Hey @peat.bsky.social , would this be something interesting for you?

I've just received this pendant I bought from @emmanewman.bsky.social and it's even prettier in real life than on the photo where I chose it 🥰

This is now what passes for “science” from the BBC. Hackneyed cliches, faux mystery, factually incorrect statements. 1. Archaeologists are, once again, “baffled” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I just got forwarded this and I feel seen 😄 (it's month end!) Back to work now... 😌

2026-22. Confidently Lost, by Gavin Oattes - 3.5/5 Nice book about anxiety and recovering after a dark period, finding the nice things in life - I'd have liked it more if I didn't already focus on the things he highlights 🙂 📚💙

(hmmm I'm pretty sure I'd posted this already, why can't I see it??) After a break of many months when I didn't feel like doing it, I finally got back to my cross-stitch and finished my ongoing project!

2026-21. Gorse, by Sam K. Norton - 2.5/5 This is a folk story, part horror, based on Cornwall's moors hidden stories. Great for those who like this (the writing describes the landscape beautifully), unfortunately not for me, sorry.

Truly unique 😂

Hurray, I’m indie book of the month for May #mayday #books #bookshop #bookstodon Lots of bookshop gigs imminent www.robinince.com And big London gig www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/com...

2026-20. Leonard and Hungry Paul, by @ronanhession.bsky.social -4/5 I bought the book after watching the series; it influenced my reading and how I saw the characters so next time, book 1st. Lovely calm book about friendship and silence, not copying the crowds and enjoying the little things in life

The gods of Wyrdwood ( @rjbarker.bsky.social ) have invaded another bit of Yorkshire! At least they're not blue...

Mine has to be açorda. Mushed bread. Yes, as awful as it sounds. Eaten hot, and even with shrimps and stuff thrown in, it's ghastly. I can't even stand the smell (imagine old hot mushed stale bread....)🤮 (everything else is great, though, haha)

Embracing my inner child this afternoon 😀 (I believe the world would be a better place if there were playgrounds for adults as well)

Enhertu is giving women more time in Scotland and around the world. But NICE denied it in England, Wales & NI, saying we’re not “cost effective.” We’ve lost friends waiting. As of April 2026, the money is now there. We need to drug companies to resubmit Enhertu immediately. #metastaticbreastcancer

As I read in a review, this Wyrdwood/Forsaken Trilogy by @rjbarker.bsky.social is complex, difficult and unpredictable. Not an easy read. But for me, this is what makes it so great - no cosy fantasy here. And it gives us the best character turnaround since Malta in the Liveship Traders! 📚💙🪐

2026-19. Heart of the Wyrdwood by @rjbarker.bsky.social -5/5 I praised book 2 so much that I don't have the right words for the last one... especially as anything I could say would become a major spoiler. Come for the strange world, stay for the incredible character development, and so much more 📚💙🪐

Great evening at a @robinince.bsky.social event, very much recommend! Although your ADHD brain was really clashing with my autistic one, I kept wondering if the books didn't have an index and why you hadn't bookmarked the poems 😄 I didn't stay to chat because there were a lot of people, but thanks!

A version of the poster for Chepstow's Many Worlds destined for gaming and nerd shops in the Bristol / Cardiff area...

Once again, neurodivergence was used as an excuse for criminal acts 😡 "Fulford also criticised a repeated tendency of professionals to “excuse” Rudakubana’s increasingly violent and unpredictable behaviour on the basis of his suspected, and later confirmed, autism diagnosis."

Ohmygawd, chapter 44 of book 3, @rjbarker.bsky.social what have you created? 😮🫣 Talk about plot twist, this is world twist, world-shattering twist! 🤯 And now I have to go and try to sleep another couple of hours??? 😭

NASA made a "Moon Joy" compilation.🌕 www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHUv...

I should do a giveaway here too! I'll randomly select someone who retweets this to receive a signed copy of Daughter of Crows 🙂

2026-18. Warlords of Wyrdwood by @rjbarker.bsky.social -5/5 Book 2 of the trilogy and ohmygawd this is SO good! Stakes increased 100%! Hurt and pain and discoveries and sacrifice and love and new friends, + myths turned on their head, because real life is so much stranger and better than a myth 📚💙🪐

LibraryThing wishes our members a Happy International Children's Book Day! Chosen by IBBY (the International Board on Books for Young People) in honor of Hans Christian Andersen's birthday, this is a day to celebrate books for children. #childrensbooks #InternationalChildrensBookDay #Booksky #💙📚

I'm around 2/3 in of book 2 and I'm loving Udinny's chapters so much, @rjbarker.bsky.social ! She's the important one doing her work in the shadows and I hope so much she's got a good ending, even if I have to wait for it in book 3...

😁

4. -Even if you think you're going out of your way not to put "politics" into your work, you are. Who you are in the world, what you think of it, and what you aspire to say your work is *inherently* a social/political stance. Writers can't help but be "political" because all writing is commentary.

Scotland saw around 1,000 executions of “witches” between the 16th and 18th centuries. 1/5

First blog post in months is up! Contains news, my schedule for @easterconuk.bsky.social and some previews of the art that I'll be exhibiting in the art show. enewman.co.uk/the-roots-ar... Boosts would be gratefully received x

One must imagine Sisyphus soaking wet

Today I saw this great exhibition at The Hepworth Gallery, ceramics from a danish artist called Alex Salto. Strangely, they made me think a lot about Wyrdwood - @rjbarker.bsky.social , do you think the trees and bushes (and some animals) would look a little like this?

And still there are people who say that SF and Fantasy aren't actually about the here and now.

2026-17. Unmasking Autism, by Dr.Devon Price - 5/5 After recent diagnosis, I found this book and spent a lot of the time saying "yes, that's exactly me!" throughout the pages. It also made me realise how I built a good life for my traits, even if I didn't know why they were there #ActuallyAutistic

Hey @robinince.bsky.social , see you next month 😀

This is not a rehearsal, it’s your one precious life. Try to appreciate and make the most of today, even if things are difficult or don’t go to plan

2026-16. Gods of the Wyrdwood, by @rjbarker.bsky.social - 4.5/5 Great new world, based on forests I love the 3 main characters (but one name grated: Uddiny... no, she's not a magician😁) Calm and slow, although it's the calmness of the far ocean where you have to sink or swim, no half-measures 📚💙🪐

In this article I see my life reflected. So little is understood about living in "the long middle", being “chronically terminal”... 1/2

😮😡

Happy International Day of Happiness! For Akossiwa in Togo, happiness comes from being able to provide for her family through her own hard work. If you can, why not consider supporting an entrepreneur’s business and their happiness at www.lendwithcare.org 🧡

Something that helps me get out of my brain when I go for a walk. Say out loud: * 3 things you can see (notice!) * 3 things you can hear (listen!) * 3 things you can feel (touch!) #InternationalDayOfHappiness

It's finally Spring! 😀 Go outside and look at a plant or tree, notice the little buds 🌱🌼 #InternationalDayOfHappiness
