FYI the UK is still on summer time, you're right that 1pm Eastern is 6pm UK time but GMT is not currently the right code for it, it's BST.
(it's unlikely anyone will get confused)

Screencap of Discord. Bain & Chiad posts: Why do I have to work when I just wanna read Seaborn all day? Distressed emoji. Six finger reactions pointing up in agreement.

@michaellivingston.com @livingstans.com Thought Professor Livingston might be interested in this piece.

Coates is Odd This Day @oddthisday.bsky.social · 19d

It’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day, so here are some things you didn’t* know about pirates (*unless you already did), and which I didn’t know until I read my niece’s Masters dissertation a while back. Firstly – remarkably – pirate ships were democracies with a pretty flat management structure

Just finished @michaellivingston.com's #Seaborn book! During my last schizoaffective episode, I lost the joy of reading. I usually rely on YA to get me back into reading after episodes, but this is perfect too! It's paced well to get you motivated to read, and it's an easy read to build confidence.

Look, your head canon is your head canon … but in this humble author’s view, Kermit is *NOT* the Bone Pirate.

The text at the top says, "you like to chat about books"

Cozy vibes from Emma on Discord, “I'm reading Seaborn by @michaellivingston.com in bed with cats! Cup of tea just out of shot but these things all add up to my little piece of heaven.”
#BookSky #Livingstans

Seaborn and two black cats are snuggled up on a cozy purple blanket. A shelf of books that appear to be The Wheel of Time are visible in the background.

@knucklesmustache.bsky.social Everyone is reading at their own pace. But a group of us may have agreed to read (or reread) a chapter a day and… it’s a struggle. 😂
