Good night BlueSky, and remember: “Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.”

Good morning, Bluesky 🌞 Here’s a little reminder: You’ve got this. One breath, one step, one win at a time

Teal background with a white square in the middle. This is pinned by a red and yellow star, blue and yellow magic wand, light blue star and orange and white speech bubble graphic in each of the corners. Inside the white square, is a quote from a Make-A-Wish UK wish parent. They say: "She is noticeably more independent since her wish. She lost a lot of that independence when she went into hospital when she had no control over what happened to her. She wouldn’t even want to pick out her own clothes before, but now she’s ready to organise everybody and she’s getting back to her normal cheerful self. She really needed this to help change her perspective."

When a wish is granted, it can inspire the wish child to believe that anything is possible, helping restore some of the childhood that they missed out on because treatment for their condition interrupted school or typical family activities ✨

From left to right, Jacob’s dad, Sir Brian May, Jacob, his mum and younger brother, Lennon are stood smiling for a photo. Standing in a large living room with high ceilings, they’re in front of a large Christmas tree, decorated with tinsel, baubles and icy blue lights.

Sir Brian May and Jacob are stood in a large, carpeted living room. On the right, Jacob is playing a red guitar and concentrating on his finger positions on the strings, and he strums them. Sir Brian is stood on the left. He has both hands out gesturing towards Jacob and is smiling.

Throughout treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukaemia, Jacob has found a love for music.

We recently granted his wish to meet his inspiration for learning to play the guitar, Sir Brian May 🎸

Together, they chatted all things music, played guitar and even started songwriting 🎼

This is what we all should remember.

Remember that libraries are proof that not every goddamned thing needs to be “for profit.”
