They seem to be able to get away with just not bothering. And, of course, there's the wheelchair obstacle course that is many pavements.

'It might be comforting to think of the Nobel committee as sensible grown-ups who are unlikely to accede to the demands of the man-baby in the White House.
However, the Oslo prize-givers do not have a great track record.'

I’m in Zambia, where I’m seeing first hand the impact of 20 years of partnership and friendship between our countries.

Scotland is proud to play our part in the world and support many life-saving development projects - showing the kind of country we can be on the world stage.

Thanks, I'd tried that. I've just had an email from Bluesky saying they're still working on this issue.

I have a sense of pride being a street photographer in a smaller city that's less mined than places like New York, but I have to admit I get jealous when I visit and see folks like this dripping style on the subway

My posts aren't showing up under 'Latest' when I click on hashtags in my posts. Bluesky told me yesterday that they knew about the issue and that it should now be resolved. In my experience it hasn't.

A minimal lavender #glow for this week’s #BlueskyArtShow. I am truly in love with this color

Dense tropical foliage illuminated in indigo, lavender, and magenta. Nearly all of the image is in extremely soft focus displaying a wash of gradients transitioning between the three colors. In the foreground is a single stem in sharp focus, leading the eye out of frame.
