I’ve written a piece on the curious lack of media and political interest in the issues faced by our national @britishlibrary.bsky.social. This is strange given we live in a world where ideas, knowledge and research are a long-term source of innovation and insight

Yes that's right, tonight offers another chance to catch a glimpse of the beautiful aurora borealis.
It looks like the strongest aurora will happen before midnight – but it'll depend on where you are in the UK and if you have clear skies. ☁️
Good luck!

The amount of fireworks going off this year has just been horrid. My poor kitty is so stressed out. Hovering under the table every night. It just goes on and on. People setting them off for more than a week in my neighbourhood & probably more to come. It's awful for animals & annoying af for people.

Here's what I wish more PRs understood. Many journalists/writers are introverts. Some of us are richly neurodiverse and have severe social anxiety. We want to network but we physically cannot. If you made PR events structured amd scheduled, rather than open mingling, we'd function much better.
