Best evening listening to @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social at Buxton and then getting a book signed and a photo with this absolute legend. Wish I’d had a “tissues needed” warning for the first half though as I wept copiously as he spoke about Eddie.

Current hard copy “to read” list. With many more on kindle and several I need to pop to @scarthinbooks.bsky.social to purchase for podcasts in the next few weeks. Which of these have you read? Any you’d recommend? They’ll all get read I’m just wondering which order to go in…

This arrived in the post today. With no note. I’m hoping it’s a publisher/publicist wanting me to review it for the podcast rather than someone dropping hints that I desperately need it…

Brilliant evening at the launch party for Dr. Ahmed Handy’s book Quacks which is officially published next week. It’s a great book and we had a fabulous evening celebrating it and my lovely friend the author.

Absolutely loving “Maybe I’m Amazed” by @johnharris1969.bsky.social I’m especially loving the concept of “monotropic SuperDrive” though also welling up with tears of recognition of the fears and uncertainty that go with parenting an autistic child. Absolutely would recommend & would love to discuss

What are you reading this bank holiday weekend? Would you recommend it? Why? I’m reading “Playing Big” by Tara Mohr. I’ll recording an episode about it next week. I wasn’t sure to start but now my copy is littered with sticky notes and I’ve got so much to explore in the podcast.

Well worth a listen, joyful chat on @bedsidereading.bsky.social this week @holliemcnish.bsky.social on gender norms, calling out everyday sexism & teenage power dynamics!

Great discussion of a fabulous poem @holliemcnish.bsky.social ‘Arguing in the Headmaster’s office.’ Made me think about how we can be sexist when we have conversations around how we dress. We need to change this and ensure our ‘judgement’ is equitable… Thankyou as ever @bedsidereading.bsky.social
