I love her so much. Her 'Life is Not Fair' interview on the Louisiana Channel is wonderful. And 'Nox' might be the best thing ever written on death and grief.

This is the most remarkable story Ray Bradbury ever shared with me. He told it to me late one night, sitting in his den of antiquities and mementos. Take five minutes to read this. It’s pure magic. #Writing #Living #Creativity #RayBradbury #BookSky

According to United Nations data, about 82 percent of the structures in Gaza are damaged, with two -thirds of them destroyed. With international journalists still widely unable to enter Gaza freely, satellite imagery remains one of the only ways to assess the true scale of destruction.

Channel 4 have picked on the wrong group. If there’s anyone with a heightened sense of justice, a superhuman ability to hyperfocus on complaints procedures, and an insufferable determination to prove themselves right, it’s an ADHDer. Good luck, fuckheads.

Not to be some wild-eyed innocent, but I think it should be slightly bigger news that The Lancet have crunched the numbers and found that Musk's USAID cuts will kill 14 million people. And that's just by 2030. That's 9,600 people a day, every day, until the next world cup rolls around.
