Have you heard of US painter Ida O'Keeffe? Her work was largely overshadowed by that of her much more known older sister Georgia.... #womensart

How in the mind-bending fuck do we live in a world where conservatives call 14-year-olds “women” when talking about their rapes but also call 40 year olds “girls” when talking about their achievements or successes?

People on the Left often complain about the BBC being too right wing, while people on the Right accuse it of left wing bias. Now, to me that says it must be fairly balanced.
And YES - I have a show on BBC Sounds. But this isn't about me, and I genuinely think it would be a tragedy to lose the BBC.

Discussing reading with @hipporebecca.bsky.social and it reminded me, I had a job where reading the last 3 pages of Mills and Boon novel was a regular activity. Some of my housebound readers were NOT up for sauce in their stories, so I had to check the tone of the final embrace.

Rest In Power
Mary Macgee, whose 1973 Supreme Court Appeal overturned Ireland's unsafe & barbaric ban on contraception.
She started a revolution for Irish women & girls ✊ legalising the sale of contraception in 1985.
Thank you sister.

For the second time in a week, I'm reading a book where the writer gets a London station completely wrong. West Drayton is not Drayton Park, there is no Kensington tube station, and West Finchley does not have an escalator. Does no-one have access to even Wikipedia?! (Both authors are British.)

Why do libraries send out pick-up notices when the library is closed? Three books I reserved were available for collection just after lunch on the 24th, but the notification was sent at 7am this morning. What's the reasoning @southendonsea.bsky.social ? @essex.gov.uk - you also do this odd delay!

Just learned the difference between a croque monsieur and a croque madame is an egg and it’s named that because the egg looks like a ladies fancy hat. That’s when society worked, when we were all putting little hats on sandwiches.

Whilst I think this is a fine principle, can we leave places like Hobbycraft and craft shops generally out of this? For crafters making Christmas presents and cards, we need that lead-in time!
I hereby declare war on premature Christmassing.
Any shop caught doing this before 1st December must be shut down and turned into affordable housing.
Choose sanity. Vote Binface.

Like a reverse Trigger's broom, how many Tory defectors can Reform UK take on before it's just the same old failed Tory Party that the British people rejected at the ballot box, in a new colour?
Reform UK aren't anything new. They're just recycled Tories.

Looked up my fave book on a Slovak bookshop site, to see if it had been translated and whether I could buy it to help me learn Slovak quicker. They list the different formats AND WHICH LIBRARIES HAVE IT IN STOCK! I have never seen a bookshop do that!

I don't know why this has never occurred to me before but those weeks that Lidl does? Italian, Alpine, Eastern European? Well, in other countries, they have British and Irish weeks in their Lidl. Obviously there's no reason they shouldn't but I'd never considered it before. #TIL

I don't want to disagree with the Queen, but the banana bread recipe by Sophie Dahl is the best thing you can do with overripe bananas, every day of the week (and I love cheesecake!)
There’s more to overripe bananas than banana bread, much as I love it: #RecipeOfTheDay is Banoffee Cheesecake! www.nigella.com/recipes/bano...
Banoffee Cheesecake
I love the way a handful of mournfully overripe, positively unprepossessing bananas give rise to this vulgarly triumphant cha-cha-cha of a cheesecake. Well, it is a cheesecake, but the texture is not ...
