I’ve been playing about with creating new feeds this week.

This one should show gig pictures (as long as someone uses the word gig in their post).
Have a try and pin it if you think it might be of interest, the more feed options the better I’m finding.

Yeah, somehow you’re on a naughty list.
But as you say, maybe ok once you’re back in the UK.

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 14h

I did find this thread the other night, so it’s not just you Paul, there’s some error within the system.

And I’ve had at least one of my posts hidden (an AR Kane song with a dubious title).

🚨PSA: It’s not just hashtags. If hashtags aren’t showing up in feeds, then your account’s posts aren’t appearing in search results either. A bunch of us are affected and have reported it. Tagging @support.bsky.team @bsky.app @why.bsky.team @jay.bsky.team @rose.bsky.team @pfrazee.com for visibility ✨

You’re still not showing up in the hashtag chronological list ☹️

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 14h

Yep it is, but that’s the challenge.
90’s coming next month!

Take it that’s an even better camera you’ve bought him?

Can’t imagine David liking anything by Wings but he’s surprised me before 🤷‍♂️

Day 15 of #80sTop30
16. Twenty Four Hours - Joy Division
Closer
1980

My favourite song from Closer. It wasn’t till years later that I discovered the genius that was Joy Division, but have since devoured everything they did, and seeing Hooky playing the songs live was special.

Day 14 of #80sTop30
17. Maid Of Orleans - Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark
single
1982

Loved this at the time, sounded so different to other pop songs. From the initial drones to that incessant drumbeat. And a great synth melody of course.

That’s very kind, thanks Mark.
It’s out of the city centre, near the M60, although there is a tram link now I believe.

Yesterday I helped (mainly chauffeuring) my youngest set up a stall selling her artwork in an actual shop in the actual Trafford Centre, Manchester 🤩
It’s upstairs in Kenji for the next 2 weeks if anyone’s around there.
Or scan the QR code that’s on the stall and that has links to her Etsy shop.

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 1d

😮 ok I should get onto it 🎧

Peter L @peterlatimer6.bsky.social · 1d

Oh I didn’t know there was a 33 1/3 book on the album, may have to investigate.
It’s one of my favourite albums.

‘96% of healthcare professionals said the model helps to reduce children’s anxiety, and 46% reported a lesser need to use sedation after the children played with the set.‘

‘Lego doesn’t sell the sets and instead has donated more than 10,000 of the kits to hospitals around the world.’
