Can someone who follows both my accounts tell me if they have any of my other account's posts in their following feed this morning? *flail*

Halo, something has happened to my other account @philippa11.bsky.social, my following feed hasn't updated for an hour and when I look at my replies it's not seeing posts I replied to earlier. WTF?

Poverty doesn’t exist because there is not enough. There is more than enough. Poverty is a decision made by those with the ability to banish it.

Right so I've created a new profile, @philippa11.bsky.social with the same avatar, started following a few people I know. If you currently follow me I'd appreciate a follow over there; not going to abandon this account just yet but am getting ready to move.

Starting to think I may have to get a new profile on here, as I keep seeing 'blocked post' placeholders, meaning people are signed up to that list I got added to. Absolute bummer as I resent having to start again because someone who doesn't even know me decided I'm a wrong 'un.

This is the interview that caused me to fire up Reacher.

Read an interview with Lee Child and he seems like a decent sort, so I decided it was time to give Reacher a go. 2 episodes in, no regrets. Perfect Saturday night viewing.

Tagged the author of the book, but discovered she subscribes to that blocklist someone added me to, so she won't see it. OH WELL.

I've heard this too, from someone whose Mum (or someone) worked with him: he came across as bland and dull on TV but in person was rather charismatic.

Merlin tells me I heard a song thrush yelling its head off on my way to the station. Given its name I thought its call would be more of a, well, song. Blackbirds are way more melodic.

My hot take: all the best villains of New Who (eg Angels, Silents, Gas Mask Kid + co) were Moffatt ideas. RTD can't come up with anything as good, so all he's got is recycling.
