Meta has stolen 5 of my novels in three languages. It has stolen 19 - 19! - Of @joncg.bsky.social’s in several languages and 4 of @notrollergirl.bsky.social’s. That’s not even the tip of the iceberg. What about you? #bookthief #AI #meta

it turns out that putney bridge waterstones unexpectedly did us a solid. at half 5 we got an enormous delivery of seed corn - in the midst of unpacking the bags, twenty or thirty crows sauntered through the front door and began eyeing things up. but when they saw the scarecrows they hopped it pronto
has gone from bad to worse. all of these have arrived in the last 15 mins. finally got through to someone at waterstones putney bridge who pleaded complete ignorance of any scarecrow competition (but pretty sure i could hear the other booksellers giggling in the background)

Reading is a rich experience which is so completely part of my life. It connects us with knowledge, with feelings, with people, with the past, and with our own thoughts. Lovely article by @notrollergirl.bsky.social. I too am a big George Eliot fan! www.telegraph.co.uk/books/author...
How reading saved my life, and it can save yours too
Through the highs and lows of life, books have been my refuge, guide and faithful friends. Here are some titles to soothe your soul

I keep getting marketing emails offering me clothes ‘For total ski glamour’ or ‘your next red carpet event!!!’ and I’m so entranced by the persona they have invented for me that I don’t have the heart to delete them.

Just finished Pity Party by @notrollergirl.bsky.social as recommended by @laurapricewrites.bsky.social in her Substack. The perfect final read of the year: I laughed out so loud I woke my Boo up twice and the reflections on grief resonated deeply. Highly recommend it 📚

I’m nearly 40 years old and I still CANNOT feel relaxed or normal about standing beside my parents and singing ‘round yon vir-hir-gin’.

I really loved this - HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUSTIN!
I am 49 today (!) so I went back to visit seven of my previous selves to laugh at their hair and offer sage advice from the future that they would certainly ignore.
The truth about 49
Just a number, apparently.

Have there been any truly great recent innovations in the field of beige foods and picky bits? I love bao buns, I do not love bao buns that I have to microwave myself. I tried ‘sesame duck toast’ and to that I say ABSOLUTELY NOT. Could they do more with halloumi?
