I will be playing Pokemon Fire Red tonight and I've (nearly) never been so excited! I remember the sheer anticipation of playing Pokemon Red for the first time; my brother and I pored over the official Pokemon guide of that game for months before we actually got to play it #Pokemon30

Haha 🤣 well I heard the second one is very queer but wasn’t sure if that also applies to the first! Either way it sounds like my kind of thing so I’m sure I’ll love it ☺️

It arrived! SO looking forward to reading this one by @thomasdlee.bsky.social, it’s Arthurian and modern and (I hear) a little bit queer 🥰 Going to see if I can get my Arthurian book club to do a read along (if I can wait that long!) #bookmail #booksky #KingArthur #PerilousTimes

Something the Government want you to forget...

There's also a £10k reader participation prize up for grabs which will be awarded to the person who interacts with submissions the most meaningfully 👀 #LibraroPrize2026 #competition #writingcommunity #writesky #readersky #indieauthor

The Libraro competition is live! If you fancy reading an extract from my first novel (and offering me your support) you can do so here. It’s a dystopian near-future take on the legend of King Arthur (in high school) ☺️ #LibraroPrize2026 #WritingCommunity #writesky #indieauthor #KingArthur 📚💙

I am intrigued 👀

Nope nopety nope nope nope 🤮

also ‘great’ and ‘watchable’ yeah right

Oh definitely. The variation is what keeps the legends fresh. As long as a book has Lancelot in it I’m happy

How dare you! 🤣 Though my Camelot will probably end up being in York when I finally get around to writing it, so I won’t hold it against you

And just found out about your other one; bought that too ☺️

I literally just preordered this! The cover is beautiful! Major Arthurian fan here so I can’t wait to read it! 🥰

You want people to have more children? Pay them properly for it. Provide adequate childcare. Allow people to bring their babies into the office. Reduce working hours so we have more time to spend on family. Allow people to retire earlier and more comfortably. Revive the village. Oh, and fuck off.

And let's not forget the added complication of AI, which I'm sure will be used in conjunction with said glasses to undress women and others in public in real-time (probably live-streamed or recorded)

Also will cause a problem for actual glasses wearers once these things are indistinguishable from the real thing. And who do you think it's going to be weaponised against most? Women.

We're going to have to collectively make it just socially unacceptable to wear these. Make it a real loser thing to do. Refuse to serve or interact with people wearing them. Actively go make them stand in the loser corner. Point and laugh at them for having it on their face.

More than 60 children infected in north London measles outbreak Cases reported in seven schools and a nursery in Enfield amid concern over low levels of MMR vaccination in capital

Make the MMR vaccine mandatory. If people are going to be idiots, treat them as such. Vaccines are about protecting each other

Athrwys ap Meurig – the “real” King Arthur There are a few candidates for the “real” King Arthur, and I recently discovered that my ancestor, Athrwys ap Meurig, is one of them. I’m related to Athrwys ap Meurig through my 7th great-grandmoth…

Finally found the time to put something on the old blog 🙃 #heraldry #FamilyHistory #KingArthur #Arthurian #WelshHistory

Cartoon. Person says to other person „We invented a robot that answers questions.“, adding, „we just have to feed it 10 baby giraffes a day“.

Novel has been submitted to the Bath Novel Award 2026! I said 2026 was going to be the year of submissions and taking chances 😅 Wish me luck! #writingcommunity #bathnovelaward #indeauthor #TheFutureKing #ArthurianLiterature #dystopian #selfpub

Pam Bondi just laughed when asked if she would apologize to Epstein Survivors.

Israel used weapons in Gaza that made thousands of Palestinians evaporate US-made thermal weapons burning at 3,500C caused 2,842 people to "evaporate" in Gaza, Al Jazeera investigation finds.

"Vasily Fatigarov, a Russian military expert, explained that thermobaric weapons do not just kill; they obliterate matter. Unlike conventional explosives, these weapons disperse a cloud of fuel that ignites to create an enormous fireball and a vacuum effect."
