Absolutely this. It'll be the dangers of working whilst pregnant soon, and then the dangers of going outside whilst pregnant, and then the dangers of social activities preconception. Better for all women of reproductive age to stay at home Taliban style. It's chilling.

Respect for Lucy Bronze. What a fucking badass

The Ministry of Time - five peaches 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑

What a fucking goal.

This is such good news www.thebookseller.com/news/governm...

Brilliant, as always www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I genuinely don't think the Brontës would have a problem with preserving the future of the planet for generations to come. This headline is ridiculous @theguardian.com - do better.

2000 years ago: the Romans would let an aqueduct destroy the Gardon Valley. We need clean water, but at what cost?

Ooh - I've been quoted in The Bookseller! www.thebookseller.com/news/goodrea...

Remember the Russell T Davies dystopian TV series Years & Years? So prescient in many things, apart from the bit where the exposing of concentration camps for immigrants causes a public backlash against the extreme right.

I’m no expert but I would’ve got a person to do it.

I can usually tell I'm right by the sound of my husband furiously googling something followed by complete silence

'Regarding the normalisation of strangulation during sex Mackenzie believes the situation has only worsened... "What we’ve got is this completely mad idea that we can somehow help women to keep having violent sex but in a safer way. Maybe in a hi-vis jacket?”' www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

An excellent joke from the drummer

Peach-O-Clock - the best time of day! Thank you @theimogenchurch.bsky.social - can't wait to hear you narrate this!!

Happened to me - 2 star review for The Night Shift a year before publication date when no review copies were available. Clearly a review for a different book with a similar title but nothing Goodreads can do, apparently. www.thebookseller.com/news/authors...

Still true: *Britain is a success story *Most of its cities are doing astonishingly well *Multiculturalism is popular *Mass immigration has not led to social disintegration *Nostalgia is increasingly weird *Britain is incredibly safe *Levels of social cohesion are high Don't let them gaslight you.

Lovely catch up with the @cwip.bsky.social ladies today for brunch at Dishoom

Loved this. I wouldn’t have believed that a story about a woman struggling to leave her abusive partner could be so uplifting whilst also being so insightful as to the mind games that keep women in these relationships. Strongly recommend #Nesting #RoisinODonnell 5 peaches 🍑🍑🍑🍑🍑

"What has the ECHR ever done for us?" 🤔 [SOUND ON 🔊]

Getting stuck into the ARC copy for this tomorrow and really looking forward to reading more of @nancypeach.bsky.social

The town was evacuated in time, hence no death, hence no press coverage. But this is an entire town destroyed and a mountain collapsing, and nobody talking about it. #ClimateChange

Wow, look at this: the carbon intensity of UK electricity is currently only 32g/kWh and 86.5% of our electricity right now is coming from renewables. Come on world, this IS possible! And it will only get better (meaning: cleaner, healthier, less intrusive) 🎉 (graphic from grid.iamkate.com )

When you could afford your legacy to be any number of excellent things why would you want it to be, “he actually made the AIDS epidemic worse”?

Fantastic ending to Baroness Kidron's speech in the House of Lords yesterday, which led to the government's defeat on AI & copyright. Speaking the UK's creators: "Their property, their labour, is worthy of your protection - because apart from anything else, it is not ours to give away."

"..You have the right to be angry sometimes" - Little My, character in the Moomin books by Tove Jansson who first appeared in 1950. She is small, determined, mischievous and fiercely independent and partly based on the author herself. #WomensArt #Monday

In the days of lovely Twitter I often put out a call for help with research in writing my books. So here goes, Bluskiers. I'm looking for a social worker (adoption/fostering preferably) and a probation officer who worked between 2008 and 2012, the more senior the better. Please share :)

We should all be reading novels - focussing on long form writing and following a story to its conclusion significantly improves attention span #BookSky www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...
