Greetings from Walsall. I have just put the central heating on! 🥶

Derby in a local league. Quit mid 90s as couldn't get enough of us to continue 🤷🏽‍♀️

I played football in the early 90s when sadly women’s football was not taken seriously. We were proving ourselves in a male environment. To see the game come so far makes me so proud. Respect to #Lionesses for changing the game forever 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿❤️

He hath confess’d! Away with him! He’s a villain and a traitor.

Good riddance Boris Johnson.

🎉🙌🏽🎊

I gave a very short, very personal, speech for the New College of Florida Students, who organized their own Alt-Graduation Ceremony in defiance of the hostile takeover of their college and attack on their Academic Freedoms. www.SaveNewCollege.org

Sad about the loss of Martin Amis. He was, in person, warm, charming and generous. It was a life highlight to have met him and exchange stories about our families. Gone too soon. RIP

The remarkable @nataliehaynes.bsky.social has arrived. Far and away my favourite stand-up classicist and novelist. Probably she sits down for the novels. But also, stand-up. Follow her and help her flee the Other Place.

Brighton would have been worthy opponents to Man City tonight. Real Madrid is all over the place. #footballskeet

I mean, I am sometimes amused by how bad their arguments are. My usual response is just crazy gifs. They don't respond well.

I applaud them for pushing back against the bullies and bigots 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽We have to protect our right to read freely.

We’re 400 years in and the truthers still haven’t found a single real piece of evidence. Give it up! https://slate.com/culture/2023/05/shakespeare-woman-authorship-question-truthers.html Yes, Shakespeare wrote his own plays

Thanks Mona🎉

Thanks for the welcome. No gifs is a sad story😔

No gifs to reply with? Now that's a sad story. But it's so nice to be here and thanks! ☺️🎉

Presented by King Charles III. It was an amazing day 😊

To be also engaging with the big issues we face - justice, equity, representation, inclusion - with such care and compassion. The arts change lives. #fact

I feel SO lucky to experience the magic of theatre and storytelling at its most beautiful at the Royal Shakespeare Company. And renewed hope that telling difficult stories can make a difference to what’s broken in our world.

So grateful to @neilhimself.bsky.social for the invite code. I'm genuinely excited by this curated place of kind and interesting folk. I'm passionate about books, libraries, the importance of reading and building a better, fairer and more responsible world.

Hello Bluesky people 👋🏽 Let's check this out #newbie
