For neurodiversity celebration week, two things you can do: 1) Read a neurodivergent-approved article about it (there's a lot of bullshit out there) 2) Don't donate to one of the big charities... Give your money directly to a neurodivergent person (buy us a coffee or something) 💁‍♂️

Farage on #r4today decrying the increase in costs & red tape since Brexit & calling for Brexit to be “done properly”. No longer part of the customs union/single market -both of which simplified bureacracy- the costs & red tape on trade have ofc ballooned. Why was this not put to him directly?

1 in 3 peers down to speak today are landlords. As a comparison - as a councillor I am expected to recuse myself from any debate or vote where I or a family member held a financial intetest. What about the bill's core principles are they so keen to put under the microscope?

The U.S. President has just advocated for the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip, “If we can find the right piece of land I think that would be better than [Palestinians] going back to Gaza” It’s Trump speaking but Netanyahu wrote the script. #Israel #Gaza

The Debtors' Prison, York. Built in the yard of York castle 1701-4. One of the wings housed debtors, the other felons. A grim place indeed. Dick Turpin, notorious highwayman spent his last days here. Now part of the Castle Museum. @grimartgroup.bsky.social #pencil #illustration

Powerful piece here on the state of the arts sector. At the Mills, we're bucking this trend but are fortunate to have been able to do so. This is what we have been working towards for the last decade: "Flourishing arts organisations in communities create economic benefit & a local sense of pride."

Hello, all. Because of the entry system screw up last night and we're a little low on entries, we'll reopen for 24 hours as soon as we can make it happen on Monday morning, so you have the weekend to get your entry ready, and we'll announce Monday when we're open! Share?! bssp.blogs.bristol.ac.uk

Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

Number 12 Goodramgate, York, currently home to Little Italy restaurant and delli, has a concealed 17th cent timber frame. 8, 10 Goodramgate next door was the 18th Red Lion coaching inn, later houses over shops. Doubtless grim working places. @grimartgroup.bsky.social #pencil #drawing
