I've had it. I've told my artist they can finish this story by themselves. They've asked if I'm angry with them. I've told them they can draw their own conclusion.

I know a lot of folks like this account. But this is a wild, and unhelpful, exaggeration--it's a resistance version of sean spicer. It veers into #resistanceporn and trades accuracy for clout, like other "blue maga" grifters on here. Pls consider finding other sources of inspiration/news/motivation

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

ON TOP of the ethical reasons to not use AI, it's also 1) bad at what it does 2) literally makes you stupider 3) has HUGE environmental costs: every search is equivalent to pouring out an entire bottle of water. It's not worth it to generate a cutesy emoji or have it write an error-riddled draft.

Do I have a shelf groaning under the weight of titles waiting to be read and reviewed? Yes. Have I chosen to ignore them and download something else from #NetGalley? Also yes! 😂 #SpiritWarriors #KidlitUk #UKKidlit

It may be very small. It doesn't have lots of rooms or loads of space, but it's all mine. I'm very proud that I own, not only this tiny bookshop, but the building that houses it. It has come a long way, and I think that's something to be proud of this #IndependentBookshopWeek!

As predicted, the front pages of BBC & CNN are full of Israel-Iran. Nothing on Gaza or West Bank. Remember that all comms are cut in Gaza as they starve. Exactly what Netanyahu wanted. They can do anything they like now as the vapid MSM chase the new squirrel released for their distraction.

He asked you to shoot at people who weren’t shooting back,” growled Vimes, striding forward, “That makes him insane, wouldn’t you say?” “They are throwing stones, Sarge,” said Colon. “So? Stay out of range. They’ll get tired before we do. Terry Pratchett - Night Watch

Discworld QOTD, from Snuff “Cheery was aware that Commander Vimes didn't like the phrase 'The innocent have nothing to fear', believing the innocent had everything to fear, mostly from the guilty but in the longer term even more from those who say things like 'The innocent have nothing to fear'.”

This sort of prejudice against Irish is exhausting from The Economist. It's not the first time. The Irish language is no more or less "unfathomable" than French, Spanish, Italian, Arabic, Portuguese etc. All languages are "fathomable" when you take the effort to learn them. Cc @shashj.bsky.social

Genuinely, we may be headed toward - let’s say a lot of collective action. Giving your allies covid or becoming disabled by long covid is about the worst own-goal you can imagine. Please mask today.

Even before I heard the devastating, horrific news of political assassination in Minnesota, I woke up this morning thinking about Emily Dickinson's great poem "'Hope' is the thing with feathers -" Lots of people know this beautiful little poem, but fewer, I think(?) realize when it was written. /1

OK folks, really need your help. Trans Pride NI is getting zero funding, nothing from the council or Belfast Pride and if they don't hit £5k, it won't happen. They're over £2k now. Can we get this to target? Please share. Thank you ❤️🏳️‍⚧️

The assassin posed as law enforcement. As we can no longer tell the difference between civilians and law enforcement thanks to the ICE, I would expect the reforms to start regarding officers having to stop hiding their faces and clearly identify themselves. That won't happen but one can dream.

They aren't necessarily the books I'd read, too old for romances!. But this is a young friend who has started their own online bookshop, and as hopefully an ally, id encourage those who like their gothic stuff to have a wee look here! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 darkrosebooks.com

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.
