Encountered this when trying to organise to meet a friend in London on a Sunday. She'd be coming from Leamington Spa. With works and strike action there was no way to do it in less than 6 hours return. Faster (& probably cheaper!) for her to visit me in Barcelona!

Yet more evidence that known creep is a creep (and possibly much worse). Those men who pontificate about what amazing feminists they are are always the ones to keep an eye on 🙄

Aww my first Bluesky threat! 😊 This is just like old times!
You’re next don’t worry
Huh. Turns out Bluesky *is* just like old-skool Twitter, but not in a good way. Baying mob of absolute nutjobs demanding @jessesingal.com be banned for easily disprovable things they completely made up.
And here was I thinking it was just kind of dull.
