Hello new folks, welcome to Bluesky! I’m Joel and I am from NI. I made a game called Feud, am making my own game engine called Growl, and write poems. I look after a very old cat and I love mountains.
Welcome. It’s safer here.

Just did my first 10K in over a decade (a few months after doing my first 5K in about the same time). Wasn’t fast but I didn’t stop! Feeling very proud of myself

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

This is grim & dangerous over reach.
This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.
Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

I think Bluesky could still be saved. Won't be, but could. They should hire me as Head of Comms. I could fix her (Jay)
