Childfree | Feathers and Tea
https://feathersandtea.wordpress.com/2014/11/06/childfree
Skip to primary content. Maybe it’s the turn of the seasons, maybe it’s the impending onslaught of family occasions, maybe it’s… something else, but at around this time of year my childfree status often seems to get a little poke. It’s never been a particularly militant status, but it. Frequently been a misunderstood one, as I am approximately the thousandth childfree woman to observe. Or assuming I don’t, or don’t have any interest in hanging out with them. I’ll admit to the aforementioned awkward...

Birthdays | Feathers and Tea
https://feathersandtea.wordpress.com/2015/01/12/birthdays
Skip to primary content. I’ve always had a bit of an odd relationship with my birthday. It’s on 14th February, which isn’t the worst possible birthday date but does have some drawbacks. It’s also a bugger of a day for celebrations when most of your friends are in couples and are therefore quite understandably wanting to be in Couple Mode for the occasion. I might be forgetting one or two, but birthday celebrations of even a modest variety after young childhood aren’t really A Thing. That said, most folk ...

Knitting up the ravelled sleeve of care. P is for Pwani →. August 9, 2015. I haven’t been knitting on the bus to work lately; I’ve gone back to walking half the journey and am finding myself tending to read for the other half, so in nearly two months I’d only managed to knit one of my Dunkerton Sweet. Socks and the cuff and half of the first leg pattern repeat of the second. And then I went to Nine Worlds. 8216;s Missy costume in person, my favourite was the woman who had knitted her own Wonder Woman out...

https://feathersandtea.wordpress.com/2015/04/24/that-for-their-friendship-i-may-make-amends
Skip to primary content. That for their friendship I may make amends. I’ve tilted a few times, on a few different blogs, over the years at the idea of finding your tribe. But it’s never yet been more descriptive of my life than it is now. I’ve been delighted to meet folk I can talk geeky with without encountering the corresponding butyou’reagirl raised eyebrows or apparent inaudibleness that often came from the surroundings in which I worked at the time. You lot are fab.). It’s possible that Mr Bla...

Out | Feathers and Tea
https://feathersandtea.wordpress.com/2015/07/13/out
Skip to primary content. It’s a strange, brittle and highly personal thing, the Out. It’s been a week of discussion of outs and privilege and. Intersectionality. I’ve talked with polyamorous folk who aren’t out to their entire circles, non-heterosexual folk who are out with nearly everybody except their parents, friends who have fought a thousand fights in other ways. Outing other folk – not cool. And then there’s the other side of things. The side which says if you *can* be out…. The conversation meande...
