The independent bookshops do so much to support authors and small indie presses, not to mention the contribution they make to their communities. Please support them if you can.

I know most of the bird life round here so I got excited when I heard an unfamiliar call from this tree. I set the Merlin bird app on it but that didn’t recognise it either. Scoured the tree methodology, imagining myself on the local news but of course, it was a squirrel

Every time you don't buy a book from Amazon, but use a good indie store who actually values the sale & treats you & your purchase with respect, the sun shines brighter, floofy puppies gambol in fresher grass, & Jeff Bezos's piles sting for just a biiiit longer. Sounds GREAT to me. Buy independent.

I need, I realize, to filter his utterances through transcripts. The very sound of his voice—profoundly smug, profoundly stupid—fills me with rage. (I knew this the first time around. I just forgot.)

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

I love this so much! At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions. This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

Happy PLR Day to everyone who celebrates! And readers, remember that not only do libraries give you access to a wide selection of books for free, the Government also pays authors a small sum for every time one of their books is borrowed from a public library... #ThisWritingLife

Public lending right day! My thanks to library users for all the support for my books. Great to know my three books are being borrowed and read (and hopefully enjoyed). It was the libraries that made me a reader, so I'm honoured to play some small part in keeping that going.

As wildfires destroy LA and UK floods devastate homes, the wealthiest 1% already used up their share of the carbon budget in the first ten days of 2025. Someone in the poorest 50% would take three years to produce the same pollution. Inequality is driving the climate crisis.

Always a delight to see something new from Adam. Super-nice guy and a great writer - wry, warm, funny but oozing with pathos in places. Advise getting this on the radar for later in the year, and if you've not read his debut Cold Fish Soup, rapid investigation is recommended.

Some cuteness to take away from the negativity in our feeds. I'm not a peace, love, happiness hippie type, but I didn't come here to see the same toxicity I used to see on Twitter. So here's cuteness overload in hopes that it makes at least one person smile.

Just seen more images of dead children - are we still selling weapons to Israel? A holocaust survivor once wrote of all those who said to them “we are sorry, we never knew” “I believed they never knew, but also that they had put in a great deal of effort to ensure they never knew”
