Perfectly plump puffin on the Isle of May this week 🥰 #SuperSeabirdSunday

Florida Surgeon General announced ALL vaccine mandates will be ended As a polio survivor, i was joyous when a vaccine became available. No other child would endure such fear & suffering. He said "who am i to tell u what to put in your body. it's God's business". Hes a doctor! This is lunacy

Thixendale, Marbled Whites on Field Scabious, Summer, that left me breathless. 2016

Smith needs to call an election. Enough. It is a well understood fact that having a two tiered system will create more shortages of staff in the public system creating much longer wait times. Desperate people will use the private system & bankrupt themself for relief of pain.

omg who did this 😂

My Summer solstice eve sunrise walk was a little bit overcast sadly. Thistles brought some colour to the scene and the clouds look like they are starting to break up now. Photo taken on Glastonbury Tor.

The feeling when a Cedar Waxwing takes direct aim at you first thing in the morning! Spotted early today at Central Park's Pool. 🥰🥰🥰 #Waxwings #CentralPark #birdsinflight

🏆WINNER🏆 On the day of the publication of his newest novel #BADINFLUENCE🩷 the INCREDIBLE @willcarver.bsky.social WINS the @capitalcrime.bsky.social fingerprint award for Genre Busting Book of the YEAR for his novel #KillThemWithKindness!🙌 Thank you so much to everyone who voted!

A #FolkloreThursday visit to the dentist seems like the perfect time to share the terrifying concept of 'tooth worms'. Believed to be responsible for toothache and decay, dating back to Babylonian times. These 18th century carvings are the thing of nightmares. 😱😱

Spotted near Harrison Park.

Every day, I breathe a sigh of relief that Canadians had the good sense to elect Carney over Poilievre.

With father's day coming soon, I find myself thinking about my dad. He was diagnosed with terminal cancer before MAID was an option in Canada. Thank goodness that people have a choice to die without suffering now.

Will Carver- Bad Influence "One of the most brilliantly versatile writers, turns his astute gaze & acerbic wit onto social media- you just know that you will be in for a glorious mindf*ck as usual…" @willcarver.bsky.social @orendabooks.bsky.social ravencrimereads.wordpress.com/2026/06/18/w...

From @noveldeelights.bsky.social 'Never To Be Found' by Jo Spain noveldeelights.com/2026/06/18/n...

Come for the rage, stay for the dismemberment. See how Bishop Rider makes them burn. #BookSky shotgunhoney.com/books/catalo...

Alarming. But unsurprising.

“Simply put, there is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy. Extreme wealth is always an extreme power. It’s the power to stifle competition, shape public discourse, influence policymaking, buy elections, stall social progress.” @gabrielzucman.bsky.social

In Black as Death, Áróra’s search for her missing sister reaches a turning point. New evidence emerges, old assumptions begin to crumble and buried secrets surface. The truth she has been searching for is finally within reach. But some answers come at a price. #BlackAsDeath @orendabooks.bsky.social

"...67% of American voters said they think global warming is affecting the cost of living in the United States, while 64% said it is affecting their own cost of living, pointing to increasing costs of home utility bills, groceries, and home insurance, among other things." time.com/article/2026...

So true.

Yes. Yes, minors have a right to privacy. bookriot.com/minors-right...

Happy Independent Bookshop Week! 🎉📚 This week is all about celebrating the incredible role independent bookshops play in our communities - and there’s no better time to support yours. Wherever you are, you can make a difference by visiting your local indie this week. 💛 #IndieBookshopWeek

Good morning, Bluesky. Writing is all about control. Nothing happens that you don’t want to happen: if you want it to rain it rains, if you want the characters to drop dead or burst into flames or emigrate to Mexico or fall in love with a fire hydrant, you can do it in a sentence. John Lanchester

'a triumph' writes @lindasbookbag.bsky.social Quantum of menace by Vaseem Khan lindasbookbag.com/2026/06/11/q...

An unbelievable bargain for the terrific Skelf series. 👇👇👇

Press reviews are settling me a little with just six days to publication.

This is wild: essentially every LLM—ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini—keeps using the same character when asked to make up a story, a guy called 'Elias Thorne'. He appears so much it's impacting Google Trends data and the self-published book market. Now we might know why www.404media.co/elias-thorne...

I burst out laughing when I read who the advisory panel members are. To call this panel independent is peak gaslighting.

Drop something GOLD 🥇👑💛🔱🏆

Yorkshire, indeed the world, has lost some of its colour today. Garrowby Hill, a Yorkshire landscape by David Hockney, 1998. So long, David.

SOUTHERN NOIR AT ITS GRITTIEST: @erykpruitt.bsky.social explores themes of identity, loyalty, and purpose with psychedelic, transgressive, chicken-fried twists that read like Trainspotting cut with a couple grams of Helter Skelter. Take it from @robwhart.bsky.social. Get yours: bit.ly/3OC0zlL

Well it's been a bit of a struggle, but the US and Canada eBook editions of The Violent Hour are now up an available for pre-order on Kobo! www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/...

Occasionally I see posts that people become more conservative as they age. I think as people age & gain life experience, they are more willing to support important issues. A more accurate statement would be as people become wealthy they support politicians who will help them protect their wealth.

This thread from Tom Cox about his dad is a delight.

"Alberta was created inside treaty territory, not the other way around."

People who oppose funding this are probably the same ones who lament homeless folks spending time at libraries. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
