On 🟦-sky now too as well, as this place continues to become unusable. Find me there if I haven't found you!

[Laura Bradley @lc_bradley]

In case this latest nonsense breaks the site/crumbles under the weight of its own absurdity/opens a hell dimension I'm lcbradley on IG (rarely). Open to bsky invites if anyone has one spare...

@Ruthcrafts My most recent is going through the whole back catalogue of @IfBooksPod - the Hillbilly Elegy one's been recced around recently but I especially liked the Love Languages one and San Fransicko.

The far-right did not wake up as geniuses one day and decide to target immigration services. @pritipatel sent them to us when she labelled us "lefty laywers" and "do-gooders". Any statements she makes this week which seem "sensible" are posthumous denials of accountability.

@LyricBelfast Hi folks, really looking forward to this show! Could you please include #AltText when posting images? It means blind and partially sighted people - and others with visual processing issues - can get the production information, understand show/set photography etc #Accessibility

[Laura Bradley @lc_bradley]

And if you believe that, I've a bridge to sell you. (The bridge burns everything around it, steals, and is generally only capable of an hallucination of where it's supposed to be leading, but it can sometimes write an email so...)

Today, we’re delighted to announce a new partnership with the AI safety and research company @AnthropicAI.

Believing that AI will augment, not replace, human creativity, Anthropic will be hosting a series of workshops at #edfringe this August to help artists, media and academics learn to use #AI as a day-to-day tool, freeing them up from burdensome administrative tasks so they can focus on their creative output.

Tickets onsale - and very limited - for our Disability Pride Soirée on Friday 19 July! Two shows, four fantastic acts in each, celebrating queer d/Deaf, disabled and neurodivergent artists across music, drag, comedy and poetry.

Thanks to @belfastcc and the Bank of Ideas voters!

And the thing is, *it doesn't even win him votes* from those hate groups, they're all still tweeting "Labour doesn't know what a woman is" and pretending they as lifelong labour lefties now have no choice to vote Reform/Tory. It's politically pointless.

[ALT Animation @ALTAnimation]

Here is the trailer for ‘To Break A Circle’, the short film from Kalia Firester we produced with @StudioMeala and @eimearnoone with the assistance of @NIScreen and @bfinetwork

Look out for it at the 36th Galway #FilmFleadh

[hoops @itsmatthooper]

tactical voting is not tactical voting if what you're voting for is the same as what you're voting against

[Kabosh @KaboshTheatre]

We’re reading a few bits as part of this lovely @HTRinfo event in @thelinenhall - pop in for a breather from the daily madness https://t.co/uTrV6fj7ug

[Laura Bradley @lc_bradley]

Really excited for this on Thursday! Love the idea of thinking more about how we make accessibility part of the performance-making and not a bolt-on at the end.

[UniversityOfAtypical @UniAtypical]

Sunday is Bank of Ideas voting day in Belfast! Head to City Hall between 2 pm and 5 pm to hear pitches from local people who want to make a creative project in their area. Then vote for your favourites to see which projects are given £2000 to bring their idea to life #Belfast2024

@Ruthcrafts The pro musicians I know are pretty much all on tablets now for almost everything, and of those almost all big on ForScore which is Apple only. But MuseScore and Musicnotes seem to be the other big ones.

Buying actual sheet music (in UK) from musicroom or ecopies from JWPepper?

[Laura Bradley @lc_bradley]

Use any of the literally dozens of empty buildings on Royal Avenue for retail. Turning the ground floor of 2RA - currently a creative and open space that doesn't demand spend to stay there - into retail and forcing community use upstairs would be a wild misunderstanding of needs.

[Daisy Chain Inc @DaisyChainInc]

Sigh.

If this goes ahead @belfastcc
will be torpedoing one of the best public assets in the city. Leave @2RoyalAvenue alone.

For all the people asking me to point to “just one study!!!!” that comprehensive sex education helps mitigate sexual violence and literacy around sexual abuse. Here’s a whole fucking thread 🧵

[Tjada D'Oyen McKenna @Tjada]

My colleague in Rafah said today that she woke her 6-month-old baby up in the middle of the night to play. With the heavy bombardment, she thought it would be their last night alive: "If this would be my last night at least I got the chance to hug my daughter for the last time."

An approximation of the missing alt text: Actor Barry Keoghan poses for a photograph on a green carpet. He's wearing a brown velvet three piece suit with a white neckscarf, and carrying a black top hat. He's wearing at least one wristwatch, and also has a pocket chain visible

[Laura Bradley @lc_bradley]

It's a bold move, the week after Merriam-Webster FAAFO.

Also bold, as a supposedly major cultural account *not to be using alt-text in the year of our lord 2024*. Showing you much you care about access for disabled people OR looking like a dick...

Hello little lassie, couldja point me in da direction of me missus? She's got a grand "me espresso" at home that i better be drinkin'
