@robinince.bsky.social is doing all sorts of incredible stuff on Patreon (just search Robin Ince) my personal favourite is Science Gossip. But the real gem is Liberation Conversations (also on Spotify). The Lucia Osbourne Crowley episode is a mush listen to EVERYONE!

I'm driving "up country" for 4 hours or so on Friday and I'm planning to listen to one of these in the way. Trust me it's going to be a great series

I planted some cabbages and ended up leaving them to the caterpillars One batch we brought inside and watched them hatch, grow, pupate and emerge as large white butterflies. Something happened to this one during metamorphosis so I got my dissection kit out. @johnwalterswildife.bsky.social

Invest in fixing the leaks you money hoarding b*st@rds. All water companies are the same. They lose more water than what they would gain but adding reservoirs and desalination plants

This man's work is brilliant, if you have not seen Robin Ince seek him out. I viscerally hate what has happened to him and others because I have seen it first hand with my husband. People with principles being harangued and told they are the one with the issue until they are forced to leave.

Just downloaded this and listening now. Love that the poem about Judi Dench planting trees in memory of others is in there. Also lovely to see @jillhturner.bsky.social painting of @robinince.bsky.social has been used. A tonic against the media and news. Support these guys at @cosmicshambles.com

I did a podcast about being curious where I went pond dipping. For a short moment I got to live out my childhood dream and pretend to be a wildlife presenter. Channeling Chris Packham and @georgemcgavin.bsky.social open.spotify.com/episode/5IyN...

Just picked this up from my local bookshop and went straight to the last story. @johnnymains.co.uk thanks for freaking me out and making me cry all before 11 am because it's such a hauntingly beautiful story you wrote. @blpublishing.bsky.social you have done it again

Carly Riley @carlyriley.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

I've heard the name Robert Aickman, because of @johnnymains.co.uk and so I was pleased to see a story by him in @blpublishing.bsky.social and holy moly I now *need* to find more stories by him. His style is so .... unsettling. As a reader you feel off kilter reading, it totally draws you in

5 year old son asks if I can spell dragon so I got him to spell it out and write it. Smugly thinking that I was getting him to do some writing and spelling. It very quickly spiraled into words like poo, wee and then

When you turn 40 and your work colleagues keep it low key but buy you awesome presents like plants for insects, a dung beetle for the garden, plus loads of tea! @georgemcgavin.bsky.social

I am lucky enough to say that I have seen one, dad and I would hunt for these in Cornwall and one day we found 2! He is no longer around but I still go out and hunt possible sites

Never in all my life did I think I would be able to stand in my own back garden in Cornwall, with my husband, (in pjs) and see the Northern Lights. It was like a fairytale.

Possessed a lost novel rediscovered by the endlessly determined @johnnymains.co.uk that has a nack (and a boat load of hardwork behind the scenes) for finding these incredible stories. All I will say is you will not see the twist coming and read his other finds from publisher Mislaid Books

So, just to confirm, the BBC can’t keep Robin Ince on the air because his trans allyship brings the organisation into disrepute, but they can keep David Walliams, who performed Nazi salutes at the recording of this very show, on the air despite him being predatory towards women. Cool. Very normal.
