Who remembers this skipping rhyme?

Raspberry, strawberry, gooseberry jam,
Tell me the name of your young man.
A, B, C, D….
Do you love him or not?
Yes, no, yes, no…
How many kisses did you give him?
5, 10, 15, 20…
What colour dress were you wearing?
Red, white, black…

I wrote a blog (it kind of turned into a massive essay) inspired by your series on Empire. I’d be honoured if you could read it. I mean, it’s not perfect but I had a go.

What does Europe mean to you?
My Grandad - a working class Scot who lived through WWII - loved and believed in Europe. It should be his legacy.
Watch European Movement UK's video featuring Caroline Lucas: bsky.app/profile/euro...
To so many of us, Europe is more than a place, it’s a part of who we are. Hear what the public had to say when we went out and asked them what Europe means to them.

It’s #AllSaintsDay - the perfect day to get a copy of Legends from Lindisfarne: Diverse & Inclusive Saints.

For those of you still stuck on #Halloween it includes the tale of St. Ronán, accused of being a werewolf!

Hey Keir Starmer, get the memo?

We’ve delivered thousands of messages to Number 10 from our supporters, with the help of some digi-vans!

People are fed up with politicians choosing failed policies and scapegoating over investing in all communities. Time for real change.

Does anyone else have a word (or words) they will never fully understand no matter how many dictionary definitions they read? It just doesn’t compute. I’ll go first.

@nocturnalxlight.bsky.social I wrote a whole blog in response to your Interview with the Vampire article, after rereading the book. Sorry that the colour goes weird at the end - I couldn’t fix it any better.

Happy Ace Week! Ace week runs this year from 19th to 25tb October.

This week should be about ace joy, as much as it is about awareness, education etc. but we know this week can be difficult too because with increased visibility there also comes acephobia.

It’s Ace Week and AVEN are raising funds to keep their vital work going. AVEN helped me discover myself in 2011 and publicly supported my first book of Asexual Fairy Tales. I’m so grateful!
