I wrote a sonnet about most of the people we had in mind.

I read the thread, you came straight out and admitted it was a rubbish take. I don't like all the dunking either, doesn't make for any kind of helpful or supportive discourse (why I left Twitter in the first place). Just wanted to offer a metaphorical hug!

I would second the angel makers, absolutely fascinating!

Thanks Sue, I left X ages ago, but have never quite managed to recreate the OT network I followed there!

Hi @giffgaffnetwork.bsky.social you have blocked our IP address, is it because my partner (and bill payer) has a Polish surname? Feels racist!

I'd like to give that comment a like, but it seems bad taste for a serious point well made!

I made my Polish partner watch Threads, apparently TV viewing in martial law controlled Poland was more fun in the 80s than what the BBC was serving up!
