You won't hear the institutional racists in media and politics recognise or commend him. Facts that don't fit the narrative dont work for them.
“To us – he’s always been a hero”

Recognising the incredible bravery of Sam

Nobody asked me for VINCENT and Bagpuss t-shirt designs, based on the artwork from Amazing Things but I made them anyway.

This is a must if you're in Newcastle, I just wish I could go.
Our Ouseburn Open Studios is on the last weekend of November this year.
It’s a rare opportunity to see inside the studios & to buy direct from the artists and designers. I will have paintings, handmade limited edition prints & handmade books for sale.

After listening to the David Byrne ep of the Adam Buxton podcast, I signed up to the 'reasons to be cheerful' newsletter. Stories like this give me a real boost. reasonstobecheerful.world/moldova-citi...

When Russia invaded Ukraine, Moldova quickly empowered its small towns to produce their own renewable energy so no one could push it around.

44 years old and my dentist has just had to pull out her little mouth model to show me how I should be brushing. Not even a sticker to show for it!

Free Thinking is one of the jewels in the BBC crown and the last two episodes on 'The status of science' and 'Traditions, roots and local pride' have been really excellent.

Amazing news. I always forget that my colleagues are actually working on life-saving projects while I'm chasing them for more mundane tasks.

@gargarin.bsky.social I've just remembered that you were in my dream last night. I was really excited that I'd found a cool brutalist town postcard and I was going to send it to you!

Gene were really great last night. Tight musically and just banger after banger. They're doing a short tour next year and you should definitely go and see them.
#gene Fabulous to see Gene again! They were totally on the money. Olympians, even.
