You already know...

Caroline!!! 😂

People who send plain text emails in this day and age.

Good grief.

Well, I just kinda missed the first season and never really thought to catch up.

It's remarkable. Loved it.

I can't believe I've never seen Happy Valley.

Then I watched episode 1 and just binged the whole thing.

Incredible.

No one:

Labour, Reform and the UK Media about the Greens:

Final weekend. One last push.

This is about whether you want local plumber Hannah Spencer or the extreme Reform candidate.

It's hope vs hate.

It's Greens vs Reform.

Hope can win.

I'll take it...

😒

Cheeky millennial bugger.

My boyfriend just called me Gen X and I'm raging.

Harsh but fair

120 people have had their say on the Cass Review. Have you? We asked how the Cass Review has affected real lives. The responses keep coming, and the pattern is clear.

@www.helenwebberley.com is collecting testimonies from people who have been affected by Cass. Have your say, and share this with anyone else who may have been affected.

I just made a pasta bake for dinner for my boyfriend, and he asked if we could give some to his flatmate, then he took one look at it and said, actually no, better not, he's Italian. 😳

Oooh, I can't wait to find out!

Hope it's lovely news for you.

I was kinda hoping to pop back in to say goodbye before the final episode, but I'm assuming they've already written it. I'm sad it's ending, I do love that show and everyone who works on it. Good people.

Oh I wish, but I've already returned from the dead in River City once, and when you've been resurected once there's not much more you can do...

(No, I'm not launching an OnlyFans, soz) 😬

2026 basically

I have some really big news coming that I can't wait to share...

But I can't say. 🤐

But in a few weeks time...

Welp, that's a nope from me.

Too mushy.

On that note the best brussels sprouts I've ever had were in a pop up restaurant I was working at, pan seared, then roasted, garnished with butter and popcorn - absolutely delicious.

Oh dear, wish me luck...

All of this in order to stop a handful of trans women from sitting in a room with cis women and knitting scenic toppers for postboxes, organising a fundraiser for a local charity, or baking a cake for the village fête.

I mean, I had to try them... Right?

I know I'm Scottish, therefore I love all things battered, and I'm fond of a brussels sprout, but even I am unsure about this...

Thank you so much! ♥️

Tips: moving from Xitter to Bsky Before you start following people, fill out your profile! Bio, PFP, banner, and post at least 5 to 10 things. Just reuse your top 10 banger tweets—recycling is encouraged! This way, people will know you aren’t a bot, will see what you are about, and might follow back. Turn off NSFW filters in Settings > Moderation > Enable Adult Contentand at the bottom on Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Mod Service Find your friends from the hellsite using Sky-Follower-Bridge.devNot perfect, but it will find the majority of the people you were following.Beware of fake tools that ask for money! Follow a few feeds related to your interests. In bsky you choose what kind of content you want to see. You can pin feeds (into tabs) to the top of your timeline, and you always have access to the Following feed which shows nothing but who you choose to follow. Block often. Don’t interact with trolls. Don’t quote dunk, comment, nothing. Let them rot in silence, take away their oxygen and they’ll asphixiate. This is the Bsky way. Turn off language filters in Settings > Languages > Content Languages Or you won’t see posts from anyone in Japan, Germany, etc, in your feeds, even if they only post a cool image with no text. Weird, but trust me on this one. Uncheck all to see all posts. Fuck content scrapers. Do not let that trash overwhelm this site, do not share their stolen content. You can block them all with two clicks by going to joabaldwin.com/scrapers and on the top-right clicking on Subscribe > Block Accounts (I know, “Subscribe” is an odd thing to name it, but that’s how block lists work). Use alt text to make images accessible. Helps for translations, readability, findability, and users with slow internet. Turn on Settings > Accessibility > Require alt text before posting It takes time to rebuild, but the best time to do it is right now. Use your last tweets to tell everyone to move, then stop posting. Twitter is a Nazi/AI/bot/crypto cesspit.

It's long past time to leave the Nazi bar, and you'll have a much better time here. I updated this guide due to the influx of users fleeing Grok's new AI bullshit. Share widely for all the newcomers!

I just spent £15 getting deliveroo to bring me Ferrero Rocher.

No regrets.

That's the one!
