Hello! I’m new(ish) to Blue Sky so I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m Emma and I run a Vintage clothing shop called Blondies Retro. I’m Northern Irish and based in Salisbury in the UK. I specialise in brightly coloured patterns and mostly 1980s clothing. Feel free to say hello 👋

"...NOAA Hurricane Hunters flying Melissa dropped an instrument into its powerful southern eyewall that measured an instantaneous wind – an extreme gust – of 252 mph just above the ocean surface."
"...this would be the highest instantaneous wind ever observed inside a tropical cyclone..."

So much news today with Hurricane Melissa. Between wall-to-wall on-air coverage, I've managed to also pull together a special late edition of the daily newsletter, including everything we know so far about Melissa. My heart is with all those affected.
Category 5 Melissa Slams Jamaica at Peak Intensity, Catastrophic Conditions Ongoing
Melissa ties Dorian in 2019 and the 1935 Labor Day hurricane as the strongest landfalling Atlantic basin hurricane on record

I could never have dreamed that the former Director of the FBI would have to take to social media to warn of the dictatorial behaviour of his President. #blackmirror has become reality @mrjamesob.bsky.social

For the record.
My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers.
I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

Danny Kruger is my MP and I’m not surprised that he has defected to Reform- he’s an ambitious weasel. Wearing Barbour and tweed doesn’t cut it anymore around here and Labour and Lib Dem were hot on his heels in the last election. The guy absolutely gives me the creeps… 🤮

I am angry. Like really angry.
Because a person who every day attacked people was shot.
And straight away.
Hateful people as usual blamed people they didn’t like.
When as usual it was their own people.
And the people who actually caused it.
Blamed the left. Again.

I intervened in someone from the hospitality industry being harangued tonight by a self-entitled Drama Queen. I got a mouthful in return but it was worth it. Her colleague approached me later to say Thank you for stepping in. Please don’t be a bystander to abuse. No-one deserves that.

The media mogul Barry Diller announced that he is an openly gay man via an excerpt from a forthcoming memoir. Diller wrote of a quiet suffering he felt by hiding his sexuality and a fear of exposure, while also celebrating his marriage to Diane von Furstenberg. nyti.ms/434O7OM
