Great work from @pippacrerar.bsky.social and @jessicaelgot.bsky.social

Letter of the day (in the Times)

The State of the Arts: one year on | Campaign for the Arts Five charts that tell us something about the health of the arts in the UK in 2025.

The new #StateOfTheArts report from
@campaignforthearts.org
shows deepening inequalities in arts access.

At Create, we saw during #CreateWeek just how powerful creativity can be - and how vital it is to make it available to everyone.

My summer was complete with Series 16. Been with Ed from the first episode, first series, makes me hoot as well as snort cynically. Congratulations on 20 years and 100 episodes.

Am glad @mrjamesob.bsky.social gets a break, but have to switch off after 10mins of stand-in today. Seriously: this inflammatory, hate-inciting and un-fact-checked misinformation is spreading the hate and division. Irresponsible booking/broadcasting to get listeners?

Any or all of them will delight in our house, missing more Rowson @theguardian.com but then the editor has trashed everything valuable about it over the past few years.

Having grown up with @theguardian.com & Observer, disappointed to read about sale and strikes in @privateeyenews.bsky.social and i Paper. Credit to @gonuj.org last week and letters today. If sub came out of my account, it would have been cancelled when Steve Bell was sacked.

This has got to be a good space, with @martinrowson.bsky.social and the #DrawChallenge - without the toxicity.

Pleased to be in a new space, looking forward to exploring.
