- Reposted by Emily GossI haven't shared any #embroidery for a while, because I was busy creating some for my wedding! Each hoop is a table name, and each is based on a holiday and an animal we saw (and photographed) on that holiday. The majority are, of course, #butterflies or #moths.

- Reposted by Emily GossIf you’re struggling right now, please know you’re not alone. Many of us are isolated due to chronic illness, disability and/or the general messiness of the world. But we’re not alone. There’s someone somewhere struggling with the same loneliness, and I like to think we’re all separately together

- Reposted by Emily GossThere's more here from (the ever excellent) @johnpring.bsky.social www.disabilitynewsservice.com/second-wave-... A2W has been a nightmare to access recently and the backlogs are awful. It's sad, because, for a while there, it was pretty good. What will happen to those unable to work without A2W?
- Reposted by Emily GossThis is devastatingly awful - for Jess, personally, and for everyone pushed into a similar situation. Access to Work is vital funding and to cut it in this manner, without explanation, is just beyond words. Especially amid all the trumpeting around forcing disabled people back into employment.
