I hesitate to overshare but am hoping to crowdsource a strategy. My eldest has profound SEN & severe deteriorating MH, is a danger to self & others leading to numerous police, ambulance & fire call-outs in recent months. But FUCK ALL happens despite multiple referrals to social services. >>

Do we know if there's going to be an audio version @ljtrafford.bsky.social ? Oh and is Rex in audio? I have a box set of Dalrymples and a meaty Frankopan to get through in paper form first!

This trailer is very funny to me - as far as I can tell it's an authentically bad 1980s fantasy film, like "what if Excalibur had none of its redeeming features", but the cast keeps throwing up surprises: www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AJz...

Took my 10-year-old to an airshow. She took these pictures after putting her fingerprints all over the lens and then losing the cap.

Couldn't listen to more than half an hour of the Neil Gaiman stuff. Regardless of the allegations, the stuff he admits to is unacceptable in my book.

For Disability Pride Month I’m once again begging for more artists to start considering accessibility and add alt text to your images. It helps low/no vision folks, neurodivergent folks, and more. Plus alt text shows up in searches! There’s a toggle in settings so you won’t forget. 👇

Stop right there! I have to challenge this rampant herpetophobia. It's always the snake's fault isn't it? Cleopatra, Hercules and his twin, Adam and Eve, Samuel L Jackson: all blame the snake. Shame on you for being part of the pro-leg lobby.
