bedrooms at night to sit on their chests and give them nightmares and sleep paralysis.

Digital illustration of a Wolpertinger and a Rasselbock. Both of these are related to the Dilldap, and also to Jackalopes, and both of them are often depicted as hares with deer antlers, but Wolpertinger also sometimes take the shape of squirrels with duck beaks.

Dear Lord Vallance,

Cuts to funding for astronomy and space science

We are writing to you as physics teachers in secondary schools and sixth form colleges, to express our grave concern at the cuts to funding for astronomy and space science, and particle and nuclear physics, proposed by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC).

As you know, these amount to 30% overall, and project groups have been asked to plan for budget reductions of up to 60%. We urge you to take prompt action to reverse these cuts, the scale of which are without precedent in modern times.
