The Listed Places of Worship Grant Scheme enable VAT on repairs to be reclaimed. The scheme was in place since 2001. It was UK-wide, easy to apply for, and scrupulously fair: Westminster Abbey and a tiny church on Anglesey were on a level footing when it came to this scheme.

Okay these soaps are AMAZING.

If anyone has Umamusume 3D-printed heads that are the right size for Space Marines then my DMs are open.

Yeah legit my plan for the #nerdlings comp. If someone out there can 3d print me a Haru Uhara head at space marine scale... Then you lot are getting the pinkest, happiest little Space Umarine ever. No idea on how to get that head done though.

A #lego build for #caturday =)

10 years ago today, this titan of broadcasting left us. A man who frequently left me in uncontrollable tears of laughter in a layby around 8:15am most mornings whenever the words 'Janet' or 'John' were spoken.

"The idea that trans inclusion at the ponds is somehow imposed against the wishes of users simply does not survive contact with reality. Londoners have looked at the evidence... and overwhelmingly said: this works, this is fair, and this reflects our values." celord.com/2026/01/29/h...

The history books covering this period of American history are going to be FASCINATING.

If you want some beatifully painted Necromunda gangs this is a great opportunity at a great price.

I made a vid! Heated Rivalry, what a surprise. archiveofourown.org/works/77973076

I think it's pretty clear that like in the US, UK democracy is under a sustained assault, with unlikely spearheads such as the odious Toby Young, a creature nurtured to prominence by the BBC and Theresa May.

@garius.bsky.social you must have space for another Kill Team, surely?

It's easy to miss the significance just how big the collapse in the Labour vote is here. Labour was born in the Welsh valleys, and even when an economically similar area of England - the North East - and the Valleys both voted for Brexit, the "red wall" in Wales continued to vote Labour.

I will reiterate that if you are an independent journo/hobbyist I will happily set up your ghost install and host it for a few quid above cost price. You set up your own stripe and mailgun accounts, and you get to keep ALL your revenue. And post migration from wordpress/substack is pretty easy.

Nice to have something positive to look forward to.

I saw this post circulating yesterday, and there's no way I could choose just one music video, even though I don't listen to that much music. So here are some music videos I've watched a lot: 1. Goodbye Earl (The Dixie Chicks) www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gw7g...

What was the last movie or TV show you watched in 2025?

I was away from home and didn't manage to post Z for day 26 of the #MusicAdvent. Now I'm home and have a chance to check... I don't have any songs saved bands starting with Z. So I'm cheating, and giving you Beausoleil, the band that introduced me to zydeco music. www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSTH...

I work in a quirky antique shop in a small US town in exchange for cheap rent and a magic sheet and duvet set.

I've started my day with a brush walk in bracing weather, followed by a thorough inspection by a new ticket inspector at the railway station.

Today's #MusicAdvent pick was a bit difficult, but for the letter Y I'm going with the Youngbloods and "Get Together": m.youtube.com/watch?v=7xGx...

day 2/30 of me randomly doing an art challenge: frog i sent about 8 hours today trying to understand anatomy of frogs and why are they literally so silly 😂 this isn’t my best but it’s almost the end of the day and i’m tired.

I'm a bit short on Babs and artists starting with X, so for day 24 of #MusicAdvent you'll have to live with another big gate band from the eighties - Don't Say No, by XYZ. youtu.be/94nq9g8Idmk?...

I didn't have time edit this earlier, but behind the last door of my #Lego Friends Advent Calendar is a sign that deliveries have commenced...

In my day, he'd have got a mince pie under the tree and a glass of sherry, if he was lucky.

Day 23, and something exciting must be on the way, because my #Lego Friends Advent Calendar has started spawning presents...

For Day 23 of #MusicAdvent I'm going with Whitesnake for "W" - and a song that also starts with W, Walking in the Shadow of the Blues: www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTya...

Day 22 of #MusicAdvent and I was torn about what to post. I was going to go with something by Vixen, because you can never go wrong with 80s big hair rock bands, but I was poking my music library and decided to go with a weird, experimental Steve Vai track instead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AVX...

Day 22, and either my #Lego Friends Advent Calendar has given me a tiny prop table for dressing up, or it's anticipating some quick costume changes backstage at the Muppet Show tonight...

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who's coming to save you? I think I have a fair chance of either being rescued or getting my death mentioned in a Nikki Heat Novel.

Day 21, and we must be getting close to some kind of event because my #Lego Friends Advent Calendar has produced a tree! And it turns out my eyes weren't great at working out what this model was from the picture on the inside of the door at 6am this morning... but at least there's a cookie.

It's Day 21 of #MusicAdvent and one of my streaming services keeps telling me I'd like to watch Hackers, so for U I give you "Good Grief" by the Urban Dance Squad. Hack the planet! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFrA...

Day 20, and everyone say hi to the latest new arrival from my #Lego Friends Advent Calendar - it's Pickle!

Day 20 of #MusicAdvent and it's a song I'd spent almost 20 years waiting to vid before suddenly discovering it'd been used recently in a DC tv series. Love Bomb Baby, by Tigertailz www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU-p...

Your last saved meme is your moral philosophy.

Day 19, and my #Lego Friends Advent Calendar has produced something I don't quite understand, but is something to do with phones. I'm guessing it's some kind of... karaoke set-up? (I mostly use my phone to read ebooks, take photos and avoid calls).

Day 19 of #MusicAdvent, and I'm going with "Try Everything" by Shakira. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MWeQ...

I ran out of time to post yesterday because work and life ran away with me (and neither were happy about it) but Day 18 of my #Lego Friends Advent Calendar brought me Nova and a bed. There must be a party in the offing...

HEY AUTHORS: It's the last weekend before Christmas and/or the end of Hanukkah, so people are going to be looking for last minute holiday gifts, which books are perfect for, so use this thread to tell everyone here at Bluesky about your book so they can go find it at their local bookseller. GO!

Day 18 of #MusicAdvent, and my song pick for today is a cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman" performed by Rina Sawayama, which I had in my head for possible vid reasons until I discovered I was missing half my source files. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JfxR...
