Dear Brits, You've got no idea how the damage that you have inflicted on your country looks from outside. The BBC World Service is one of the few things that make you still look sane. Don't kill it. Not now. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I went to a birthday meal the other night. We were British, Spanish, Irish, German, Polish, Australian, and Peruvian. We shared food and had fun because we're human beings and that's what we do. Don't let anyone try to take that away.

What I’m wearing to the bsky Valentine’s ball

Valentines disco at home with music curated by my daughter. Mostly 80s Goth and alternative. Bloody brilliant. One happy gen X mum.

Gotta go, my ride's here

Ahem... Storm Oriana. Sorry. (No wonder she took a fence). #StormOriana #Oriana

Storm Ariana just totalled our giant cactus, taking the fence with it. Hoping those will be the only casualties, but it's not reached its peak yet.

Hunkering down as Storm Oriana heads our way. Winds gusting up to 100km per hour forecast. Eek...!

Enjoyed this rumination on the connections between idioms and aspects of national character. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Great idea! ⬇️ www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Another excellent thread by Tom. ⬇️ Tip to other authors on Bluesky (including me): this is a great way to promote your books.

"The world isn’t becoming a worse place, the terrible things have just been exposed. And once you can see them you can fight them." A good point from @chadbourn.bsky.social ⬇️ open.substack.com/pub/chadbour...

Bit late, but here is this morning's #MediterraneanSunrise

Would it be a terrible idea for school examinations to be given more time, with faster finishers allowed to leave every half an hour after a minimum time had passed? I'm sure a lot of exam stress is because of tough time constraints. 🍎 #Edusky

Love this. My kind of resistance.

Excellent news, Podyssey is back 😊

Feeling quite pleased with the multimedia teen leisure lounge I've created in the basement. Coloured lights, seating, snacks served in coloured bowls, decent loudspeaker and a projector for their vids. Rewarding myself with a can of cider while the teens do their teen things downstairs.

Just saw someone taking a big bite out of a mandarina instead of pulling off the segments. What's THAT all about....?

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

hey, does anyone here have an Echo Mini, and were you able to successfully add and use a microSD expansion guy in it? we are slightly stumped as to how to make the little guy notice that it contains 256 additional GB of music storage now.

Somebody told me this afternoon they borrowed my book from the library and read it in a matter of hours because it was such a page-turner and they couldn't put it down. Absolutely made my day. Authors love libraries!

Good evening Bluesky! #MediterraneanDusk

What happens when your bus driver goes rogue 😲

I can't not share this. Absolutely on the nail.

Which class readers/literature texts found a place in your heart? Just found my old O Level text, the poetry anthology Up The Line To Death, which I chose for my prize when I got a Sixth Form academic award. Still love Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber which I studied at uni. Plus more. You? 📚💙📚💙

"The great weakness of the current free speech debate is not that people fail to demand free speech. It is that they only ever demand it for their side." Ian nails it.

This conversation smells of a warped sense of soapsuddy joy.

The National Year of Reading has just launched in the UK. Reading, as I've often said, is quite a good idea, and this campaign encourages folks to delve deeper into their passion for books. MY books, in particular. (OK fine, maybe other books too) #GoAllIn2026 #NationalYearofReading2026

We've done a Quiet Riot starter pack for all those (finally!) heading over from the other place. bsky.app/starter-pack...
