Horror. A lizard invaded the bedroom. 😱

I don’t know why Jamaicans are terrified of lizards but I know why I am.

To keep my mum’s mind sharp, I have to come up with all kinds of things for her to do.

Draw. Walk. Now she’s listening to a story on YouTube. She loves it! (She loves to read #books.)

Character AI encouraged a young boy, Sewell, to commit suicide. A machine. Imagine that. A freakin’ machine did this to a child. Call it any name, chat box, AI, it’s a dutty stinking machine.

Author Anna Sewell.

“…’he might have been anything when he was young; look at his nostrils and his ears, the shape of his neck and shoulder; there's a deal of breeding about that horse.’ He put out his hand and gave me a kind pat on the neck. I put out my nose in answer…”
#OTD in 1877, Anna Sewell's only novel, Black Beauty, was first published. >50MM copies sold making it one of the best-selling books of all time.

She began writing the book in 1871 at age 51, dictating much of it to her mother from her sickbed & died 5 months after its publication. #horses #fiction
