I will never forget the photo of Zelenskyy’s face after he saw Russia’s war crimes in Bucha in 2022. He seemed to age years in an afternoon. Watching him constantly cross the world asking for aid that should have been thrown at him is one of the deepest shames of our age.

I’m not religious. But I’m all for people like this speaking truth to power rather than blindly seeking to be the power. Brava Bishop Mariann, you good egg.
Thank you Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Assuming all fanfiction is written poorly really just shows you've never been caught in the chokehold of a 150k slowburn that changed the course of your life at 2:40am written by someone whose username has 4 Zs in it and they only wrote one fic and then vanished like an ethereal legend.

Thinking about starting a starter pack for Writers Who Are Sulking About Not Being In A Starter Pack. Current number of people in it: me, sulking.

Goodreads is owned by Jeff Bezos. A better alternative is StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform. And before y’all start, you can transfer all your Goodreads data to Storygraph so you literally have no excuse.

Anyone else utterly unable to get on with audiobooks? I love a podcast when I’m having to do something I don’t want to (like exercise or housework) but audiobooks just won’t “go in” like they do…is it a neurospicy thing or just a me thing?!
How do you like to read? Paperback, Hardback, Ebook, Audiobook? And... Go!

Okay FINE here is a photo of my dog, who thinks I am her personal mattress when she’s not guarding her driveway from delivery people, cats and errant leafs. Evie, barker, sulker, lover of schmackos.

And you can borrow audiobooks from most libraries too I think, and ebooks! No need for those nasty thieving download free websites…
Did you know that in the UK & Ireland authors get a small stipend each time their books are borrowed from a public library?
The PLR scheme is a godsend to many authors.

Public Libraries can be wonderful places where children and adults can find books that they can see themselves reflected in, no matter who they are, and books that can introduce them to entire other lived experiences. Both are so valuable!

This would be one of those occasions where desperation to touch something (okay, boop something) I am not supposed to could result in ABH to myself. Would be worth it though.
Hope you're all enjoying your weekend - the wolves sure are! 😊
