Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Know the difference

2 pictures. The first is a field of wheat that is labeled "Original Image". The second is a picture of the field after the wheat has been harvested labeled "Cropped Image"

We CBIAS folk have lofty aspirations.

Or "notions", as Irish people say.

I forgot that I had this made. As a prototype that never went into full production, it's the only one in existence and, therefore, highly desirable.

Let's start the bidding at £1,809, £1 for every day since the very first CBIAS.

For an extra 50%, you can have it signed by @martinjones.bsky.social.

I can't speak for all immigrants, but I'm obliviously just here for the extremely lucrative £26.05 I receive each week in child benefit, which is less than I would receive in Ireland.

The abstract submission deadline for #CBIAS2025 has just closed and, for the first time, we have a near perfect gender-balance in our abstract submissions.

In fact, we have slightly more submissions from women than men.

I've just started Claire Lombardo's Same As It Ever Was and I'm finding Julia's parenting struggles VERY relatable.

May or may not have something to do with the time of year.

Thanks Windows.

I had not fully considered the consequences of disabling a device and how this would impact upon its functionality.
