Here's to a new year and the hopes that at least some of our fears turn out to be unfounded. 😬

Seriously though, thank you to everyone who has made BlueSky a comparatively friendly and chill platform. You're all awesome. ☺️

Us introverts ALWAYS have to have our alone-time to recover from being social to recharge our social battery. It’s nothing personal to anyone, we just like/are used to our own company.

NHS funding per patient is now more than 6% lower than in 2010.

The NHS does not have 'more money than ever' as is constantly repeated.

This is a lie, RP so everyone knows.

The £2 bus fare cap has been a lifeline.

Raising it to £3 will hit commuters hard, deepen financial hardship & push people away from sustainable travel.

I’ve written to @richardparkerwm.bsky.social urging him to take a page from @andyburnham.bsky.social & protect the £2 cap through 2025.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.

More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

Now.

Things to remember if you're a first-time author:

✨ One sentence at a time is still progress
✨ Plotter or panster, every first draft is messy
✨ Progress doesn't always mean word count
✨ You do NOT have to write chronologically
✨ Always remember what drove you to write your story

Poems in the tradition of S. Sassoon and W. Owen endured for a reason. The hope attached to each was that we could move collectively into a post-war reality. A reality that, unfortunately seems as far away now as it did back then.

Playing the Silent Hill 2 Remake, much like the original game, has been an endurance battle but, unlike most titles that I would say similarly of, I mean that as a very high compliment. The scares are many, the atmosphere is unendingly oppressive and the story remains one of the best in the genre.

The cost-of-living crisis is far from over, yet the government’s 50% increase to the bus fare cap is a political choice, adding hundreds to annual costs.

To address hardship & the climate crisis, the government must keep the £2 cap & make public transport accessible for all.

Advice from a Literature teacher and resister: read your history, but don’t forget your literature.

Resistance is woven through the words of abolitionism and feminism and anti-fascism. Read the history and the literature.
