Just finished Your story matters by @nikeshshukla.bsky.social Enjoyed the sage advice delivered with humour, but maybe the nicknames even more.

Like the resistance starter packs are mostly white. The popular pods and newsletters? Mostly white.

Heaven forbid you give money to Black and brown independent journalists or activists because they might ask you to get involved at a level beyond “share this dumb meme of Elon and Trump kissing.”

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

Signed, a librarian.

I’ve seen a few posts recently arguing whether audiobooks count as reading. For me, the important thing is people are able to access books in the way that best suits them, be it ebooks, audiobooks or physical books. Some people don’t get that access at all and we that do are the lucky ones.

Paige Thomas, 19, from Elton, has an innate talent for using food to regulate uncomfortable emotions – as opposed to actually feeling them.

“It’s absolutely foolproof,” Thomas told us proudly. “To be honest, I don’t see what could go wrong.”

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

Just incredibly bleak that when a Labour government is finally in power, disabled people still have to wake up to front pages calling them a blight on society.

Apropos of nothing, anybody who says that audiobooks aren’t “real” reading or that people who use them aren’t “real” readers can kiss both my ass and my royalty statement.
