Tiptoeing back to BlueSky to see if cricket chat is a thing here or not (masochistically, given what happened in the first two tests and what we all fear/expect will happen in the current one). Anyone? Anyone?

Hello Bluesky, just dropping into your feed to tell you that we recently adopted two kittens and they’re the best thing to happen to us in years. Have some photos of Willow and Barley (sisters) to brighten up your timeline. You’re welcome.

It’s one year ago today that I lost my brilliant, brave, beautiful Mum. I first wrote this thread about grief and supporting a grieving person a year after we lost our dad. Reposting in memory of them both. Hope it helps someone today. ❤️
It's 2nd November today. All Souls’ Day, or Day of the Dead, or Día de Los Muertos, where some people in various cultures choose to honour the memory of their loved ones. It’s also, oddly appropriately, the anniversary of Dad dying. (1/)

“Contrary to what you would expect, I do not want a simple house. I want a complex house, because the house will define my world.” -lovely piece about designing homes for disability in this weekend's @ftweekend.com:
The aesthetics of accessibility: design for disability that’s dynamic not dreary
Architecture is at a fertile inflection point. But while housebuilding goals, sustainability and retrofitting are dominating the agenda, why does accessibility too often remain an afterthought?

So I don't have the energy to redo the entire thread about the papal conclave but I will redo the part about the Latin nerdery: the announcement of a new pope is always in Latin, and uses a very traditional form.

Really struggling to think of a worse idea than this one (and this is after waking up the news that Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz). I am grieving and I have zero desire to talk to an AI-generated version of the person I am missing.
You and me, we gonna live forever… as avatars, at least.
New ‘grief tech’ apps allow grieving families to communicate with dead relatives via an AI afterlife.

as ever. when people say "hard-won female spaces" all I can ever hear is "mechitzah", the curtain I grew up standing behind in synagoge while the men got on with doing the service & we women got to listen in silence, in our "hard-won female space".

Every feminist I know supports their sisters, cis and trans, and their non-binary siblings, concerned with domestic violence, public safety, equal pay, employment protection, access to healthcare, and other discrimination issues. Obsessing over who uses which loo isn't feminism. It's bigotry.

It’s unremittingly grey and cold and dank (in London at least). So here’s a thought to keep you going.
In about three or four weeks, the first sand martins will be arriving from Africa. Twelve centimetres long, they’ll have made a journey of up to about 9,000 kilometres. Ridiculous.
