If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

Ipswich has been loving this unique reimagining of the Tudor queens: we sold out of Six Wild Crowns by @hollyrace.bsky.social by the end of publication day yesterday!
Magic, courtly politics, dragons, sapphic romance, spies & amazing protagonists.. + it's beautiful too.

Really good reply on why continuously voting for the last worst option is a fools game
Hi Adrian, this deserves a long answer, so this might stretch across a few posts. Sorry about that! So... In normal times, I am largely in favour of harm reduction when voting. No party is perfect, but some parties are clearly less harmful than others – so pick the "least harm" option.

What's everyone reading this weekend? I've nabbed a copy of @hollyrace.bsky.social's new fantasy on Netgalley - a feminist reimagining of Henry VIII's queens. I've been rewatching Wolf Hall so this will be a nice counterpoint!
