OH dear

Roland Smith@rolandmcs.bsky.social

Christ alive, yet another long whine from Liz Truss on 'why it wasn't my fault'. This has now been going for four years. Four years. And it'll keep going until someone intervenes.

Hey gorgeous new followers! Thank you for the support. We are a small community led museum in a park in North London. We are outspoken about the things that matter to people who are homeless. We do a lot of community action work. And we find joy together and share it online. Have a great day ❤️

The End of the World. I’m so sorry USA but you have finally returned to your barbaric past and can no longer be considered the Land of the Free. Ruled by a Monster, robbing you blind. Thank God I never need to visit your continent again.

If I feel better in the morning (annoying cough, sneezing and headachy cold) I might go to watch the Ploughing championship in Ashbury. Standby for pics!!

The weather is perfect beautiful warm Autumn days sunshine in abundance. Daily walks and excellent healthy meals from mostly grown at home veggies. So how come I’ve got a stinking cold?

All hail to our local bookshop @bertsbooks.bsky.social

Much as we love bookshops, they need more than love to keep going. A bookshop can be the centre of a whole community. Bookshops support authors; organize events. A thriving bookshop teaches the next generation that literacy matters. So don't just love your bookshop: actually buy books there.

A big thank you to the team from Suntory, who recently swapped finance for paintbrushes, cleaning and donation sorting! Their volunteering day helped refresh our shared space at The Pilgrim Centre and made a real difference to everyone who uses it. We really appreciate your support!

A fabulous SP from Marcie. So many are suffering under this regime but far more children are suffering, either directly or indirectly, stripped of food & housing security, prevented from having a good education. Many have lost parents or are incarcerated with them! Join Marcie in her fight for kids!

Cheryl's Tribute to Dolly Parton Starter Pack #31 Dolly Parton was a relentless advocate for women and equality. Her generosity is seen through the Imagination Library, donating books and millions for good causes. Dolly was an absolute trailblazer and will be sorely missed. go.bsky.app/5smHfcP
