If you followed me over from X/twitter, at my request, do let me know. With so many name changes on here, I have no way of telling otherwise. A big welcome, anyway! Give the platform a chance. It’s a bit like the first fifty difficult pages of a brilliant book… well worth sticking with. x

For a trip down memory lane… watch “Take Me Home”, an 80’s drama on @bbciplayer.bsky.social Starring Keith Barron, Maggie O’Neill, Annette Crosbie and @reecedinsdale.bsky.social It’s a powerful piece and an interesting social commentary on life “then”. Hard to watch in parts. Acting is outstanding!

This is not for me to comment on really, but if it is to be re-made, please don’t make it uplifting, with characters full of resilience and hope… that would be the exact antithesis of the original. Thank you. www.radiotimes.com/tv/drama/thr...

Keir Starmer Wanted for Betrayal

My X account has been suspended so I’m unable to post on there today. Trying to verify my account but until it’s sorted I’d be really grateful if you could give me a mention or retweet a previous post. Today is 1350 days since I started my campaign. 1350 days the govt DCMS have done nothing

@reecedinsdale.bsky.socialI I was in Liverpool city centre today, killing time taking some photos. A lovely couple, lost, stopped me and asked directions. Turns out they were on a day out from your neck of the woods, spoke very highly of you😊

I must say, being on here, I don’t miss getting myself as wound up as I might on Xitter. None of us need that in this day and age. Life’s stressful enough without actively going looking for it. The hackles are still prone to rising… but certainly not as often. Calm & ease, Reece… calm & ease! 😄

I think you should include actor & director in your bio, not because of an 'ego' stance, but because it can be a springboard for conversation, and is why I include writer, photography & interest in Eastern philosophy in mine. Oh & IMO you're a proven damn good actor/director too. Hope this helps

Thought for the day.

I’m intrigued to have gathered so many new followers in recent days… predominantly American ones, too. 🤷‍♂️ Welcome, one and all. How’s it going your side?

A very good morning to you all i hope you all have a lovely day today and please stay safe #YNWA #LFC #REDSKY #Liverpoolfamily

RALLY FOR PALESTINE 🇵🇸 Join the demonstration in Parliament Square at 6PM on Monday 6 January. #StopArmingIsrael

What's going to happen in 2025 is very simple the world is going to be divided up among the billionaires and the world's dictators. Their primary goal will be destroying all the remaining countries that have any freedom at all. Which means most of you reading this post.

A skyline I never get bored of photographing.

Apparently The Broxetowe (ex-Labour) Independents have really had enough of Starmer’s austerity policies and lack of care for the poor and vulnerable And has anyone mentioned the 100 Labour members that have also resigned?

Don't let them get away with the Big Lie that it all started on 7th October.

"Put the needs of others first - those who are victims of abuse and exploitation." The absolute gall of this man! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

if you made art this year, you did well. a sketch, even if it was scrapped ; a poem, even if it was deleted — mattered. you put thought to paper, you engaged with the creative alchemy of turning feeling to something tangible. doesn't matter if you weren't productive "enough." or good "enough."

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year. Let's hope next year is a better year for the poorest & a more peaceful year for us all 🍻

Religions and the religious do not own, or have monopoly on, morality. Morality belongs to humanity. You don’t need a god to know what’s right and what’s not.

Thought for the day Only 10 more days until Easter eggs will be on the supermarket shelve😂😂

For the second Christmas this church nativity scene in Bethlehem depicts baby Jesus in the rubble. "Unfortunately, when we think of the birth of Baby Christ, we think of the babies brutally killed in Gaza” ~Bethlehem Lutheran Church pastor Munther Ishak.

It's great to know there are still decent people not prepared to abandon their principles for career advancement. 🕊️🇵🇸

A terminally ill man is asking for help, I'm new on here just a few weeks. I am a campaigner from the darkside X where I have 25k followers, I'm trying to grow my followers to help me with my government petition, I've helped change the law once but not far enough so I'm trying again with your help

The most downloaded track the 'unbiased' BBC refuse to play. Enjoy youtu.be/mQrvmY5s2mo?...
