Dec 3 marked exactly a year since we added Bluesky to our research mentions tracking. We celebrated by sharing the items that got more traction here than on Twitter (as well as one example where people on Twitter are still battling misinformation.)

Joyce Carol Oates is trending.
Her most shared item we can track (so probably not most of her poetry unfortunately) is the wonderful tribute she penned for her late husband, research scientist Charlie Gross.

Oct 3: We celebrated #TeachersDay via a thread that covered Richard Burton, why Shakespeare is actually good, and I saluted a former teacher. Remarkably one of our followers had the same teacher at a different school!

Oct 5th is Teachers Day
In April 2025 the film Mr Burton introduced a new generation to the origin story of one of the greatest Welsh actors, Richard Jenkins, later Burton.
The film actually deals with a lot more. Here are some strands to pull at.
