The latest book by @dranniegray.bsky.social I can’t recommend enough. I was sent on a shopping trip through historic high streets & loved every minute.

I really like the design and layout of this site, particularly easy access to the subsets: popular with friends, BookSky etc.

A reminder that when Boris Johnson was Mayor of London, he refused to come back from his holidays to deal with the London riots even as the city burned...

As Prime Minister, he seemed to be permanently on holiday.

This'll do for me.
I've found engagement here pretty much the same as Twitter, with 15x less followers. And almost zero fucking weirdos.
