What a great piece of work by David Gaffney inspired by a long train journey and the hours before and after it. How many different minutes can you fit into an hour? I would really recommend getting this. And long live the Chuckle Brothers.
Well done for taking a stand

A new story by David Gaffney is always something to celebrate. Flight Paths, published by @nightjarpress.bsky.social, is one of his most intriguing – tautly edgy, deftly organised. nightjarpress.weebly.com/flight-paths.html

If your neighbourhood is infested with flags on lampposts, email your councillor and request that they be taken down. In some areas, they have done so; the more people who contact them, the better.
Alternatively, organise a small group, get a ladder and some cable tie cutters, and do it yourselves.
My instagram has become videos only! I’ve looked at settings but cant seem to change it - anyone else had this or know how to fix it?
