“GOTTA LEARN AI OR BE LEFT BEHIND.” Good. Fuck off! Leave me behind! Enjoy your artbarf rapture, your janky Temu future. I’ll be back here looking at real birds and writing weird, also real, books.

This was the joy of reading ‘The Wind in the Willows’ for me as a child - so engaged by the story that I looked up the words I didn’t know, desperate to know their meaning. To not even want that as an adult is…

This is your occasional reminder that Agatha Christie wasn't just the bestselling crime writer of all time but also she had a surfboard called Fred

There is a book for everyone. That means bookshops have to be for everyone too. Not intimidating. Not exclusive. Not a test. Just a place where curiosity is enough, and belonging begins at the shelves. #Indiebookshopweek @booksaremybag.bsky.social

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid
IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes
