BIG Up Kate Bush and the other musicians who stepped up like this. I was surprised at the amount of creatives who didn’t realise that this affects ALL OF US!

Word of the day, for the umpteenth time, is ‘apricate’, the sister of ‘apricity’. It means to bask in the warmth of the sun, especially on a chilly day.

Now THIS is the kind of book I'd like to be able to write. It's beautifully raw, real, and relatable. It's also brimming with hope and I felt that with my whole heart. I think we all need that. Thank you @alisonespach.bsky.social for writing The Wedding People 🙏🏻✨ 5/5

Children's books are not a luxury. Libraries & librarians are not a luxury. The teachers who work so hard to inspire kids to read are not a luxury. If you cut or undermine or lose these things – #literacy will cease to be a basic human right, and will become a luxury, available only to a few.

It was so much fun helping @oxfordchildrens.bsky.social announce the Oxford Children’s Word of the year at an assembly in Banbury today - and what an amazing word it was too. I think we need to take inspiration from the kids and all have a bit more kindness in our lives.
