Bit chuffed to be Children’s Book of the Week in the Times. Been a lovely week in publishing (not so ace in higher education).

Good night Bluesky

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country? Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

The other day Manchester United’s co-owner Jim Ratcliffe said the UK had been "colonised by immigrants"….today there’s this billboard outside of Old Trafford 🔥….way to go Manchester 💪!

'fan forced' Stop being so dramatic

This #buyastrangerabook offer from @helenliz.bsky.social is still unclaimed. Come along now. Stop docking about.

It’s UK Public Lending Right time again which means it’s time for my semi-regular reminder that spending your money on books is NOT the only way to support your favourite authors. We DO get paid when you take books out of the library. It’s free for you and good for authors and readers everywhere! 📚

Paperback books are like velveteen rabbits — ours to be loved and used and squeezed and drug around and stuffed into shoulder bags and left in the sun and read and read again until there's nothing left but the best kind of memories from something real

That’s what’s up.

Excellent mumming

But… but is there *ANY* way this could be a woman’s fault…?

My son just called Bill's 'Bottomless Pancakes' deal 'Infinite Pancakes', which is so much better. Someone pass it on to Bill...

I watched Hamnet yesterday and now my children can ask for whatever they want and I will give it to them

When I was a kid I was watching TV with my mum and Uri Geller told viewers to put a teaspoon by the TV so he could work his cutlery-based sorcery on it. When my mum went to the loo I got up and bent the spoon. She found it later and shrieked with glee at Geller's spoony powers. Still makes me happy.

You're silly 🪿

Who do you think would win in a rap battle? Bad Bunny or Julia Donaldson?

ME: whenever i make fried eggs the yolks break but when i make scrambled eggs they don’t ALANIS MORISSETTE: i’m sorry but the lyrics are already done

Today I received a schedule sent message from myself recommending a book. I have no recollection of setting up this email. Why did I do it? Why didn't I simply buy the book at the time? But I would be very foolish to disobey Past Me. After all, Present Me is only here today because of her.

Tomorrow! Still time to sign up.

at the end of the credits in the Melania movie they show the complete unredacted Epstein files confident that no-one will ever see them

I’m ok. I’m a survivor so this small agitator isn’t going to intimidate me from doing my work. I don’t let bullies win. Grateful to my incredible constituents who rallied behind me. Minnesota strong.

IT'S WEDNESDAY. It's #buyastrangerabook day! The grooviest day of all. I'll give out TWO books. FOR FREE. If you'd like one, let me know. Also, if you'd like to #BuyAStrangerABook too, let me know. It's a thing! Look. biggreenbookshop.com/stuff-you-mi... UK only.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

She’s a 10 but she doesn’t have Buffalo 66 on DVD

Just got a royalty statement for £1.64 Drinks are on me!

This is an excellent analogy, because my recollection from grade school is that the pen on the right looks fun and exciting, and then you play with it for a few minutes and realize it's not actually useful for anything and in fact makes some tasks more cumbersome, and never think about it again.

Medieval Scribe Keeps Forgetting ‘Whence/Whither’ Rule

You won't believe what East 17 look like now

Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.

Cannot wait for this event at Ink & Quill in Montrose! Tickets available here: inkandquill.co.uk/products/mee...

Peter and MJ Art by Francesco Tomaselli #marvel

Hats off to whoever did this (and the beautiful model).

On a first date. She leaned over to show me a pic on her phone, a message popped up saying 'never mind, looks aren't everything!' Our eyes met in disbelief. Tried to laugh it off but was clearly upset. On the way out I loudly hit my head on a door as it swung open too.

Say what you want, but Massie has game.

SCAM ALERT – IMPORTANT The cat has already been fed.

I had a 12 minute phone call with someone earlier on WhatsApp, then at the end of the call after I said bye, I took the phone away from my ear and realised it was a video call and the other person had been looking into my ear for 12 minutes.

you can laugh but you haven't met tarquin

babybel implies the existence of scarybel, sportybel, gingerbel and poshbel

Happy 13th birthday to the most essential artwork of the current era, @kcg.bsky.social ‘s “This is fine,” to all those who celebrate.

not getting shot in the face by a government thug after dropping your kid off at a school is a kitchen table issue, probably the most talked about issue at kitchen tables right now honestly

Please share - a woman in Victoria BC is seeking a living liver donor. I donated a kidney two years ago - being part of the organ donation process is pretty neat and the folks at BC Transplant are amazing. Please give this article a read to learn more. #yyj vicnews.com/2026/01/07/v...

Here are the Top 5 Dogs of the week!

Things are awful, so a little treat for the real Crush-Heads. It is now eleven years since I got this printed in the Metro.

A difficult watch but important

I finished edits on my WIP today. Earlier than expected. Needs a read through but The Big Work is done

Would someone go and pick up my son from school for me please? I mean, I like him and everything but it's cold out there
