@MichaelRosenYes Well at least you could if you felt like it - unlike the irritating troll bot

[Lu Hersey 📚🌾 @LuWrites]

@CarlBovisNature Yes! Been thinking I must get a swift box for next year! So lovely to have them screaming overhead...

@arf84648947 @jriekemann Maybe you could lose an o in count...

Angela Rayner was dragged through every front page for weeks...

HMRC's verdict: NOT deliberate. NOT even careless.

Farage pockets £5 million and chooses not to declare it

So where's the wall-to-wall coverage?

Tell me this isn't a rigged game.

Has anyone, ever, in the entire history of mobile phones, managed to set fire to a petrol station by mistake while using their phone? (Asking for a friend and obviously not me sneakily posting this at the garage)

If you live in the UK and are voting in council elections today, please don't vote for Reform. Their policies are entirely hate mongering, rascist and ill informed and their leader is an unpleasant, exploitative millionaire pretending to be a man of the people.

Oh what a surprise. 🙄

BP profits more than double as Iran war sends oil prices higher https://t.co/loWNLL93vS

@HorribleSanity @_newspapers Glad it has, though. Magpies usually get bad press.

@HouseRowena @ZoeJardiniere That's much politer than what I was going to say 😁

When the world has gone to hell in a handcart, maybe try creating your own (possibly smaller) one... https://t.co/LtWsZvr7V6

@PhilMyers53 @welshroots If you actually suggested we try to rejoin the EU, you could win the next election. It's the only sensible way forward. Reform voters are going to vote for Nigel anyway - they'd vote for a sheep if it represented their values (so long as it was a white sheep, obviously 🐑)

Two fabulous writers and an editor. Lovely launch @mrbsemporium for new dystopian YA The Emptying, out with @TroikaBooks, written by fabulously talented writer duo @RachelDelahaye and @MimiThebo - and now right at the top of my tbr pile! 📚

[Rachel Delahaye = racheldelahaye.bsky.social @RachelDelahaye]

Dystopian fic isn't 'drama' - it's forward thinking. Let's revisit The Machine Stops, E.M Forster, (1909): “We created the Machine, to do our will, but we cannot make it do our will now. It has robbed us of the sense of space and of the sense of touch.”
Now try this #TheEmptying

@Miss_Snuffy They're only trying to help. Why not rant about something worth ranting about, like how the government is allowing American aircraft to use UK bases to fight their illegal war?

[Lu Hersey 📚🌾 @LuWrites]

No idea if this idea works but the belief that it could is an ancient one...
