Well #sophiefromromania the prof has already gone to work so we’d better get up and start promoting the #parkypetition100K which needs another 90 signatures by 8:20 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Do any of you also have accounts on Threads or X or Facebook or Instagram? I'm curous how many of you follow me on any of those?
Engagement on here is so low (I'm lucky if I reach 200 of you) I'm thinking of ceasing my blusky posts. But do follow me on other platforms if you've enjoyed the work! ♥️

A bit of a slowdown today - need another 250 signatures by 8am tomorrow to hit our daily #parkypetition100K target. If you’ve already signed grab a friend….or three! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

We now have more than 18000 followers on Bluesky. Thanks to everyone who has followed us here. It's a great place to be. ❤️

That's also more followers than we have on Facebook or Instagram. 👏
