Some of the non-book things I love are my late wonderful aged dog, my harmonicas, my young handsome dog, my awesome musician son, my art, my piano, my handsome husband, my guitars.
Wonderful book post today. Telenovela- Gonzalo C. Garcia from @galleybeggars.bsky.social (you should all subscribe as Book Buddies) and a proof copy of Freezing Point - Anders Bodelsen. Thank you, @faberbooks.bsky.social

Absolutely this
Collective anxiety feels like a tide lately one ripple and suddenly we’re all swaying. I’m trying to stay grounded, breathe, and help the people around me steady themselves too. We can’t stop the waves, but we can keep each other from getting swept out.

Ah, thank you so much to @penguinrandomhouse.bsky.social @jonathancape.bsky.social for this copy of Jeanette Winterson’s One Aladdin Two Lamps. I expect this to be great. (See what I did there?)

I had to replace my 35 year old Magimix with this beauty. There’s a chance the thirty year guarantee will outlive me.

Remember that bedtime prayer children were taught? I’m an atheist but here’s my version.
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray the lord my soul to take.
If I should die before I wake
Hallef*ckinglujah.

I pray the lord my soul to take.

I’m too f*cking scared to walk alone in the country of my birth. Flags everywhere, c*nts empowered. The lack of calling out the lies of the bigots and racists by the mainstream media, especially the BBC, is to blame. I am sick of everything.

Jeez. Does this not scream “Whites Only” and “No Coloureds”?
Local green grocer I will no longer be visiting. They posted a video of this with the national anthem playing. 🙄

Just over 2,000 more signatures needed to get us to 10k. Help us get there. Anyone you know who wants fair coverage, pass them this way to sign. Democracy matters and our broadcasters need to report on ALL parties! They’re currently failing us. Here’s the link. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Yet more over platforming of REFORM on tv & radio this morning. It’s become a daily party political broadcast. You’re meant to assume Farage is now a PM in waiting. Tell our broadcasters it’s WE the voters who decide elections & WE want to hear from ALL parties petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...
Petition: Ensure plurality of political coverage across UK broadcast media at all times
We want to ensure that a plurality of views from all political parties in Westminster are represented and the nations parliaments are heard all year round, not just election times. The rules for cover...
