Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

After a very challenging 6 months (w almost no spoons left for reading), I've won a pb book subscription for a local-ish indie bookshop for a year. Torsten Woywod created (and paid for) an advent calender w different vouchers for indie bookshops. For someone working in publishing, he keeps 100%...

All excellent choices (as is the complete backlist of BM books, really). I'm giving Orca and Bird to myself. 📚💙

You otter lend a paw to help our most imperiled species. Tell leaders to protect the Endangered Species Act!

Otters are the absolute best at side eyes, and you cannot convince me otherwise.

Gross, but exactly what one would expect from an Ama⚡️on company, I guess 🤑. 📚💙

Getting screwed...

This reminds me of the time I sat next to a wrestler in my poli-sci class... you could always tell when they had a competition because of the hematomas. Go Eagles!

#FBrainCancer 📚💙

Writing (and receiving) Christmas cards is my favorite thing to do during advent. Time to listen to Christmas cds, doesn't benefit crazy rich billionaires (cards bought from small local vendors), people usually enjoy receiving them ... win/win/win. Tis the season.

Saliva start-up.... what a wild world we live in.

Vorbestell-Tip: Molly Keane: Das gute Benehmen, tr. Bettina Abarbanell, erscheint am 27.12026 auf deutsch im Kjona Verlag. #booksky #BookskyGermany #Lesen

For me, another year w/o Spotify wrapped. Always surprising to see how many people still use Spotify, but that CEO wouldn't be as filthy rich as he is if people had stopped using the app, I guess.

A pawsome cause if you're looking for a way to give back this holiday season! 🦦💙

Yay, some good news out of the US (from the US Fish and Wildlife Service's IG page): Wisdom is back. 💙 www.instagram.com/p/DRQEDcNkl-...

How is this still a thing????

Gotta love a 5th row seat... excellent place to view live stitching on the Ol bench 🙈💪.

It's pretty darn easy when you break it down like the Judge did, isn't it?!

Bin eigentlich großer Fan von Weihnachtsmarken der Deutsche Post, aber da dieses Jahr das Motiv mit KI geschaffen wurde (angeblich musste das dann von einem Grafiker nachbearbeitet und Fehler retuschiert werden 🤦🏼‍♀️), habe ich die Eichhörnchen von vor 2 Jahren wieder bestellt... und Bernd das Brot, ha!

Dude, if you're not up to the challenge of being a responsible coach, maybe choose another career Smh.

When the world seems more divided by the minute and led by egotistical (mostly) men, here's a reminder of what can be achieved if normal folks unite and bravely stand up for a common goal. Still gives me goosebumps.

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Wir deutschen Steuerzahler:innen sollen mit unserem Geld immer schön die Scheiße bezahlen, die Leute wie Spahn etc. verzapfen (Maskendeals, Maut, you name it), das abnicken und sonst Schnauze halten. Jetzt verhält sich ein CDU-Politiker wie ein Mensch, DEN sollen wir jetzt aber problematisch finden.

Unreal, such an important (and often fearless) voice - what a loss for readers everywhere.

Looking forward to receiving this sticker - just beautiful. Check out the patreon if you're interested in joining the sticker club.

Gross, and I think he underestimates a large group of readers. Support real art. Support Indies.

If you’ve been thinking about buying Saltbrun now might be the time. It’s a perfect gift! Or any other Renard title obviously! renardpress.com/books/saltbu...

#booksky, can you help? In so many ways this has been a glorious week of collaboration and support, but it’s ended on a downer…

Nächste Woche kommt mein neuer Roman raus (Angst :)), und ihr würdet mir sehr helfen, wenn ihr ihn vorbestellen würdet. Autor:innenfreundlich vorbestellen: shop.autorenwelt.de/products/da-... Hier vorbestellen und den lokalen Buchhandel stärken: www.genialokal.de/Produkt/Jasm...

Best decision of my uni time was spending a year abroad at UW LaCrosse. They have their annual fundraiser today, a great way to give to the International Education program: uwlgivingday.uwlax.edu/giving-day/1... #OneDayForUWL #LiveMaroonGiveMaroon

So good to see this mini tv series narrated by Julia Roberts getting the love the story deserves - of course, those of us who love the book (Rónán Hession: Leonard and Hungry Paul) knew all along 😉. #Booksky

Hahahaha, all those scary cyclists.

#booksky Support your Indie presses and local bookshops 🫶.

Yikes.

Hopefully, with some consequences for the "fan(s)" and that shameful and disgusting behavior.

Schon gemacht, also teile ich heute nur 😎 💙📚

Today's bookpost (not the Nobel Prize winner - congrats Laszlo Krasznahorkai), which I'm super excited about: the German Büchergilde Gutenberg edition of Colum McCann's Twist (tr. Thomas Überhoff), and yes, the hole goes all through the book... stunningly sparkly, too. #Booksky

Purpose= for them to make a shitload of money. They do this by telling others they need to be ultra "productive" and not to be distracted by fine arts. 🤑

"There's something quite bold about its gentleness." 💛🐠

It's #bannedbooksweek and the book banners who stalk my account for things to screenshot are back on their 'BoOk BaNs ArE a HoAx bullshit, so I dare them to screenshot this thread. Funny, they try to stir up rage about most any banned book post, but they never shared these, huh, weird, wonder why.

Holy shit...

A remarkable woman, who gave hope, and never stopped advocating for all things nature and conservation. Her legacy will continue to guide many.

Who knew that our local fair (one of the largest in the NorthWest, first mentioned in 1608) is older than Oktoberfest in Munich?! These days, I only go there to pick up chocolate covered strawberries 🤣, though. Yummy.

I love pre-ordering on days when publication day posts appear 💙, this time from the comfort of a small café off the hustle and bustle of downtown O. Cannot wait to add this new Colette Snowden book to my Bluemoose bookshelf.

Stay safe - always listen to scientific evidence, not some folks w an agenda.
