Just sent a message to a few people to join #Bluesky and then I deleted the app of the other place. I don’t need it. I am happy here. Phew! #Blueskymigration

Here is my Starter Cats pack! It's a collection of real people (non-bot, non-image scraper) accounts that post mostly cat content. I just updated it to put the requirements in the description so you can check before nominating someone. 🥰 go.bsky.app/J8yqxnN

#UniversalBasicIncome

With #StormBert affecting many across the UK, caused by climate change, it's time for #UBI.

"What we don’t know is whether universal basic income will assist with our transition towards a net zero economy. I’m betting it will."

Universal basic income for a just transition
Universal basic income has arguably never been a more important tool. People and societies need assistance with the transition to Net Zero.

A squirrel in Downing Street. Where were you @number10cat.bsky.social? Snug inside?

Listening to The Mysterious Affair at Styles on Audible and happy to say this is reading (especially as all the letters in my printed book keep jumping around due to illness). #reading @agathachristieltd.bsky.social #audiobooks

(Finally) escaping twitter reminds me of this mystic I once read who said that the gates of hell are always open for those who are ready to leave.

This (below) is true & like spoon theory but right now fatigue is not even giving me quarter of a jug. At least I have energy to be grateful for the comfort of little things - to scroll @bsky.app in search of #cats 😹 but I wish I could see real Bluesky #chronicillness #fatigue #migraine #hemiplegia
November 24, 2024 at 7:36 AM
Amen to this! I am itching to get some fresh air and desperate to not be stuck inside in pain and fatigue, unable to do anything. Oh for a normal life!

@number10cat.bsky.social Will your friend Justin Ng be joining us here, Boss?

I have been collecting pictures from various sources for my PhD proposal about companion animals and changing interior spaces. This one caught my eye - but what is she looking at? Any thoughts? #historian #history #puzzle #artefact #art

If you have been stuck in bed like me you can only be in awe of such incredible beauty.

Is it me or has this dude come dressed like a chicken?

The Church in Stanbury was inspired by Haworth Rector, Rev. Patrick Brontë, built as a Sunday School by his future son-in-law Rev. Arthur Bell Nicholls and opened in 1848. It is thought that Charlotte Brontë may also have taught intermittently at the school. It was renamed in 1998 as St. Gabriel’s

Been living with the consequences on #hemiplegicmigraine and #dysautonomia the last ten days and yesterday I couldn’t walk. I would love to raise more awareness of these conditions on Bluesky and hope the connected welfare organisations join #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillness
