@savidgereads.bsky.social my 3*review of Tell Me Everything: I almost didn’t finish this, it’s so slow! It felt like a very protracted Thursday Murder Club. It was well-written on the whole, but could have been a few chapters shorter. 🤣 I think I missed something!

@savidgereads.bsky.social re book hauls, I have to admit they do make me feel a bit uncomfortable. I think that’s down to me feeling guilty that I don’t support my local bookshop enough - I can’t afford to buy books every month. I might buy A book but not lots. Charity shops are a different matter!

I've just spoken to someone at M&S about my extreme disappointment in their decision to advertise on GBNews. The agent said they've had some people congratulating them. Don't be rude, but please let them know what you think 03330148555 @stopfundinghate.bsky.social

I’m getting lots of M&S ads on my FB timeline. I am posting #stopfundinghate and some other comments, which keep disappearing. Is that an algorithm thing or are they actively deleting comments?

UNISON general secretary Christina McAnea addressed the union's Women's Conference last weekend.
She had strong words for Labour, but also said ‘it’s not all doom or gloom’.

We're sharing this first on Bluesky as this is so much friendlier (and troll free, so far at least!) than any of the other platforms right now!
