Winter 2/3 complete

Love so many Marianne Faithfull tracks but this is the one that lingered longest for me m.youtube.com/watch?v=ndse...

People often ask what my first name is short for, which surprises me. What is the longer version of Todd?

Not to ruin the suspense or anything, but @theguardian.com will reveal its pick for best album of 2024 tomorrow and Brat hasn’t yet featured, so place your bets now www.theguardian.com/music/2024/d...

Humbled to be in such good company on this list. Thank you @clairemabey.bsky.social @thespinoff.bsky.social

Happy publication day, Catherine Chidgey! In a Fishbone Church, Catherine's groundbreaking debut, is back in bookshops alongside new editions of two recent bestsellers, The Axeman’s Carnival and Pet, in stunning series design by Todd Atticus ✨ @catherinechidgey.bsky.social @toddatticus.bsky.social

WILD DIDION & THING BABITZ

All the Tory voters in my life performing aghast and infuriated at anything this Labour government does and pretending so hard that they’d been willing to give them a chance if only they hadn’t gone a blown it with [insert literally any policy here]

Just watched Gladiator II. What WILL they do to Dondas?!

Mum, after years of buying everything on Amazon: sad to see all the empty shops in town, the high street looks so run down.

Show me a more British sign

Encountered the word cowhide in a novel today and stumbled on it, realised I was trying to pronounce it as a Māori word, despite there not being any c or d in te reo.

I was literally just on a night walk and looking at this silly thing glowing away in the distance thinking “who pays money to go on that?” The universe has provided me an answer.

Same post, different platform. I may prefer the gently simmering, interpersonal Bluesky experience, but on the rare occasion when you manage to impress Meta’s algorithm, Threads is sheer adrenaline.

I could live inside @channel4tv.bsky.social's idents forever.

It takes guts to commit to design style rules with this degree of conviction.

Assuming no other constitutional changes, if the UK ditched the monarchy, what would it be called? Republic of Britain? The United Republic? Or would it keep ‘Kingdom’ as a silly throwback like it does other obsolete things like red telephone boxes, Sunday trading laws, and, well, the Royal Family?

If I told you how long it’s taking me to finish Orbital, you’d know that any impression I’ve ever given about being a voracious reader was total posturing.

Incredible to see!

Some interesting thoughts here on what leaving Twitter/X means for an independent publisher who has previously relied on the platform for a large portion of their online promotion.

Someone is doing an incredible job impersonating INTERPOL on here.

Overheard on a tube escalator: What’s a sello tape?

Literally me rn

After two years of writing and 18 years of life, this is out next March: my memoir about my autistic son James, how songs became our shared language... and how music & its magic affect us all. Pre-order here! linktr.ee/maybeimamazed

I don't care that Kemi Badenoch is now on Bluesky. In fact I'm 100% indifferent to it. And that's the difference between this site and the other one. I can continue not caring about it, safe in the knowledge that no malevolent overlord is going to make me care by forcing her content onto my feed.

We have ascended to Bluesky. Tell a friend.

Anybody have a design industry starter pack handy?

Hello, hi. I’ve made an inexhaustive starter pack of the bookish people I’ve found here so far 📚 go.bsky.app/EeTCv2s
