The sad part about going in a bookshop now is not trusting if new releases are written by AI. I’m probably missing out on a lot of good books but I just don’t trust ‘em.

people started shipping real life hockey players because of the gay hockey book and it's going poorly? i'm shocked

2026 is gonna be my year! (starts 34th farm in stardew valley)

saw the protest outside the barclays in glasgow the other day. fuck barclays.

Merry Christmas or happy Thursday friends 🎄💜

Getting the morbs the night before Christmas is very Scrooge of my brain

How is it Christmas tomorrow.

I've spoken alot about my grandad, but I've rarely discussed his battle with Dementia. He is my motivation for signing up for the 50 miles in January challenge. I will be sharing folklore along the way. Please share or donate if you are able. Thank you! fundraise.dementiauk.org/s/27334/2788...

okay!!!

A castle for Christmas has to be one of the best Christmas movies

The fact that I’m the only one at my company working this afternoon is a CRIME. The tea and shortbread will help ease my pain though

Every time I see this there's more. This is what I love about people

Can’t stop thinking about a book box company releasing a special edition Jane Austen set and saying the books won’t be signed.

"...estimated greenhouse gas emissions from AI use are also now equivalent to more than 8% of global aviation emissions" "AI-related water use now exceeds the entirety of global bottled-water demand"

A male CEO steps down and a couple of months later one of the most problematic children's authors is drop by the publisher under the leadership of a woman. Couldn't possibly be a coincidence.

Breaking: Autistic community preemptively rejects David Walliams

How’s it going my dudes. It’s been a while.

But for now I might finally delete Bluesky from my phone and see you in August. Please don’t forget about me if you all find a new social media in that time (im so sad deleting Bluesky whereas deleting insta and LinkedIn was no biggie). Okay okay I’ll delete the app it after my shower.

No surprise here. The war criminals are one of the first to announce a ban. Far-right and transphobia go hand in hand 🤝 www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202...

Fuck this. Nope. Dead to me.

Wild that the Green’s seem to be the only party taking a stand against the Supreme Court ruling and subsequent EHRC ‘guideance’. Please vote Green on May 1st if you’re able; they might not be perfect, but they’re a hell of a lot better than the other options.

Yet the Supreme Court disagrees with these feminists from the 1960s.

Can anyone help this group who are providing mutual aid to palestinians? Clean water is in short supply as well as food and other necessities. If you can't donate, give it a boost?

Also I will not lie to a potential employer to make myself seem more favourable. You either like bitchy old-man-shouts-at-cloud me or you don’t

I need potential employers to stop asking me what I think about AI because it’s nothing good and honestly why do you want to know what a writer you want to hire thinks of a machine that steals people’s work?

Do not travel to the UK. It is not safe for LGBTQIA + and gender non conforming people. Pass it on! #BoycottBritain

I had a clear out today. Here are two lots of books. I'm giving them away for free, cos I want to. The first pic to a primary school. The second pic to a secondary school. If you'd like them for your school get in touch. I'll choose the schools tomorrow UK only PLEASE SHARE

all gardens should have a wild meadow bit, i am firmly in favour of letting gardens go a bit weird

Under the EHRC rules it will be an offence for a trans woman to use a women’s toilet regardless of whether anyone objects, or even sees her. So cis men will have more rights to enter women’s toilets than trans women.

Preparing for a job interview later today for a job I hopefully stand a decent chance of getting. Didn't end up hearing back from that horrifying one the other week. I guess both me and the company knew I was never going to get it after that initial embarassing chat 🥹

If you have money, please please donate. If you don't, please share.

this is just £192 away from £5k!!!

Evening has ended better than it started as I’ve started Ocean’s Echo by @everinamaxwell.bsky.social and I’m happy to be back in this universe

Sorry to be morbid on Main. Just having a Bad Time lately.

Pretty sure I’ll be dead with stress before we get the money back Mike stole from us.

I don’t want to be angry all the time but people really don’t know how to be decent human beings.

I just want to curl up in a ball and cry like why is everything a struggle?

If you didn't know this already some librarys will let you join online. Incase, like me, you've been putting off joining.

In case you missed it, late last night the EHRC released draft guidance to the effect that owners of businesses that provide toilets will have a legal duty to enforce the mad "biological sex" rules about toilet access. If you own such a business, complain, loudly.

I am awake but at what cost

Do not travel to the UK. Do not travel to the UK. It has institutionalised transphobia. It is a country run by bigots!

as always, shop indie!!!!! support your local bookstores bc you better believe they are supporting you ❤️

Made a post on Patreon (www.patreon.com/iambookmad) explaining it all a bit better and where I'll still be active but I'm doing it; I'll be off social media completely from May 1st to 31st July. Basically I finished reading Wild by Cheryl Strayed and my brain has been changed.

When I think I've been unemployed for 613 days so far I can't help but feel like of helpless that I'll find something else. So today I'm going to try and do some writing. Maybe some reading.

Just had an awful gag reflex when I went to eat my breakfast so I guess I’m not having my weetabix today 😫 happy Friday everyone
