"Children would go ‘Shroving’ or ‘Lent-crocking’ on Shrove Tuesday, which meant knocking on their neighbours’ doors and singing:
We be come a-shroving,
For a piece of pancake,
Or a bite of bacon,
Or a little truckle of cheese
Of your own making."
How many of you are going shoving?😄 #Easter #shrove

Finished "The Unfinished" by Cheyl Isaacs. Great YA horror by an Indigenous author with themes of regret and vulnerability. The horror relies on atmosphere similar to the "Ring" movies & is very well done. Definitely recommend. 5 out of 5 ⭐️. 📚💙 #booksky #horrorbooks #Indigenousbooks

Hi Bluesky! 👋 I’m E.R. Keel. I write sapphic romance for people who love superheroes but wish the movies had more kissing.
My debut When Stars Fall is about an alien scout sent to judge humanity who gets distracted by a grumpy bookseller. 🍕✨

Sometimes when I see a very old book is out of print, I consider republishing it myself. Then I remember how much of a hassle printing my own book was!

What kind of system allows millions of documents of criminal activity to be ignored by the state, and no one prosecuted?

I often think about the book Never Let Me Go, which features a couple of really despicable villains cleverly presented in the plainest way possible.
