New instance, new #introduction — hello, I’m Kake, I live in South London, and I like making things.
I make all my own clothes (except for socks), and I make patchworked textiles using my own hand-dyed fabrics. Sometimes I embroider them.
I’m part of the creator team on the Discworld MUD; in other words, I help to build a game that’s set in an immersive world made entirely out of words, and I do this with a mix of creative writing, bad puns, programming, bugfixing, and esoteric knowledge of a 30-year-old codebase. http://discworld.starturtle.net/
I’m good at cooking, but I’m mainly interested in simplifying it so it doesn’t take time away from the other things I want to do. I like to develop fast-to-prepare recipes with vegetables and pulses and wholegrains. I’m an omnivore, and I generally prefer fish to meat.
I spent several years writing an ongoing local history of the land and buildings along a road near my house, but I put this on pause after the pandemic started, when I ran out of the material I’d already researched. One day I might pick it up again. https://london-road-croydon.org/history/
Also, in no particular order, and not limited to: trans people are valid, immigrants make societies better, it’s OK to be fat, the Fediverse has a racism problem, women are not second-class citizens, Israel’s genocidal behaviour is an outrage, disabled people have value.
discworld.starturtle.netDiscworld MudDiscworld MUD is a multiplayer, text-based online game based on the Discworld books as written by Terry Pratchett. On Discworld you will meet many of the characters from those books. Terry's books are humorous fantasy and the game retains the comical, fun feel of the books.
Well that's a new one on me. I've heard about poorly-written censorship algorithms blanking out people who live in Penistone, or Clitheroe. But now a suburb of Croydon called Coulsdon has been wiped off the face of the planet, or at least wiped off of Facebook.

How many weeks of being TERRORISED by these Far Right criminals are we going to have to put up with?
Decent people shouldn't have to put up with it, there are far more of us than there are of them.

I don't ever remember Just Stop Oil terrifying people into house arrest, do you?
But don't call these White Boys 'terrorists.' Remember only Irish people can be White AND Terrorist in the United Kingdom, that's how the game is played here.

Risham and I spent #Eid day campaiging for #TheGreens in #Croydon.
When they are the only party to refuse corporate funding, have always been on point for Gaza, and keep #ClimateChange front and centre, you know they are worth your Eid.

A former bar owner in #Croydon , South #London claims the fear of crime has put people off visiting to #bars and #nightclubs (I'm originally from South London myself and I think she is correct, the whole region was already becoming a sketchy area in the early 1990s - you had to watch your back, particularly at night and be very wary of anyone else around)

And the last one for today. Again the #fox looked right at me, but didn't see my eyes behind my phone, and just laid straight back down to sleep.
... until...
The neighbour cat came. Look at those ears. Those ears were flat the entire time the cat was in the garden, and the cat was either oblivious or has decided this fox isn't going to be trouble, because she wandered around for a bit and then left.
Now off to pick up the pillows that have been strewn all over
Just so that I am not accused of rehashing stuff from the bird site, here is something new…
From around 1992, some extracts from an official guide to the London Borough of Croydon. With planned new office and retail developments and imminent tramway, some of that 1960s optimism briefly returned to the town in the 1990s.
The guide was published by the British Publishing Company Limited on behalf of the London Borough of Croydon.
