I fell in love this weekend. With a novel. It's so good, a must-read that packs an emotional punch! books.beledit.com/rebecca-wait... #BookReview #📚💙 @quercusbooks.bsky.social

I made this hooked strap to stop my cards sliding out of the phone wallet. Tried to buy one that looks better but doesn't seem to exist. If you're looking for an idea for something to make and sell, you're welcome! #invention #PhoneWalletCardSafetyStrap 😁

"Keep your hands off my chopped liver!" We're spoiling him rotten because otherwise he gets bored and brings mice home. Or miaows until we put him in a cardboard box and then swing it back and forth while crying "Wheeeeee!!! "Wheeeeee!!!"

Yet further proof of his supporters' absolute absence of shame. While everyone else suffers vicarious shame.

Once again, Ken Follett brings history to life, this time in an epic novel set in stone age Britain. A grand story indeed! #📚💙 #BookReview #HistoricalFiction @kenfollettauthor.bsky.social @quercusbooks.bsky.social books.beledit.com/circle-of-da...

Delighted to discover a classic crime writer via Netgalley: Ethel Lina White. As good as I expect from the genre. Beautifully written, a great set of characters, theatrical pacing, lots of creepiness, some really good scares... I loved it! www.waterstones.com/book/9781805335191

Last year, the EU adopted its first-ever law to fight violence against women and domestic violence. But this is not the end of the story. Tonight, Europe shines orange as a reminder of our responsibility: To ensure every woman can live without fear. #OrangeTheWorld

Tonight, @europarl.europa.eu glows in orange. A light for every woman and girl who has suffered in silence. A promise to every woman and girl who deserves safety, dignity, and a life free from fear. We owe them more than awareness. We owe them change. #OrangeTheWorld

This @jami999.bsky.social person's entire timeline consists solely of reposts from a single other person's [rather uninteresting] account. Why?

NAZIS CALL THEM WHAT THEY ARE.

Just started reading Freebourne yesterday. It's good!

Want to dive into 17th century Bern (Switzerland)? The House of Barbary is fantastic historical fiction telling a unique story of a murderous cult, conspiracies and bloody revenge. A 5-star read! #BookReview #HistFic 📚💙 books.beledit.com/the-house-of... @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

Call me stupid, but I don't understand... We know there are photos. There are videos. So where are they? Who has them? Why have they not been released/leaked yet? Surely it's simple: someone just needs to press 'Send'. #Epstein #TrumpIsAPedophile

While I don't approve of the editing they did (even if it could be justified by saying it represented trump's true intent, it was still misleading), I certainly approve the response used in Arkell v Pressdram [1971]. Link in the article.

This would be the look on my father's face if his young grandchildren were served food before him. "What about MEEEEE?"

Also "I just kept my head down because I didn't want to draw attention."

Her adoptive dad had sexually assaulted her for years. But when Taylor Cadle told police, she was treated like a “monster.” She was charged with lying to the police and had to write an apology letter to her abuser. Justice finally came when Taylor took her phone and hit record.

Loving thoughts to my brother who died of AIDS 30 years ago today, as fireworks lit the sky. "And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

Excellent dialogue in #SlowHorses. Esp when Gary Oldman says he's going to the bathroom to take a Donald. Very appropriate rhyming slang.... 😁

Fans of some of the more obscure 19th C authors and early crime fiction might enjoy my article on J. S. Fletcher and his influence on Golden Age crime fiction. books.beledit.com/js-fletcher-... #ClassicCrimeFiction #SensationNovel #BookReview 📚💙

Everyone saying antifa 'is a terrorist organisation' already KNOWS 100% that it's not. They were not born yesterday. They know it and they know full well that they are lying. Get to the point and call them out for LYING.

Superb! Take that Trump! This is how you win the Nobel Peace Prize. You are the exact opposite of this incredible leader. www.samsung-news.com/articles/76E...

'Character Limit' is a clever title

One of my favourite books

"stop waiting for the people in power to solve everything" www.counterpunch.org/2025/10/03/n... "Fear and apathy are infectious, but so is solidarity, bravery, initiative, and organizing." @tamarapearson.bsky.social #Don'tGiveUp

It's become clear to me that his supporters know he's in the Epstein files and they don't care. But they might be made to care that he's an old man who's brain is mush. People in power need to keep speaking up. Not just hinting, but this, loudly invoking the 25th amendment.

On Thursday, someone gave me a present of a trump voodoo doll. After repeatedly viciously stabbing it, I got rid of it. I cannot bear to have a figure that's the epitome of evil in my house. I mean him, of course, not the harmless woolen doll.

Re. Korean tv shows. I'm a big fan of #kdrama. #Mobius was my first #cdrama and I really enjoyed it! Any more recommendations?

A father mourns his son, killed by the russians. Ukrainians are paying the highest price for their freedom. The free world must stand with Ukraine — and provide everything needed to defeat russian evil.

More #book #scammers. Beware!

Oh how I love reading Victorian novels! Maybe this will entice you to read them too! books.beledit.com/the-greatest... #📚💙 #HistoricalFiction (Historical novels set in the 19th century are the next best thing 😁)

I swore I would never be the sort of person who exclaims "What is the world coming to!" but I find myself saying it in my head more and more every day. One of these days it's going to come out aloud, and then I'll be officially OLD.

The more things change, the more things stay the same.

Ah, the famous "But you know me!" argument used by fascists everywhere

Heroes! ✊

I'm giving myself a present of couple of week of only reading 19th century novels, to escape all the awful. Currently reading J.S. Fletcher Dead Men's Money and Wilkie Collins Jezebel's Daughter. Excellent stories, well told. It's a breath of fresh air.

This is why we're enraged: the benefit of the doubt always, always, always, without exception, goes to the abusers, not their victims. No matter how many victims accuse the same abusers. "How dare you accuse" trumps "How dare you abuse" (pun intended). Since forever.

Perhaps this article could have mentioned the hate and abuse Linehan has spent years whipping up against trans people.

The former head of Kazakhstan National Security stated that Putin has a comprehensive kompromat file on Trump. He didn’t suggest it. He stated it. The file, he said, is extensive, meticulously documented, and designed not to destroy Trump—but to control him. www.closertotheedge.net/p/what-putin...
