Whoever: omg you actually did it? You helped him avoid assassination? Stopped both world wars and saved millions of lives? Completely changed the course of history.

Also a BBC Micro, at school, something like this, followed by a Mackintosh Classic. At home we at one point had a Mackintosh Classic and also a very chunky laptop running MS-DOS, but didn't really have a home computer pre Windows 95 or possibly 97.

Beautiful day on parliament lawn. Excellent speech from @kassiejade.bsky.social. Always good to have seats at protests too. Shame abt the disgrace inside the building. Restricting benefits of young people based on parental income will be devastating to queer youth in particular. Gotta keep fighting.

Excellent words from Crip the Lit's Etta Bollinger, @remedy.bsky.social and Lucy Croft, lovely to catch up with heaps of people in the audience too. Glad I pushed myself to go into town.

And lastly To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose - a captivating story of a First Nations girl at dragon training school. Sucked me right in. Bonus for what I thought was a solid description of a non-speaking autistic student. Loved it.

The Grimmelings by Rachael King @rachaelking70.bsky.social - written for MG but a great read for adults too, a lot of nuance and difficult questions, but more importantly terrifying water horses.
