What this tells us, basically, is that there were a great many poetasters going about selling broadsheets of their poetastery after major events, whereas now they can share their profound thoughts on the First World War, or remember the corned beef of their childhood, for free in local newspapers

Remember, masks aren’t just for Covid! They also help protect against colds, flu, measles, RSV and more. They guard against pollution, wild fire smoke and pollen. A well fitted respirator can keep you healthy while also protecting those around you. It’s radical community care.

This book was my origin story. I can attribute much of my love of landscape and history to receiving this as a present at seven or eight. There was a load of stuff I learned in here first that still fascinates me. The evolution of architectural styles. Prehistoric monuments. Valley formation etc

You all, after YEARS of archival research and writing, my book is out in exactly ONE month and it’s my job to promote it. Please help me spread the word!! 😀📚#booksky

On Christmas help some children who don’t have big piles of presents if you can ❤️

Dementia does not just erase memory — it exposes how institutions treat those who can no longer speak for themselves. I’ve written about my father’s Alzheimer’s and what it revealed about dementia care in the UK. open.substack.com/pub/philipwb...

Who'd've thunk Graun'd cover me favorably? But the US (less-TERF) desk did thanks to @joolia.bsky.social: "[Trump 2.0] demonstrates the weaknesses of Harris’ brand of feminism, even as it precipitated crises in every aspect of life that demand a feminist response" www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...
