My latest #knitting project is finished! We ventured out of the house to Victoria Park to take a photo. The pattern is Sugar Maple and I knitted it from a single skein of Hobbii Twister. It’s a top-down raglan tee with an asymmetrical chevron front that really highlights the colour gradient! More details on Ravelry: https://ravel.me/webgoddess/sm @fiberarts
webgoddess' Sugar Maple

Knitted in about a month. No modifications other than knitting a slightly smaller size knowing that my gauge was slightly looser.

Solidarity to the 1 million+ people working today.

They’ll most be those pesky NHS nurses, carers etc. You know, the folk the papers & politicians accused of “stealing Christmas”.

Meta has been fined €265 million by Ireland's data regulator after 500 million people's Facebook data was found for sale online. That brings fines from European regulators against Meta to around €1 billion

@mattburgess And they are so profitable that they can just shrug a mere billion off like it was nothing.
For 2 years many of us have fought against medical disinformation regarding covid on the bird site. As expected it will be a free for all again. To be clear, misinformation kills, & covid vaccines are safe and effective.

It was in an email today from the European movement and I thought it important to get the message out.

I attach screenshots.

But he made similar points recently in a speech to a Liverpool audience here.

Lord Heseltine delivers landmark speech on Brexit

"I do not accept that Brexit is irreversible. The timescale may be unpredictable. The purpose is not."

@Fascinatorfun Most importantly, Rejoiners must push back the neverending lies and misinformation about the EU, and at the same time be very open and transparent of the terms and conditions any UKG would have to accept for every single closer tie. Labour is deeply dishonest or delusional or both by suggesting a difference in tone but not substance would get them better terms than Johnson's TCA.
