I'm late to this party, but Aubrey and the Terrible Yoot by @horatioclare.bsky.social and illustrated by Jane Matthews (not sure if she's on Bluesky) is a brilliant book, that deals with its serious subject with imagination and hope. I'm very glad I finally got round to reading it.

Grok AI says its master Elon Musk's cuts to US AID will cause 2-3 million preventable deaths per year. The idea that a man so politically ignorant, socially cruel and pathologically narcissistic should have the remotest idea about the UK, or anything whatsoever to contribute to our future, is a joke

Reading this insightful book by @horatioclare.bsky.social - he quotes Clare Moseley of Care4Calais "If we had put all the billions of pounds we're spending on the asylum backlog, on the hotels, on the holding centres, on Rwanda, on all the security into investing in infrastructure and jobs..imagine"

Definitely a listening priority for me. When I worked for Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, we were negotiating with farmers to protect the coastal heath and its insect populations, which are choughs' main food supply. Looks like it worked, with nearly 100 breeding pairs last year!

Grateful for the opportunity to add my name to this list of writers calling for a boycott. I remember the consumer boycott of South Africa towards the end of Apartheid. History shows that made a small difference. Thx @horatioclare.bsky.social for organising this. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

Glad to have signed this deeply thought-through letter. It often feels there’s little we can do, yet we can’t let what we witness on our screens & in print numb or paralyse us. Until the civilians of Gaza are safe & given adequate food, water, medical aid & relief. TY @horatioclare.bsky.social
