Social media reforms for children and young people in the UK are doomed. A curfew? Give us a break, nanny state…do it right by taking on the companies, or don’t do it at all. ✅ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Post hoc ergo propter hoc. This @theguardian.com article is the first we’ve seen in a wee while. There’s nothing wrong with a larger vehicle that is more comfortable and runs on emissions that over time reduce to Net Zero. Beep. Beep. 🚘

Can you really make a rocket out of a matchstick? 🚀🔥🧪 In this experiment, @alexdainis.bsky.social demonstrates propulsion science by turning a tiny foil-wrapped match head into a miniature rocket. #Science #Physics #STEM #WomenInStem

Shana Bushyhead Condill recounts the Trail of Tears, the brutal forced removal of Indigenous peoples whose survival remains a testament to Native resilience that endures today. #WeAreAmerica250

I don’t do threads. I’m here for the whole sweater

Tell that to the Forest Park Sorting Office, would you please? 🤦‍♀️ My ballot has been stuck there all week…

Love this song! 🎶

Me: looking up hashtags for the USA vs Turkey #WorldCup game like it’s 2012 Twitter. 🤦‍♀️ Sometimes I feel like I need an actual Magic 8 Ball these days to make sense of #Bluesky and what we are all actually doing here. #WorldCup2026 #TurkeyvsUSA #USAvsTurkey

I voted absentee today in the #Michigan 7th & I was today years old when I found out the shady circumstances under which Rick Soucy became interim Genoa Township Clerk. 🤦‍♀️ I used Ballotpedia and did a bunch of research in the local media…wow, the drama! My tracked ballot is on its way… ✈️ #IVoted

Representing the USA in Scotland. #WorldCup #Boston #Glasgow #Florida

CityLink posted this fantastic photo of the WANDERLUST Dog in prime position in Glasgow (outside Buchanan Bus Station!) for the Maggie’s Scotties in the City trail in #Glasgow… Sculpted by our family friend, Charlotte Brayley Artist.

Applications for the NUJ's George Viner Memorial Fund are now open. The Fund aims to improve diversity in the British and Irish media by providing bursaries to Black and minority ethnic student journalists. The deadline is 31 July: www.nuj.org.uk/resource/geo...

I just finished “The Rose Field” by Philip Pullman and I am so angry at the AWFUL ending that I’m considering writing him a letter to ask that he release all the 8-15 alternative endings he wrote as a “Choose Your Own Adventure” throwback. Irritated as all get out, man. #writer #writing

Freaking up to 4am local watching the World Cup.

Watching the USA vs Paraguay Opener of the World Cup at 2am in Scotland. Nae chance of getting a £1,000 fine for noise, regardless of how loud I was singing the National Anthem… 🇺🇸

Why is Detroit doing the Hokey Pokey with the Gordie Howe Bridge? #Michigan #PureMichigan

World Cup Memes for Scotland…anyone? #FIFAWorldCup #WorldCup2026 #Scotland

Fun family day oot at Landemer Day in #Rutherglen! Our daughter had fun completing the #Rutherglen900 Scavenger Hunt, and she met our local MP @michaelshanksmp.co.uk. It even (miraculously) stayed dry! ☔️🎉

⚛️🎢👩🏻‍🔬

The first ever post about President Trump stripping that everyone in the world should see…

“For all the polish Google put on its AI features at I/O, one thing conspicuously absent from the keynote was any serious reckoning with accuracy.” I ask SMEs all the time: why are you investing in a new website right now? (It needs to be a NEED - landscape is too uncertain otherwise.) #SEO #ai

Atrocity cannot be reformed.

We joined folks in Hartland today for a unified message of thanks for all who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We owe them a nation serious enough to understand the true cost of sending Americans into harm’s way.

Why, oh why, is Lee Jeans ALWAYS out of the color I want? I order like, once per year. I buy bootcut jeans in 2 colors: darkest blue & black. I live in my Lee Jeans…paired with a Gap shirt, it’s practically my uniform for life. Yet I can never actually buy what I want when I want. 🤦‍♀️ #ecommerce

Solid gold reporting about Shotts, Scotland from the BBC today. Hook, line and sinker! 😂

Anyone else in #Scotland watching #Eurovision? 🫶

Our MP @michaelshanksmp.co.uk took time to write to our daughter & her classmate about their fundraising efforts in climbing Tinto Hill at 10-years-old. I’ve put it into her portfolio for when she graduates from high school. That’s exactly the kind of leadership I like to see in politicians.

Glasgow City Council fixed the bent pole at Glasgow Green after like a decade. Wow!

Frankly, I am sickened by the results right across the UK in local elections. Racism and Xenophobia have no place in our world. I am, however, quietly grateful that the BBC subeditors let this *gasp* typo through. 🤦‍♀️

We had our first bonfire of the year at the weekend there. Spending quality time together, laughter - sooooo much fun! 🔥

As a Cali transplant invading Michigan, I am forced to support.

I voted absentee today in the 2026 Scottish Parliament election. #IVoted #Rutherglen #Scotland

Woke up early and frankly, feeling horrified at all the news I’m reading on this Sunday morning. Stay safe out there, folks. 🫶

You know what I’d love to see??? A reality show where millionaire CEOs are required to live off their lowest paid employees salary for 1 month.

"I love being a DoorDash Grandma. I love Donald Trump, I bring him McDonald's. I use my own car. I never want to retire. I'm glad Donald Trump is making sure Grandmas like me will have to DoorDash forever. I'm DoorDash Grandma!" - DoorDash Grandma

Being the Admin of a Facebook Group is not for the weak. 🤦‍♀️😵‍💫😂

Some people have all the luck

Trying to find a local printer of PVC signs in Lanarkshire is like a needle in a haystack. Not because the websites don’t exist…it’s because AI is trying to misdirect me to national chains and to businesses trying to “look” like they’re local to me. My inner marketer is sighing REALLY loudly…

Librarians need to decide what books to offer in their libraries; not the government or a few individuals. "Books are for use." (Ranganathan's 1st law of library science) #BookSky #BookBans

I don't usually brag about my pricey, exorbitant trips but i just got back from the gas station.

The most common spelling is ‘April Fools’ Day,’ since there are more than one. Honestly.

Just being on Bluesky makes me feel like more people read books than I ever thought possible, so thanks for making a librarian happy. #BookSky

Reading all the replies really set the tone for my day. It’s kind of like reading a book about black holes…really draws you in! 🤦‍♀️

🚨 THIS JUST IN: With over 100 protests still to come, we can already estimate that at least 8 million people participated in No Kings protests today. That makes No Kings 3 the largest single day of protest in American history. #NoKings

Catching up on #NoKings protest pics around the world. Wow! 🙌 As an American living abroad, there was a demo in London, and I didn’t travel to it - I took my daughter and her friends to a K-Pop Demon Hunters concert in Lanark which has been long-planned, and was her Christmas gift.

What could we do with the $12B Trump spent on the first week of war with Iran? - Housing help for ~1 million Americans - Lower prescription drug costs - Fund national parks for 3+ years - Give Pell grants to 1.6 million students - Pay the salaries of 100,000+ teachers and nurses

The juxtaposition today's two marches today is striking. The London march promoting unity over division. The Edinburgh march promoting division over unity. Sorry I didn't make the former.

🗓️ Mark your calendars, break out the sharpies, and text your friends. 𝗡𝗼 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝟯.𝟬 is coming! 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟴. Find an event near you: www.nokings.org/ Let’s make this the biggest one yet. No Kings. No illegal wars. No ICE. 🚫 👑
