Lest we forget
A stone tablet shaped like a book with the poem In Flanders Fields engraved on it. The poem reads On Flanders Fields In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie. In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe; To you from falling hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. John McCrae

I can cheer up @miarobbo.bsky.social - if you think 9-0 is bad, I once played for Broughton Super Saints that lost 10-1 to Penyffordd. I scored a hat-trick of own goals, and got my Achilles raked so badly that the doctor said I couldn’t play for a year. Under 10s played tough in 1983 #askwxm

While I have been a huge fan of Pemberton & Shearsmith for years now, can I just say that Reece's #Taskmaster appearance has made me develop a tiny crush on him? He's so adorable! & how happy did he look asking for that turn-machine in Episode 9?

More book merch from my stash! I LOVE this faux scout badge that a very generous acquaintance sent me. Can you guess which popular urban fantasy series set in the UK this Fox Whisperer badge is inspired by? 💙📚

Today I found out that there are TWO Famer's Almanacs! The 'Old Farmer's Almanac' (founded 1792) and the 'Farmer's Almanac' (founded 1818). The NEWER one is the one that is shutting down, not the one with the cute, old-fashioned pale yellow cover that I'm sure we all can picture in our heads.

After more than two centuries in print, The Farmers’ Almanac will end its run with its 2026 edition.

Following up on my last repost about turning off the “Rude” filter - there are lots of other “helpful” moderation filters that Bluesky just decided to turn on & it’s a bit of a search to turn them off (or at least turn the ones you want off). But definitely worthwhile to review your own settings!
astridoverthere.bsky.social I said abolish and I fucking meant it @astridoverthere.bsky.social · 7d
Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

Happy Second Publish-iversary to VIVIANA VALENTINE AND THE TICKING CLOCK! It came out 364 days after VIVIANA VALENTINE GETS HER MAN, so tomorrow I'll be just as obnoxious about my book babies :-)

I didn’t know this existed until today. I mean, I left most of the settings on “Hide” (there are a lot) but I’m honestly not super offended by crude language - Like does that include swearing? I what have I missed?

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

But this also means we most likely won’t see him play for Wrexham again this season 😭
