Planning often relieves anxiety and overwhelm. But it’s hard to plan when you're anxious and overwhelmed. So how do we get out of this mess?! 🧵1/7

It's 1811. You've been caught stealing some beans and you're dragged up in front of the magistrate's court. You want the Justice of the Peace to be fair, sympathetic, and focused on your case. You glance at his casebook and he's doodling the other officials.

Look at this gorgeous #map! From 1444. #LoveMaps
It seems fitting to begin our Bluesky saga with one of the most impressive documents in our collection: the Boarstall Cartulary!

This 1444 book contains a massive amount of information on Boarstall, like deeds, privileges, and also this delightful map!

For lovers of snow ❄️ I give you the greatest snow ball fight in history. In 1854 300 people including stock brokers went into snowy battle at Liverpool’s Exhange. The Liverpool Mercury reported “Hats flew away, By the force of the ball, From heads that were grey, Or with no hair at all”.

Refurbishing an old building is subject to full VAT, but it isn’t if you build a polluting new one. The government’s priorities are all wrong You can damn oil companies, abuse cars, insult nimbys, kill cows, befoul art galleries. But you must never, ever…

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂
