First time catching a sunset in a squirrel eye. Might make this a thing.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

This exactly!! Perversely it might even get spun like an evil machination. Idolatry. False prophets. The Antichrist tempting people with promises of Paradise on earth.

I never read it myself but it was on our bookshelf and my parents would talk about it sometimes. Pretty sure we had “I Wish We’d All Been Ready” on vinyl! 😅

That was also the moment private Christian schools were forced to desegregate. The ‘90s Left Behind era was like the next gen of all of that, chewed up and made digestible for the mainstream.

Erica Brooks @ebrooks.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

And long before Left Behind there was A Thief in the Night and The Late Great Planet Earth and “I Wish We’d All Been Ready”. The idea that the world is doomed is baked into the moment the Christian Right became a US political force. It means anyone trying to improve things is suspect by definition.

Just finished this one and WHEW. I mean tbh I wanted to scream at the very premise of signing up for solitude and discovering precisely one (1) other person is there, so I should have known this would keep crawling right under my skin. Is “autistic horror” a genre?

Speaking as a dual citizen, I feel like a lot of this is down to universal healthcare being long treated as an extreme position in the US and settled policy in the UK. Not really the case anymore, as you said, but I think that’s the root of a lot of it.

Uh hi internet stranger, I’m biased here as my husband works for them but FreeAgent is cloud-based fwiw? If you bank with NatWest it’s included but I think they do a free trial too.

Little known to many, on the 10th June, the government released the interim report on ADHD and neurodiversity services in the UK. It came out to very little fanfare. Why? Because it doesn't match the government & the press narrative on "an epidemic of neurodiversity diagnoses".

If you are unaware of just how serious recent changes to guidance for schools re trans kids is, read this thread. It is horrific. Stop worrying about what Reform would do if elected and start seeing clearly what this Labour government is already doing. 😡😢

Thomas Paine is my favorite founding father. He was famously abolitionist and one of the earliest voices to point out the hypocrisy of fighting for independence while keeping slaves. He also firmly believed that keeping any friendship which required compromising your morals made you a bad person.

My neighbor told me a cat keeps eating his british prime minister so I asked how many PMs he has and he said he just goes to the commons and gets a new PM afterwards so I said it sounds like he's just feeding PMs to a cat and then his daughter started crying.

For many LGBT folk like me, and especially trans folk, Keir Starmer will be remembered in the same way as Margaret Thatcher: with deep contempt for having overseen a deeply hostile, queerphobic government, which rolled back human rights and set society back by at least a decade. Good riddance.

The connection here is the knee-jerk need for control over children rather than actually listening to them and connecting. I genuinely think it’s all the same (authoritarian) impulse.

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

That may be the very reason the parent needs the kiddo to sit, to be fair. If they’re antsy and likely to run around, they might bother other passengers, or even worse, get lost in the crowd.
