Yes! It may be a while (2027 probably). I’m just putting the first chapter together and will probably put it on my blog when in full first draft… early in the New Year I hope. Have you read the first in the series? There are some second hand ones on Amazon now. amzn.eu/d/iu3HfNG

Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice eBook : Roberts Giuffre, Virginia: Amazon.co.uk: Kindle Store

This is the most distressing book I have ever read. But every adult in the US and UK needs to read it, especially men. Then we need to start lobbying our governments to expose the whole story. Including a US subpoena for Mr Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and his ex (?) wife.

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡

I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

At 185 mph maximum sustained winds, Cat 5 Hurricane #Melissa is now just 7 mph shy of what @michaelfwehner.bsky.social r.bsky.social & Jim Kossin have defined as the cutoff for a prospective "Cat 6" hurricane:

Your GP isn’t ignoring you; they’re overwhelmed

🚨Fewer doctors

Warming oceans probably fueling Hurricane Melissa’s rapid intensification Climate scientists have long warned that warming oceans are making such explosive storm development more common

‘The impact of climate change is putting lives at risk on islands and in coastal areas… With 90% of our extra heat going into our oceans, we’re seeing these oceans warm and they’re rising. And that plays out with sea level rise.’

The Coming Election Mayhem — The Atlantic Donald Trump’s plans to throw the 2026 midterms into chaos are already under way.

How Trump is planning to subvert the midterms.

Robert Reich What Trump’s Tyranny Is Revealing to America

The brutality. The corruption. The lies. Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/a01JFFB_aE4

Welcome to South Asia, where many languages have this. E.g. my māmā (maternal uncle in Bengali), can be my mother's brother or cousin. In the same way that cousins are also brothers/sisters (and you might hear "cousin-brother/sister" from South Asians when speaking in English).

What. A. Scandal.

And it’s already happening. When will we have unilateral agreement on climate change response? It feels like we are going backwards.

Farage: epic grifter

Politico: "MPs should consider deleting X, according to a committee led by Commons Speaker Lindsay Hoyle...

"On social media, the report said MPs should feel “empowered to step away from platforms that pose more harm than benefit.”

Absolutely. Please get on with it.

A must read for anyone who wants to understand behavior change as a part of climate action 👇

⭐ After quite some time in the making, I’m excited to share our new paper!🌿⭐

We examined people's climate-relevant behaviors (driving, air travel, public transport use, and meat consumption) and their perceptions of how feasible it would be to change them (+ expected wellbeing impacts).

Getting back to sleep: understanding biphasic normality Can some previously little-known information about our ancestors’ sleeping patterns help us to better understand modern insomnia?

For those whose sleep is negatively impacted by the seasonal changes of the clock - might biphasic sleeping be of any assistance? @drpam outlines evidence that suggests this might be a more natural way to sleep.

Reform UK, the climate and a just transition Net Zero is not about ‘virtue-signalling’ but a vitally important act to help protect the future of humanity

#NetZero is not virtue signalling, whatever the current Reform rhetoric suggests. From @northeastbylines.co.uk

Net zero – climate and business prosperity Why we should align with historical British and European protection standards not a Reform model

As Reform climbs in the polls, should we be paying more attention to its attitude to #NetZero? @northeastbylines.co.uk

? John Major was born in 1943!

I do blame QEII and Phil for a lot of what Andrew became. She was an exemplary Queen, but both were mediocre parents. The way Diana was brought into the situation by C & C should also be put under a much brighter spotlight now, including the parts older generations played.

I hear my mum’s voice in my head here: ‘when the docks were being bombed day & night for weeks, everything was crazy.’ They only got snatched sleep in air raid shelters then. She was one of the kids who was evacuated, then brought back just before the blitz. She lost her post-11 education to WWII.

Getting back to sleep: understanding biphasic normality Can some previously little-known information about our ancestors’ sleeping patterns help us to better understand modern insomnia?

Yes, the clock is just a reference for me now I’m retired from non-homebased work. I’m also a biphasic sleeper and now usually manage sleep the 7 hours I struggled to get when I was teaching uni. yorkshirebylines.co.uk/news/health/...

Iain Hollingshead: Whatever happened to Double Summer Time? Iain Hollingshead: Seventeen thousand people gathered around Stonehenge on Wednesday to mark the summer solstice, cheering and beating drums as the sun rose at 04.58 BST.

Of course our distant ancestors didn’t have to cope with any of this; their activities were seasonally determined by daylight around the year. Our more recent ancestors had more complex solutions.

That wouldn’t help people with winter depression, artificial light is not an effective replacement. Artificial lights that are designed to mimic sunlight as much as possible can help, but it’s not a complete replacement.

Overview - Seasonal affective disorder (SAD)

Yes, I remember that, I was in South London too. A bit grim getting up in the pitch dark and walking to school before it was fully light. I think it would pose great problems for people with winter depression (SAD).

Past time for eco: what net zero is, and why we need it A novelist imagines a near-future world that fails to meet net zero, exploring climate collapse, loss and hope through future generations

It’s 2033; climate change is progressing and world leaders are still arguing. 19 year old Dylan and his generation engage in angry, desperate, illegal protest. Their future looks grim… until a mysterious time traveller makes Dylan an intriguing offer. @yorkshirebylines.co.uk @bylinesnetwork.co.uk

How does he pay for it all? The mystery of Prince Andrew’s money The disgraced royal has lived in luxury for decades despite being an outcast and having no obvious means of financial support

So from this account, it seems once the government stopped paying senior royals a ‘wage’ those not satisfied with what ‘mummy’ allocated to them began using their status to seek cash for the provision of connections. And that some were to dim to spot when they were being compromised. 🫣
