Signal boost, I’d really like to know the answer to this too.

"Did Salford really invent the two-day weekend, and what was the reason for the second rest day in the week?"

Hey, Brian got kicked out of the Carter Library by Trump and crew. If you’re in the area or can pre-order, show some love?

Today's GB News radio advertisers include *Marks & Spencer *All Clear Travel Insurance *Cheers Britannia *Agincare *Cashmere Circle *Kelly Tonight *Brit Bingo actionstorm.org/petitions/ma...

Ian Fleming's original James Bond novels haven't aged well. For example, Moonraker - published almost exactly 70 years ago in April 1955 - features a villain who's a super-rich industrialist and rocket-maker seeking to cause chaos because he's a secret Nazi. Such a silly idea!

Just stumbled across this from last year:

Selling this early “Choose Your Own Adventure” set on that eBay place. Roll a dice to start bidding www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12695643...

So. Those mad fish at @waterstones.bsky.social have only launched some crazy deal on pre-orders. Which means that if you enjoy (i) gritty crime fiction (ii) authors with two pseudonyms and (iii) ridonculous bargains it’s now 25% cheaper to satisfy your urges. www.waterstones.com/book/the-cut...

Dear men of the world, I wrote this because I know too many men who still think it’s weird to have conversations with each other about how we feel. It isn’t weird or weak, it is stronger and better to be open and talk. We are all going through something. www.wildway.info/p/how-garden...

How better to start the weekend than with some colourful, unabashed joy? Here's just a small selection of the Ophrys bee #orchids we'll be sharing with our guests on our popular Orchids of Rhodes tour in just a few weeks time.

If you want to fight fascism? Wear a mask. If you want to show solidarity with disabled people? Wear a mask. If you want to protect your own health? Wear a mask. If you recognize that no one is coming to save us? Wear a mask. My ultimate guide to respirators:

The most amazing thing I've ever read in relation to a bag of coffee beans. How could I not buy it immediately?

And part of the work of remembering is also acknowledging the work of other historians, archivists, librarians, etc, who’ve studied bibliocide (Ovenden, Battles, etc), endangered archives (Raad, Zaatari, etc), fugitive libraries, etc

@jearle.uk saw this and thought of you, camera that looks like a fancy motorbike somehow.

"Classic and patented Premee Mohamed touches of horror." oh yes oh yes oh yes!

SURPRISE I'M OPENING TO REVIEW REQUESTS EARLY. If you're an indie author looking for a review (self-pub included), give the policy a quick read through and send me a message! #booksky #bookblog

I'm still kind of freaked out, but in an effort to not have a stroke tonight, let's talk about less insane things. What are some movies that have made you cry? Interstellar gets me every damn time. The Patriot when his daughter finally talks to him. Green Mile - I'm tired, Boss.

Gotta stop letting folks tell you that criminals deserve bad treatment in this era when criminality has become "feeding the homeless" & "seeking trans healthcare". Soon it'll be "not reporting your neighbors". Yall better start liking criminals better than cops quick if we're gonna fight fascism.

If you live in CA, CT, IA, IL, KS, or ME you might have an election on Tuesday! And I made it really easy! I created a guide so you can be as informed as possible! I even included Maps so if you don’t know if you’re in that district, you can find out ariellaelm.substack.com/p/every-tues...

Git to write this down before it fades, I dreamt I was in a huge charity shop /warehouse having a sale event. The last thing I found was a jar. Someone’s beach treasures. It had white sand at the bottom, shells driftwood and as I tilted it I saw the drift wood was carved into shapes, tiny animals.

ALERT! KLAXON! MERMAID SHOUTING! INCOHERANT DEMONIC UTTERANCES! Tomorrow at 5PM I will be at the delightful Heath Bookshop in Birmingham. Would be a real treat to see you there X the-heath-bookshop.eventcube.io/events/70900...
