Given we are approaching that time of the year, my big piece from years back on the 1983 Cold War Crisis (and the role of Stanislav Petrov in it) is now over onto authory as a free-to-read. Over the years, the myth of what happened has been simplified. The reality was scarier. Because: Ronald Reagan. #history https://authory.com/JohnBull/ci/The-Day-the-World-Didnt-End

RE: https://mastodon.me.uk/@garius/116899578476163634 HE'S HOME!!!! 40 posters around the area. Probs 100 or so doors knocked on yesterday. A young girl had come to the door with her dad at one, when we'd knocked. She spotted him while coming home from a park. She and her friends alerted an adult who got the number off a nearby poster and rang us. He is now full of chicken and enjoying recovery hugs.

With immeasurable sadness I must announce that Napoleon, our best boy, went missing a few nights back. if you see a small black kitty with two white toes around Boundary/Markhouse roads in #walthamstow do DM me. if i post no photos of him anymore, this will be why. he was my very best boy 💔 we don't need tips on searching etc. we're doing what we can. but mostly just trying to process the likely loss now. i'm devestated, tbh. may be quiet for a bit.
