ILYAgraphic @ilyagraphic.bsky.social · 28/05/2026The relentless slog for attention continues. IS there any extant life on Bluesky? X seems dead but so does this too - it's a shame. Most of the time I forget it is here. edilya.substack.com/p/romo-2-wee... 000

ILYAgraphic @ilyagraphic.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Named and shamed: BOSH! This has to be one of the worst (food) rip-offs I've ever experienced. RRP of £4.55 for... this. Pathetic. AVOID! If there's 16grams of protein here it can't be in the cheese. 010
Reposted by ILYAgraphicDavid Wynne @davidwynne.bsky.social · 22/03/2026There’s an absolute bloody lorry load of stuff that appeared in Deadline that has disappeared into the ether, too, and pretty much all of that was brilliant.

ILYAgraphic @ilyagraphic.bsky.social · 27/02/2026The funny little "Bye Bye" I included at the end got cut off the audio here, and the cloth-minded tech spelled it out as "bye" all the way through anyway, so now it seems like just aggressive shilling and no longer works so well - but it's what I have.
