Anybody in the Stevenage area have available an accessible room or studio flat to rent? My daughter is starting a PhD next week and the flat that we hoped she be in by now looks like it is going to fall through. Thanks

New review - The Bewitching, by @silviamg.bsky.social, is an excellent #spooky read out now from @arcadiabooks.bsky.social to whom thanks for copy to read and review. Witchcraft & family secrets! #BookSky 📚💙 bluebookballoon.blogspot.com/2025/09/revi...

I am begging people to please seek out Autistic voices if you want to learn about autism. You will find that rather than wanting our lives to be prevented or cured, we want appropriate supports for ALL Autistic people (including those with intellectual disability and other co-occurring conditions).

Top #Equinox fact: Today is the day that the Sun rises due East and sets due West. At the December solstice the sun rises in the South East. At the June solstice it rises in the North East. As the days pass between the two, the sunrise position slowly changes passing due East each equinox.👇🤩 🔭🧪

that is definitely a problem for sprinting but I feel one I could easily solve

People say "autism never used to exist" and then you go to the Natural History Museum and the exhibit has a caption like "Born in 1762, The Revd [name] was famously irascible, steadfast in his routine, and dedicated his life to collecting 25,000 rare beetle specimens".

New Review - let’s go down many mean streets in this crime focused collection of short stories that I really enjoyed No One Hears The Last Shot by Lavie Tidhar out now! www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2025/9/...

Ready to preorder the small press short story collection with this cover RIGHT NOW.

Time to talk about one of my favourite Oxford buildings, 26-27-28 Cornmarket!! Popularly known as The Old Pret

The truth: we need migration. The problem: too many politicians are terrified to say it. Why? They're led by a) toxicity of the charlatans & b) wealthy media organisations who demand these useful distractions rather than us talking about inequality. Reject it. Draw the line.

Paracetamol (Tylenol) does not cause autism, and it is a source of great dismay that autism researchers and Autistic advocates still have to spend so much time battling misinformation. Research on causes of autism systematically fails to control for the existence and behaviour of Autistic parents.

Reform's ‘plan’ to revoke the legal status of millions of UK residents is morally abhorrent & economic madness The public believe in fairness & mutual respect, not this cruel Trumpian policy that would leave us all poorer. We are not America - we must resist this dangerous turn in British politics.

NEW REVIEW: Should you start a series at Book number 7? Well, I did as I delve into THE SHATTERING PEACE BY JOHN SCALZI. www.fantasybooknerd.com/2025/09/book...

think that realistically I would have always been deeply, deeply worried about the rise of far-right ideas in public discourse but I truly never expected this level of blithe elite complacency, turns out I do feel worried but mostly I feel like I'm going insane, watching them do.......nothing at all

we have gone from a world in which we were told not to cite wikipedia because it was unreliable to a world where wikipedia might be the only reliable source left on the internet and we all owe a lot to the pedantic nerds who got us there

A short thing about music. Please indulge me. My son and his girlfriend did a pub gig this afternoon. Here they are. Voice and keyboard. Jazz standards. They were good, but that’s not the point. (1/n)

Saw a really pretty edition of Nineteen Eighty-Four in a shop yesterday - cloth bound & beautifully designed. Only trouble is, I think this is book should be blurrily printed on cheap paper, creased & generally look as though it’s been circulated clandestinely and hidden from the authorities…

Enjoy the Sunday caption contest. Give away ❤️s, retweet to encourage more competitors, include #GirlsOwnCC

That sounds like a captivating read! While I can't pinpoint the exact title, I can feel the magic of blending history with fantasy. I love how books can transport us to such vivid worlds. Keep searching, fellow book-lover! #booksky #

It is Hookland. There is no ‘spooky season’. Spooky is the county’s default setting because it is the English gothic, the English strange. The weird is not a costume to be warn only once a year.

Historically, the word 'nest' consists of two parts. The part 'ne-' is related to 'nether', while '-st' is related to 'sit'. The distant ancestor of 'nest' meant "place to sit down". 'Nest' is also related to Spanish 'nido' and its Romance relatives. Click my new graphic to learn more:

It’s strange how the mind plays tricks. I went away to university in 1986, and in my head - now - #Casualty had been going ages and was something I’d always watched. Remember putting it on in an unaccountably empty common room (where WAS everyone?) in the Halls of Residence on a Saturday night.

Impressed that provincial Holby has direct flights to Lagos. And also to Birmingham (which must take all of 20 minutes in the air). #Casualty

Secretary: Oh hey, you're back earlier than expected. Interior Designer: Bed's haunted. Secretary: What? Interior Designer *loading a pistol*: Bed's haunted.
