I spent several hours with Gisele Pelicot in Paris last week
She is REMARKABLE
Her interview is powerful, emotional and…uplifting
She has a message of hope for survivors of sexual violence around the world - but also for all of us
Plus….she has found love ❤️
BBC iplayer from 6am tomorrow, & Sun

It was always the way really but as AI makes blander and blander pish that looks a bit like some bland pish you saw somewhere the trick is be yourself harder and louder than you ever have before. For instance, no one on Earth paints like me. Whether or not that's a good thing is a moot point.

So the Epstein scandal is about politics? Silly me for thinking it’s about the mass abuse of women and girls | Marina Hyde
Obsessing over individual players and political chaos leaves less time to focus on the misogyny. And that’s for the best, isn’t it guys, says Guardian columnist Marina Hyde

Bezos has killed the Washington Post's books pages. John Williams is a mensch, and a good and loyal friend, to me, to @backlisted.bsky.social and to anyone who loves literature and reading. Now more than ever, you know where not to buy your books, or anything else for that matter.
I'll say more before too long, but for now: Thanks to anyone who has ever read and supported the Post's books coverage.

OK, this is great. Everything works. Bonus points for respecting the original arrangement and lyric (e.g. 'Marilyn French'). It may be from a junket but it's hardly a trifle and significantly more enjoyable than a blancmange. 🥁 #Pulp #ABBA www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Wd1...

"An exceptional first novel.....restless, vital, poetic, often humorous. Keshed is original, difficult and revelatory. In it there are echoes of James Kelman and Hubert Selby Jr, but Hennigan's voice is entirely his own." - Alice Jolly, Times Literary Supplement.
