I'm delighted to announce I have been promoted from a junior to mid-level Narrative Designer at SI! 🤩

Coincidentally, my son also turns 10 today, so it's a double celebration in our house. 😊

In his heart, I've always been a pretty 'mid' narrative designer anyway. 😅

B2 or not B2? Some thoughts on the government’s latest announcement on immigration (and why the most striking bit isn’t the posturing about English):

Labour’s big blind spot in UK immigration policy

To make it seem tough on legal routes, the government introduces radical measures with uncertain effects

As a friend who was planning to go to the 2026 WC told me, "this settles it". He won't.

I need you all to appreciate this card I got for my mum after her full knee replacement

A photo of a greeting card sitting on a windowsill in a hospital room. There is a cartoon picture of a bone knee with a replacement joint, flanked by the text: "A-knee excuse for some time off! Get well soon"

My friend Ming Campbell had so many strengths. Olympian, statesman, party leader.

At St Andrews, where he was Chancellor for almost twenty years, he gave so much to generations of students. Wendy Chamberlain and I were proud to honour his legacy in the place he loved.

Here's a T. Rex bored to death trying to bite their own tail. My partner asked me to animate it in stop motion, after she watched a video about the very important topic of "could T. Rex chew its own tail like a dog". The puppet is still a work in progress 🦖

Daily bunny no.3108 will grow into a beautiful butterfly

A very small bunny munches on a leaf, like a bug or caterpillar. The leaf is the same size as the bunny, and the bunny is beneath a flower in someone's yard or garden. It is a warm autumn day

No1 rule of great political strategy: constantly talk about your strategy, the fact it is a strategy, and that you wouldn't be doing it if it wasn't your strategy. People love this.

I just need to get through this week, and then I think I'll be okay. It's been quite a stressful time at work as of late. I'm fortunate enough to have a therapist I can speak to if I need to.

I'm really sorry to hear you're past breaking point. I know it's not much, but I'm always happy to listen.

Labour’s immigration plan in full:

- raise the salience of small boats as much as possible
- make it harder and more expensive for people to come here legally and contribute
- ???
- solve the small boats issue to rapturous applause
- markets reward their ingenuity with return to growth

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Conservative criticism of Labour I absolutely did not give enough intellectual houseroom to pre-election was 'none of these guys have ever created a job'.

Bo Jacobs Strom @bojs.bsky.social · 18h

Headlines going to the English requirements but I'd completely missed this part of the plans, yet another act of idiotic self harm. Completely incompatible with the government's stated aims on housebuilding, growth, etc.
