I will be interviewing Dr Warren for @histassoc.bsky.social this evening! Tune in! It promises to be a very interesting session exploring his research on the historical links between birds, place names and the natural history of England.

All the toilets I have visited in Amsterdam and Haarlem have been gender neutral and there’s been absolutely zero problems. No one here minds. So yeah, why can’t we do this in the UK?

This is going to sound incredibly earnest and preachy but fuck it. Support creative people. Buy their stuff. Share it on here. Music, art, words, whatever. Things made by humans for humans.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than books! Many also have dvds, cds, board games, video game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, computers, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, passport services and so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit 📚❤️

Thank fuck for that! Eurovision doesn’t have to go to Israel next year. And a good plus is that the young Austrian singer is a fantastic counter tenor and his song is pretty good. #eurovision

I am SO looking forward to the YouTube videos from Americans reacting to the Baby Lasagna vs Käärijä mash-up. The "what the fuck am I watching?" will be truly epic to behold #Eurovision #Eurovision2025 #ESC2025

“Island of strangers”? Not the UK we’ve seen. After 18 months of chats across the UK, one message is loud and clear: people want connection. 🧡 They’re asking for libraries, noticeboards, co-ops, community spaces - not division. We’re not strangers. We’re neighbours, creatives, problem-solvers.

Wouldn’t it be cool if we just taxed wealth enough that we didn’t have billionaires and instead we all had nice things like great schools, beautiful parks, excellent public transit, clean air, etc?

The rhetoric of this government threatens to create a more angry and divided world. What can we do? Every day, people are creating a different world on the ground. Today @westlondonwelcome.bsky.social posted this, reminding me we can hold faith with that world of connection and kindness:

Wonderful to see Lennie James win a BAFTA for Bernardine Evaristo’s Mr Loverman. I thought he was phenomenal in the role of Barrington Walker.

Watching the BAFTAs and found out Jean Marsh has died. Broke my heart a little bit. I always admired her for her work on Upstairs and Downstairs as co-creator of the historical drama and for portraying Edwardian housemaid Rose.

The UK is reportedly in discussions over the recognition of a Palestinian state. We once again urge our leaders to play their part in bringing the 58-year occupation to an end and recognise the state of Palestine with immediate effect. www.quaker.org.uk/news-and-eve...

Louis Theroux’s new documentary is just chilling. A perfect example of the extremism, bigotry and cruelty Palestinians are facing every day in the West Bank.
