Had a nice day in town. Highlights included seeing a Sinclair C5 parked on the street, buying a Jellycat that I’d been looking for, brunch with milkshake, spotting an instant noodle ceramic candle (@cheapshow.bsky.social) and buying a huge mochi pufferfish for only £8.

I hurt my wrist making this nonsense.
A couple of years ago, one of our very talented viewers made us a Beanus nutcracker for Christmas. Now she's made us a Beanus caganer. It's amazing and awful.

6,000 signatures in the first 6 hours, not a bad start!

Let’s keep the momentum going! Would be amazing to wake up to 10,000..

We were planning to celebrate US Thanksgiving today, after DNA testing earlier in the year proved that my husband is descended from early American settlers (and related to Buffalo Bill!) The plan lost its shine after recent events, so we went to Southampton to indulge my Titanic obsession instead.

My thoughts on the "bluesky is an echo-chamber" thing...

Fine. I'm not using bluesky to decide my world view. Social media is not a tool for understanding the world.

Unless you invite strangers along to shout their opinions in your face when you're socialising, you're in an echo-chamber too!

I’ll have them know that I’m an elder millennial and have been enjoying ‘fancy woke fillings’ for about 20 years.

Just got home from seeing @countarthurstrong.bsky.social live in Bath. This is the third of his live shows I’ve seen, and was excellent as always. Particularly nice to hear three of my main interests (Tolkien, the Titanic, and guinea pigs) mentioned in the show! 😅💚

It’s not an echo chamber we just don’t accept hate speech and shitty right wing media. It’s really interesting to see how hard the pundit class is trying to claim that if you don’t accept far right and increasingly fascist viewpoint, you live in an echo chamber. This is a demonstrable lie.

I’ll miss Twitter, but not X. And the Twitter I loved was the interaction with good people, rather than the platform. I’m looking forward to spending time with you all without the hate-tinted backdrop.
