Hello from ADHD me who was just idly wondering when the paperback edition of It’s Not a Bloody Trend was coming out (I’ve been away) and blow me, it’s TODAY! With a lovely new quote from Bryony Gordon and everything! Thank you so much to Andrew and everyone at Robinson and Millie at United Agents!

Andrew McAleer @andymcaleer.bsky.social · 9d

It's #ADHDAwarenessMonth and one very good way to become more aware is to read It's Not a Bloody Trend, by @katbrownwrites.com, which is out in paperback this very day - retailer links here: www.hachette.co.uk/titles/kat-b...

Racism is unacceptable in any context, I’m sure we agree. The abuse shared was based was on skin colour (among other prejudices), with no apology yet given to those targeted. Many of whom are Labour Party members.

I believe you have apologised, but not to the community group racially abused on X in a post you endorsed by retweeting.

If you’re one of the surprisingly high crossover of “people on Bluesky” and “people at Labour conference” then please drag yourself to this at 10.30. Will probably consist of me repeatedly asking variants on “so… is there any money left to do anything?”

#OnThisDay 54 years ago the Victoria Line opened between Victoria and Brixton via Vauxhall and Stockwell (Pimlico opened in 1972). It was intended to continue to Streatham Hill, Streatham, and Norbury but never made it beyond here. More Tubemapper magic buff.ly/c0fy7Mz

Looking out of the open doors of a 2009 Stock standing at the platform at Brixton, the 'ton of bricks' tiled motif behind a platform bench is perfectly framed, with two blurred passengers either side hurrying past adding to the symmetry.

Gail’s is due to open early-mid September, according to their marketing people.

Has anyone heard anything more about the timeline for GAIL'S opening at former Dr Doolittle's site at 57-59 Streatham Hill?

Are they appointing a new design team to get Lambeth conservation area consent after they recently lost a planning appeal in Lewes?

There is a picture of an existing branch of Gail's Bakery with the caption "Coming soon to Streatham Hill".
