Does Trump want to destroy the US education system? Is it because he wants Americans to be ignorant? So that he can fool them all and feed them lies. He knows that Idiocracy was a satirical film, right?

A callout to kidslit authors! I'm giving a presentation to kids about editing. Do you have words of wisdom that you would like to share? How do you edit your own work? Do you even like editing your own work? What do you like about having an editor review your work? All advice and thoughts welcome!

Dearest darling UK #kidslit #copyeditors and #proofreaders, please do look out for comma splices when working on #kidslit books. I see too many in published books. Children are taught to avoid them, so it would be super if we could minimise the presence of comma splices in the books they read.

Making a starter pack for authors who do school visits, so schools can easily find us. This starts off one for primary schools go.bsky.app/5u2ArqX but I'll also do one for secondary. Let me know if you do school visits and you want to go on the list - and whether you do primary or secondary. Thanks.

I had the most marvellous celebrating 10 years of #MurderMostUnladylike with the inspirational Robin Stevens and got to chat and meet so many amazing people, plus Puffins past and present. It was an evening of celebration and joy, so much so that I kept forgetting to take photos!

I had a most excellent time at the Chartered Institute of Editing and Proofreading (CIEP) Conference and learned a huge amount. It was also great to catch up with editor buddies, and make new friends! I also learned the Finnish for 'nitpicker', courtesy of Adam Sharp (see last image).

I wish cars had better indicators for pedestrians to see. Car designers should be forced to try to cross roads and guess if the car they designed is indicating or not.
