Her second novel was a betseller when she was 14. In December 1939, aged 25, she disappeared. She has never been found. #CelebratingWomen

Β£500, one single, no plan. Thatβs how @damagedgoodsrecs.bsky.social started in 1988.
Steven met Ian Ballard in Broadstairs to talk 38 years of punk, releasing the Manicsβ first EP, the brutal economics of vinyl, and why failing is basically the job description.
WHY does this keep happening to our Home Secretaries? Is there some secret initiation process that turns them into fascist monsters??

My husband @mjowen174.bsky.social is very down and itβs difficult to see.
He had a thriving writing business until AI came along but now heβs struggling to find work.
Please repost this far and wide in the hope that he can find some writing work.

It seems to me that they are very afraid. Not necessarily because they disagree politically, but they sense their power slipping away...

Bay of Pigs cosplay and My Lai re-enactment in less than a week.
It's exhausting.
Something that struck me after the @greenparty.org.uk win in Manchester:
Reform could *never* mobilise a grassroots campaign like that. Their voters don't care enough. They mostly vote the way the media tells them.
But a grassroots, boots-on-the-ground campaign beats the media.
This is how we win πͺ
