This week’s main story is about Twitter. Or “X” if you’re a hall monitor. How it went from bad to worse under Elon Musk, how it’s impacting us all, and why there’s exactly one account there that we’re still fine with.

The Village Bookstore in Plettenberg Bay hosted Sandy James, one of the UNBRIDLING authors, for a book signing on 21 February.
We are excited to see the attention this book is receiving & can't wait for everyone to read it.
UNBRIDLING is a story of family, connections, determination & faith.

Our authors Sheryl and Sandy James organised a friendly launch in the Limpopo province with their community members, family and friends on Sat 7 Feb. They were expertly interviewed by @gailgil.bsky.social (author of CAT THERAPY).
The wonderful @gailgil.bsky.social went up to Limpopo to launch UNBRIDLING (@indeedbooks.bsky.social) with the two authors - remarkable athlete Sheryl James and her Momager Sandy James - last weekend, and judging by the photographs, it was a heart-warming event.
