Short thread:

If anyone is interested, I've just updated my old "Starting out on Twitter" Guide to "Starting out on Social Media".
It explains how to start, navigate and grow a social media account on any platform e.g. here.

DM me if interested. Please see about Starter Packs below.
Hi Peeps.

Over the last few days I've issued 7 starter packs, with personal recommendations for good accounts to follow.

You can see them on my profile.

I'll be adding more with extra accounts soon.

If you are new here, it's a quick way to find good people to follow!

"In fact, the first Thanksgiving in North America was held in what is now Nunavut 1578, by Sir Martin Frobisher and his crew. Admiral Sir Richard Collinson’s book, The Three Voyages of Martin Frobisher, notes that the celebration was documented in the ship’s logs."

#Thanksgiving
Yes America, there is another Thanksgiving, it lives next door
Was the first Thanksgiving in North America based on a myth or documented evidence, and which one was the first?

Interesting discussion on the budget today.

There are folks (me included) who get the idea that if I am a bit more affluent I can contribute a bit more for the common good, and others who believe "I should only pay for stuff that directly benefits me".

All is not well at Kent County Council (KCC). Reform UK, having taken charge at KCC...

...are now faced with exactly the same problems as their Conservative predecessors; funding social care, funding Special Educational Needs (SEN), and fixing potholes.
Are standards of civility falling at Reform Kent County Council?
