A total plonker - encourage young people to work by paying them a fair wage. It's not rocket science, or perhaps it is!
YOUNG PEOPLE. LISTEN UP.

...to “raise aspiration” and “boost business"

It's £10ph FFS!

Lower your pay so you’ll dream bigger

DO YOU SEE IT NOW?

Spread far & wide.

God forbid!
Kinda seems like you don’t do huge renovations on the place you’re living in unless you’re planning to stay. 🤷🏼

Now.... let me think of a comparison - oh yes, Trump's new ballroom!
Inside the Hermitage, the winter palace where Tsar Nicholas II and his family lived before they were executed—in a country where Russians were starving.

It's usually a pass for me if any book is described as such!
Semi-relatedly to my earlier thread on YA, if the marketing for a YA romantasy describes the book as "sexy," "spicy," or "steamy," it's a pass for me.

He is not welcome!
#Trump in case you were wondering who 'he' is!
Why didn’t anyone immediately follow up with “what’s the population of the United States?”

I don't know about you, but the news around the world is pretty awful these days. If I hadn't written Finding Serenissima, I'd be tempted to pick up a copy and escape to #Venice #Travel #Italy @australianbooks.bsky.social @bars.bsky.social @margieinitaly.bsky.social @womenover50travel.bsky.social

It seems Brazil has a stronger Supreme Court, more in tune with actual democracy, than the US.
Meanwhile in Brazil...

"Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years for plotting military coup in Brazil

Former president sought to ‘annihilate’ country’s democracy after losing 2022 election"

Sounds familiar 🤔

Cape Leeuwin in #WestAustralia one of the "three great capes" of the world named by English navigator Matthew Flinders after the first ship known to have sailed the waters. Pretty damn awesome to stand at the #lighthouse imagination soaring.
