Finished @alexsegura.bsky.social’s Secret Identity this afternoon—brilliant, loved every page. The central mystery makes this a real page-turner, and Carmen Valdez is officially one of my favorite fictional characters. I found myself thrilled and worried for her throughout—audible gasps. #BookSky

Happy pub day @blacktopkid.bsky.social 🔥 There is a type of darkness you cannot hide from. Cosby taps into this darkness and as with his last four books, harnesses it yet again. All hail KING OF ASHES. A tale that keeps the crown not where it needs to be, but where it deserves to be. Fun was had!

What’s more worrying than these councillors’ youth is that the one in charge of adult services has posted racist messages & believes depression isn’t real, & the student in charge of children’s services thinks his experiences in life are representative of clients’. new.basw.co.uk/about-social...

Tory legacy. Fire stations in England “falling apart”, Funding down by £1bn, call outs up by a fifth. Firefighter numbers down by a quarter in seven years, 11,000 full-time staff. Population increased but lack of investment in infrastructure, tax cuts for the rich. Readying for privatisation?
