Listening to these amazing people speaking powerfully and with deep experience about people's movements and libraries as safe spaces for local communities. Hadn't realised the extent of antipathy against public libraries in the US, but do now, thanks to @edrabinski.bsky.social

I didn't know what a renga was before this beautiful, meditative dialogue between two poets arrived in my inbox. And now I can't wait to discover more, though these poems are set in Paris in grief time, so yes, there's the weight of that too.

A new book from an author after a gap of several years is always cause for celebration. This one has a really cool cover, don't you think? Mental health preoccupations in a social media age, that's what the novel grapples with. #WestlandBooks

The best part of visiting family in Bengaluru is frequent encounters with hungry-for-food-and-attention Podi. Chutney rarely appears, preferring to snuggle in wardrobes. And then there's Zara, on the lookout for faces to lick and birds to chase. #catsanddogs #catnames
