As a grumpy 62 year old bloke I didnt expect to be reduced to a gibbering mess by the events in Mrs. Endicott's Splendid Adventure by @authorrhysbowen.bsky.social A brilliant book thank you for releasing it.

Skegness, one of your absolute finest people right here. Buy her a drink whenever you see her.

A list of questions from Palestinian children in Gaza, compiled by the staff of the Palestine Trauma Centre in Gaza:

MT is proposing to raise the wolf hunting quota to 500 for the '25–'26 season- up from 334. Hunters could kill up to 30 wolves each. These proposals are unethical, unscientific, and glorify killing for sport. There’s no reason to kill one wolf, let alone 500. 📣Take action: fwp.mt.gov/aboutfwp/com...

We need as many people as possible to tell the government to put nature first. Please respond to the consultation by heading to our friends The Wildlife Trusts: www.wildlifetrusts.org/get-involved...

Was thinking after reading @robinince.bsky.social book "NORMALLY WEIRD and WEIRDLY NORMAL", about a description I once used to a therapist about the antidepressants I was on - that I was in a deep hole, and the antidepressants were like someone throwing down a duvet and a favourite book. Whereas...

This is the way to stand up to these bullies! Respect ✊

My daughter has a thing called "Insta" for her art works and stuff. She made a quick video of blending. Its rather cool, and I want to see the final result. www.instagram.com/reel/DKrA3cq...

I think @robinince.bsky.social might appreciate this ...

I’m one of those dodgy immigrants who came here on a spouse visa and got indefinite leave to remain after 12 months. The incalculable harm I have done to the UK includes dedicating my life to public service, educating thousands of British young people, and paying more tax than I’ll ever get back.

Disgusting. Jingoistic back patting over winning a war they didn't fight against the fascism they're now embracing. VE celebrating one week, betraying the legacy the next.

Betrayal of the central tenets of the Labour Party, again. #taxthecorporationsyoubastard www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Well 34 pages into @robinince.bsky.social new book "Normally Weird and Weirdly Normal", and I need to take a pause to collect myself and have a little cry.

Thank you @robinince.bsky.social for my book, and for taking the time to inscribe it beautifully. Twigs definitely appreciates it.

An amazing piece of Roman military history! The only complete surviving Roman scutum (shield) used by legionaries. Wood, leather, bronze edge binding. AD 200s. From the garrison at Dura-Europos on Rome’s eastern frontier which fell to the Sasanians in AD 256. 📷 me #RomanFortThursday #Archaeology

The Stranger Times by C K McDonnell #JodiTaylorBooks #BookRecommendations www.joditaylorbooks....

Very excited to announce that the fifth Stranger Times book is now up for preorder. It's the Christmas book the world needs - by which I mean it starts with a triple murder and gets even more festive from there. Ho Ho homicide! thestrangertimes.co.uk/ring-the-bells/

I‘ll share this set of forest images from the archives, which remind me… that I should use my tilt-shift lens to create panoramic images more often …

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

He’s back . And he’s doing exactly what he said he would . Executive orders to expand drilling in the Alaskan wilderness , the guise of a ‘National Energy Emergency’ to slash red tape and regulation for fossil fuel companies , and the withdrawal from the Paris Climate Agreement .

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public. He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit. Make sure everyone sees this cartoon.
