Fired up after marching with @indivisiblelondon.bsky.social at the @ukstoptrump.bsky.social London protest this week.
Being around so many creative people and their positive energy really does make me braver and more hopeful.

@newcastleuni.bsky.social - this is what welcomes international students on your student union website.
No, it's not a button to take you back to a previous webpage.
It's a shame as Newcastle is a welcoming city. I hope whoever did this is either expelled or fired.

My talented daughter has a booking coming out in August. What are the chances that it's banned in red states?

Watching the UK #Conservatives trash themselves to complete pointlessness is so utterly boring and predictable.

On the VE anniversary I want to remember my late Uncle, Thomas Wieder, 101st Airborne who, "parachuted into the Battle of the Bulge and spent the rest of the war trying not to get his head shot off".
It's impossible to imagine how much sacrifice was made by so many people to defeat the Nazis.

This evening in Northumberland. About 20 years ago I was told by a elderly gentleman that our garden gate was made by his grandfather out of a single bed frame in around 1910. I went from wanting to replace it to lovng it for its ingenuity and longevity.

I feel recharged and refocused after the #HandsOff rally in London.
An amazing effort by a small number of people resulting in a powerful day for many.

If I didn't need Facebook for #metaldetecting, I'd be off Facebook tomorrow. Mark Zuckerberg and his ilk are an existential threat to democracy, but how would I identify my buttons!?

I hope that it goes okay for you and your family. Extreme weather is so scary.
Here's a photo of my cat to distract you.

A photo of my #cat Khaleesi Daenerys Stormborn Targaryen the Unburnt (or just plan Khali).
She is beautiful but generally not photogenic so here's her looking ferocious instead.
#HappyFriday!

A while ago now. Henry III approx 1248. I belong to a couple of groups and tend to go with them though I do have my own small permission. I've never had any luck on the beaches up here.
