It does feel like cricket chat just doesn’t happen here (or any of the bearable social media platforms). Though perhaps just as well given how excruciating England’s performance has mostly been so far.

Yeah, seems like slim pickings. It’s one of the things I miss most from the less-bad old days of Twitter.

Tiptoeing back to BlueSky to see if cricket chat is a thing here or not (masochistically, given what happened in the first two tests and what we all fear/expect will happen in the current one). Anyone? Anyone?

I had to look it up and you are right! β€˜You have been warned.’

Haven’t thought about that phrase for decades! But making me smile to remember it today.

🀣 VERY well remembered! And yes they do, but they’re surprisingly good at not using them except for when they are over excited while playing.

Hello Bluesky, just dropping into your feed to tell you that we recently adopted two kittens and they’re the best thing to happen to us in years. Have some photos of Willow and Barley (sisters) to brighten up your timeline. You’re welcome.

It’s one year ago today that I lost my brilliant, brave, beautiful Mum. I first wrote this thread about grief and supporting a grieving person a year after we lost our dad. Reposting in memory of them both. Hope it helps someone today. ❀️

Thinking about whether it’s worse if it’s a real person (one of many), or if AI has developed the ability to simulate that kind of personality. Which one is marginally less bleak… πŸ€”

Just been doing the same and you could be right. It’s so exceptionally weird.

Surely, *surely* this one of Rhodri’s in particular is a bot though. Nobody speaks like that irl, right? (Do they??)

honestly the best marketing scheme in history is men successfully getting away with calling women the "more emotional" gender for like, EONS, because they've successfully rebranded anger as Not An Emotion

Just floated out of seeing ABBA Voyage on a cloud of pure euphoria and now getting to catch up all about the Trump-Musk implosion, could my night GET any better?

The aesthetics of accessibility: design for disability that’s dynamic not dreary Architecture is at a fertile inflection point. But while housebuilding goals, sustainability and retrofitting are dominating the agenda, why does accessibility too often remain an afterthought?

β€œContrary to what you would expect, I do not want a simple house. I want a complex house, because the house will define my world.” -lovely piece about designing homes for disability in this weekend's @ftweekend.com:

Thank you. This is one of the most fascinating, eye-opening and life-affirming articles I have read in a long time.

Magnificent, yet passed over, targeted, fined – family carers are the hidden face of the care crisis | John Harris Britain’s army of unpaid support has been excluded from the political conversation. I didn’t expect to find recognition and hope in a book by a party leader, writes Guardian columnist John Harris

So I don't have the energy to redo the entire thread about the papal conclave but I will redo the part about the Latin nerdery: the announcement of a new pope is always in Latin, and uses a very traditional form.

Really struggling to think of a worse idea than this one (and this is after waking up the news that Trump wants to reopen Alcatraz). I am grieving and I have zero desire to talk to an AI-generated version of the person I am missing.

It surprisingly does! Given, *flails arms*, Everything Right Now it feels very wholesome, but also the kids being mobsters thing is also much funnier than I ever thought it was when I was their age. They’re also endearingly non-perfect when it comes to dancing etc (and the tunes and catchy!).

🧡NOT BY ME, this is a post from someone who wants to remain anonymous but works extensively with trans people pre-transition. They were asked by someone β€œwhy do you think that’s so much [coverage of trans people] in the news at the moment?”

This was their response:

Aunt Lydia in the Handmaid's Tale says: β€œThere is more than one kind of freedom, freedom to and freedom from. In the days of anarchy, it was freedom to. Now you are being given freedom from.”

Where freedom from ends up is Gilead.

I want freedom to. Always and forever freedom to.
