Bruce Springsteen@brucespringsteen.net · 7mo agoI wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free
Admin/writing day today and I have to write an article by the beginning of Jan, but I’m away 2 weeks of Christmas and New Year so must crack on. So obviously procrastinated wildly for an hour before starting anything useful. Opened a blank document copied 1/2

Fab little bike ride along the Transpennine Trail today …
Trainline, Transpennine Express and passenger assist fails have been my main news this week. Why do our railways still live in the 1800s?? 🚂 ♿️ 🤷🏼♀️

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities. That means: 🚫 No gas from corporate giants 🚫 No fast food chains 🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)
As a wheelchair user, I’m not sure how I feel about the terminology used in the UAE to describe disabled people. It sounds like an attempt to be really positive and welcoming, but at the same time I feel somewhat patronised by it. What do others think??

Fuelling up with a rather splendid hotel breakfast before supporting the daughter at @britwheelbball.bsky.social women’s league in Loughborough all weekend. So glad just to be here as a parent supporter and not coaching/running a team this season.
