👋😔This is a sad goodbye from me & @Craftivists dear Tweeters
💔 With the rise in inappropriate content and decrease in meaningful engagement with followers and the X community, sadly I am leaving. Find me on other platforms & newsletter💌👉 craftivist-collective.com/
🪡🧵📖✨“My work sits at the intersection of fashion, textiles and activism and in Corbett I found a kindred spirit…There is a place for her style of gentle activism across all cultures, all geographies.”

Evidence that I’m not always a workaholic 🐇
I love my work and it’s hard to switch off from thinking about or doing it. Thanks Rose for reminding me that it’s important to step away and play 💓
Finally wore my #DonnieDarko Frank ears out in public. A present I bought for myself last yr. I smile when see them every day on top of my mannequin and I wear them around the flat a lot whilst doing chores because the well crafted item is really comfortable and brings me joy 🙃
📸 No other photos of a lovely night at The Groucho Club with friends around the piano because we were living in the moment, being present with each other and enjoying the power of communal singing and dancing to the vibrations of the music 🥰🎹🍷
🤓 I’ve given guest lectures, seminars and workshops to Otto’s students in @parsonsdesign NYC 🇺🇸 . I love that our campaigns have been case studies in university courses inc textiles courses, art, design, psychology and politics courses & our books are on student reading lists 📚
Here's my message to young people: you wouldn't let a bunch of old people decide what music you're going to listen to or what clothes you're going to wear – so don't let them decide your future.

Filmed for Episode 19 of ‘Our Boarding School‘ on @cbbc and streamed on @BBCiPlayer . The TV series features the everyday lives of Year7 pupils in secondary schools across the UK to help young viewers in their transition into a new school institution which can be scary for many
So, I'm putting this out here. Because we need strong, independent, financially robust news organisations more than ever.
Journalism is the crucial frontline against the techno-populism sweeping the planet. And like it says @ObserverUK & @guardian are reader-funded not billionaire-backed.
So...why sell out to a billionaire?!? Or..whoever is funding the deal. We don’t actually know!!

“One of the great joys of publishing is finding a book that lasts. We still sell hundreds of copies each month – and it shows no signs of slowing down.” ~ @johnmitchinson
✨📖 Just leaving this here as a little #humblebrag 😁 for any sceptics or doubters of our activism impact 🧵🪡
I totally understand that on the surface our #GentleProtest projects can look like a gimmick. But they are based in neuroscience & psychology.
