Does anyone else read these as hostage messages?

I've never been a member of a political party in my life. That has just changed 🙂

In breaking news, I have just discovered the beat biscuits ever, in my local Polish shop 😋😋😋

A quite remarkable little book, which I would wholeheartedly recommend hunting out. Thanks to @neglectedbooks.com, who recommended this one quite a while ago. I finally got round to reading it and thoroughly enjoyed it! #booksky

This juxtaposition in my IG feed just *has* to be deliberate.

Apart from the message (which is of course absolutely spot on), it's worth taking a moment to reflect on her eloquence and coherence versus the rancid imbecile currently infesting the WH, who for the life of him can't even form a sentence, let alone string two together.

It's the most wonderful time of the year 😁 Brittlegills, Birch Boletes and Penny Buns (and a few apples!) 😋😋 #Autumn #Mushrooms

Interesting idea, Tesco, but I think I'll just stick to salad cream, thanks.

Best cartoon of the year in my Far Side calendar 😂😂😂

First Penny Bun of the season! 😁

How exciting!! A new book from my favourite writer, The Killer Question by @janicehallett.bsky.social 😁😁. I can't wait to dive in, but I'm just going to let the anticipation build for a while 🙂 #booksky

Question for anyone who has read both Gravity's Rainbow and 2666. Is 2666 a harder or easier read than GR? #booksky

Looks like it's going to be a bit nippy today.

If you see this post an Archer

Fuck, he's still alive.

Great to see @theceltichouse.bsky.social here. One of my favourite bookshops and a frequent haunt of mine when I'm on Islay. Fabulous cakes too! 🤤

I got round to watching Thursday Murder Club on Netflix last night. I've loved all the books, and all I can say is, I'm so glad I read the book before watching the film. They haven't done it any justice at all. It was watered down, silly, awkwardly played for laughs, and terribly miscast. Very sad.

Another day, another glorious sunset 😍

Ardbeg distillery, Islay. Drone shot.

Last night's sunset. Absolutely typical of this beautiful place.

@noreplica.off.camera for some reason I've only just seen that you're back! But I'm very glad to see you in my feed again 😁

Weather isn't great today, so off to Aberdeen. Book-buying will occur. #booksky

@thesortedstories.bsky.social thank you for liking my photo! And it's nice to see you again, haven't seen you around here for ages! 😁

Home for the next week 😍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Farewell Port Ellen, farewell Islay. I have never wanted to leave a place less than I want to leave you this morning. "The Queen of the Hebrides" is a name never more richly deserved for this idyllic island than it is this morning. I am already counting the days until my return. ❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Idyllic Islay. Carraig Fhada lighthouse with Port Ellen beyond.

An idyllic day on Islay. Not sure whethernto read or look at this view. Fortunately, I have all day to do both 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Just crossed the border into Scotland, so my mood has instantly improved by 76% (I've done the maths). 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Well that seems to have come out rather nicely. Perfect for homemade jam (plum, and cherry) later 😋😋

What wonderful news to start the day with. @noreenmasud.bsky.social thank you for the update. I'm thrilled for A and very much hope she takes your sound advice! www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/qr/qW8aQ54...
