The inimitable Sarah Millican @sarahmillican.bsky.social started #JoinIn long ago (on that other social media platform we don't mention anymore) and it has spread to Bluesky. After years of dedication, Sarah passed the baton to the rest of us to keep this mutual Xmas support going. Thank you, Sarah!
This Christmas Day join us for #JoinIn on Bluesky. Just use or look for the #JoinIn hashtag. Lovely people coming together for chat and cheer - especially for those who may be alone or troubled at Christmas, or just looking for a bit of fellowship. See you there!
Please share
Maybe wise words!
Perfect, thank you
Just launched a totally new freelance service: one-on-one support for #Disabled writers seeking support on navigating traditional publishing for the very first time who don't already have at least one traditionally published book: www.rosemaryrichings.com/disabledwrit...
Repealing the two-child limit in full is the most powerful policy lever the Government can pull to drive down child poverty rates.

Could Katie Lam identify the London schools where "more than three-quarters of children don’t speak English to a serviceable school standard". Well done to @davehillonlondon.bsky.social for giving Lam + CPS the chance to substantiate this claim at the Tory fringe

Oh a small treat? Once a week? As society burns down around them? Good heavens where are my pearls
I wouldn’t let you get banned
No, it’s pretty crappy
Yes, that must be very hard. Tom has never been mentally unwell or had a neurodivergent diagnosis but when he was physically seriously unwell we really didn’t cope with me needing to look after him and me needing looking after at the same time. It got very tricky
Correct. Going north-south is nearly impossible. The best I can do is a very slow bus from Carmarthen to Aberystwyth, but I’d have to take the train to Carmarthen first. Once at Aberystwyth you can travel onwards quite easily
Its pointless encouraging people to drive less when public transport is so infrequent and unreliable
Plus every Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the moment there are scheduled engineering works so rail replacement buses. I strenuously avoid going in on a Friday. I so miss TfL!
He had a year without work but that was more because I couldn’t find a contract. He’s happier when occupied
He drives. Less stressful. The trains here are just awful, I sort of dread going to meetings in person because there are so many delays and cancellations. I’ve put in 5 compensation claims this month and I only took 7 trips
Good for him!
Oh brilliant. We’re not getting out much as we are both working FT and I’m going an extra day a week. Plus Tom is working for a council in England and is away Sunday lunchtime until Tuesday evening. Next week he has to be there Wednesday and Thursday too
It was good to see you, how’s Dave?
So early!
Hi Karen! You accidentally mistyped the hashtag so not sure if @magicalbeing.bsky.social saw you. Sorry things are tough right now #MadSkyChat
I just chose mine because he was the only one taking NHS patients, but he’s stopped his NHS work so I’ve had to become a private patient anyway #MadSkyChat
Oh god yeah it would definitely have to be with someone very well-trained, experienced and knowledge about things like risk of psychosis
If there were a general election held tomorrow, 39% of 18-24 year olds would vote @greenparty.org.uk

I’m ambivalent about my dentist but he is one of only 2 in town. Tom goes to one he really likes in the next town but it’s difficult to get to is like me you can’t drive #MadSkyChat
What time was that, Eva? I’m experiencing my yearly post-clock change amazement at how early the sun sets. 51 years old yet I’m always caught unawares
