New on Blue sky really into Music (Punk, Ska & Mod (it's what I grew up with and a dash of Leonard Cohen & Tom Waits).), Rugby (Aberafan RFC) and Football (Cardiff City with a huge soft spot for Liverpool).
I'll normally follow back asap.

Proof your public library loves you: they leave you alone while you read, they don’t mind when you bring your kids over, and they’ll let you borrow any of their books, even the hardcovers

The #Geminids meteor shower is currently active. Rates will be low for now but start to pick up every day. In about a week you could see 5-10 per hour. The best nights to see them are 12-13, 13-14 and 14-15 December. The bright Moon will reduce the numbers visible this year though. #Astronomy

I'm in full support of the Guardian/Observer journos striking today for the future of The Observer, threatened by The Scott Trust’s plan to sell to Tortoise Media. No logic behind the decision, while The Observer risks becoming a stripped-down website

Today is the Observer’s 233rd birthday. And the first of 4 strike days. I grew up in South Wales in the shadow of the miners’ strike. Extraordinary to be joining a picket line outside what I believed was my liberal progressive news org all these years later.
We’re so grateful for your support & ✊

What kind of sick thrill comes from killing a defenseless fox? This is not sport, it’s a shameful stain on humanity. Time to stand up for what's right—demand an END to fox hunting NOW!
