I should take advantage of the opportunity here to say that I have a book. It’s sold considerably more than 106 copies but I would definitely like to sell some more and if you hate everything Braverman stands for, you’ll enjoy it. geni.us/BreakingMicW...

The number of ice creams I’ve seen snatched! They sit on the lampposts and target their victim before they swoop. It’s clever but frightening if you aren’t expecting it. Been the victim of gull swoops myself but I still admire their opportunist modus operandi

I live by the sea. I once watched a gull lift a whole steak from the plate of a guy eating his dinner in a seaside cafe. We watched one bring a whole live snake back to its nest this summer! They are incredible survivors and brilliant parents

Yes one of my daughters in law got that as a 6thformer because her single parent mum was a low earner. Has that gone now? It was great for keeping kids in education from families that otherwise couldn’t afford it and would want them working. She’s got a masters now!

Interesting thought would Reform/Restore watch it or not? Memories of the ‘old days’ variety shows watch it, features ‘black people’ don’t watch it? Black face was still a thing for dressing up when I first moved to the SW. Cringe.

TerriW @terriw.bsky.social · 22/09/2026
I’m not sure what is more unsettling the weird face paint or the bizarre wigs! We used to watch it on Saturday nights when I was a child. I used to find it slightly disturbing. My Dad was a keen consumer of variety and comedy shows

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

I just got an early copy of a book that is an absolute must for a school/home/public library by @amdassu.bsky.social with art by Mia Saine. It covers everything from the history of racism to fake news and practical things kids and families can do to fight racism. Out 24th sept #KidlitUIK
The cover of TACKLING RACISM TOGETHER in partnership with SHOW RACISM THE RED CARD by AM Dassu and Mia Saine. The cover shows human hands in many colours. It's published by Words and Pictures (part of Quarto). My white hand is holding the book against my green wallpaper.

I enjoyed writing this one.
Go back to first principles and the entire performance of royalty is fundamentally weird. We’re over a quarter of the way through the 21st century and still expected to believe there is a group of people born with an intrinsic specialness and that, at any given time, one of them is chosen by God to sit on a throne, wear a special hat, and ‘rule’ over the rest of us. Is it any wonder that those journalists and commentators who focus on the royals are themselves so utterly weird?

Concentration and constant talking are often the problems for kids and S my friend at school where everyone is supposed to be quiet and sit down for extended periods. Do the meds help this? I don’t know but stigmatising people or implying it’s not real isn’t going to help.

I’ve just posted a link to Will Self’s piece on Arday. On X unfortunately. It includes a list of the people he accuses and why. It’s a long piece and one can feel the heat of his anger. She is on the list.

Nope and nope. If I want to have a Beatles moment I’ll watch Get Back, any of their actual films or remember Paul McCartney singing with JL at Glasto. I saw them but I was a v young screaming teenager, historical moment I guess.

As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports. Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round. A missed opportunity?

One of russia’s key goals in this war is to destroy Ukrainian national identity. They haven’t succeeded. And they won’t. That is why a discussion about how Ukraine presents its culture to the world was the main reason I went to Bouquet Kyiv Stage, a High Art Festival, today.
