Okay, a rollercoaster first morning and definitely *not* what I thought I was signing up for, but I think I got this. Going to sign out my socials and go have an early lunch

In a week when I had an event cancelled because the bookshop had sold "around [a non-round number] of tickets" this is quite satisfying.

Look, my natural instinct is always to self-deprecate to the point of sabotage ("By popular demand: for one night only") but I'm really excited to hear @benpester.bsky.social talking about The Expansion Project, deservedly shortlisted for the Goldsmiths prize, and think this might genuinely be fun.

Live in Lincoln? Like books? Have plans on Saturday October 25th? If you answered "Yes", "Some" and "Not yet" then do come along to this at @waterstones.bsky.social Lincoln. I'll be giddy from a three-hour solo train trip and positively bursting with insights, gossip and maledictions for my enemies

Saturday's march was a broad church. You had proud, 1930s-style racists who call themselves racists and 1940s-present-style racists who don't like it if you call them racists. Truly it encompassed a spectrum of beliefs

Heartbreaking. Jon is the first person I met in Crystal Palace - we discussed David Gates. I've known him for ten years and never once saw his legs. He was like a creature from Greek myth: half-man, half-counter. Very hard to imagine this community without him.

Some exciting (to me) post. Featuring very kind words from Louisa Hall and @bcdreyer.social. Totally okay to judge this one by its cover IMO. Out in the US at the start of December.

Finally understand people who match their socks to their shoes. Just enormously satisfying. (The book so far is terrific and the exhibition depressed the hell out of me; also terrific.)

I know you're not supposed to look at this stuff, let alone care about it, and I know it won't look like this for long, but I don't know any of these people, and it's been a rough week, so right now I'm allowing myself a moment's excitement and satisfaction.

I could live to a thousand, grow toenails that curl back on themselves like @ keys, but nothing will ever make me feel older than discovering current Premier League footballers "grew up idolising" Callum Hudson-Odoi

Look, I get it, but can we also have an Uptight screening for people like me who are furious if you check your phone during the trailers or discuss the film in the lobby afterwards in earshot of other viewers?
