Tomorrow is the @britbeerwriters.bsky.social awards and I wish everyone nominated good luck! I have the absolute privilege as a previous gold winner to say winning prizes isn’t a gauge of how your work resonates - waking up every day and doing something creative is the real prize!

Grand opening, grand closing.
X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

After being made redundant from my role back in October this is a heartening indication of the lasting impacts of my work and an insight for anyone wishing to take on a dynamic powerhouse of a colleague into their leadership team.

Fortnightly visit from my dad to check in on me and catch up.
"What's new then dad?"
"Nothing really, except your nephew's back in the mental ward."
"Sorry, what? Also, 'back'?"
So that was a weird chat :¬/

Okay, I've got a few, but any suggestions?
I feel like I should write a "Rules for Yuletide Drinking" article.
Not aimed at those who only "go out" in seasonal occasions, but at everyone who bemoans their pub being empty and wonders why without realising they might be the ones putting others off coming in more often.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I'm getting tempted by the idea of getting a treadmill because I just don't get out to exercise at the moment.
Just thinking of one of those fold up ones, but I'm really not sure it's worth it, or if it'll end up not being used. :-/

A lot of the local beer and cider on tap at the festival could be in more pubs if it weren't for our outdated licensing system. Consider joining CAMRA and lending your voice to the campaign for a fairer deal for our local producers.
We *are* furious. Northern Ireland's outdated licensing system is in dire need of reform, and today's setback is a huge blow to the incredible independent brewers and cider producers here.
