So excited that this book - the first in a new series! - is published this year! It's a mystery set at MI5 during the First World War, with a cast of girl characters that I love so much.

Just dropped @hollywebb.bsky.social and friends off at the station on their way to the protest at the new trans-exclusionary Girlguiding policy. So proud of them all. (Their signs are fab.) I gather some folks are bringing binliners for a post-protest litter-pick - the most Girlguiding thing ever.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"? Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic

Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

I was practically a permanent resident in South Norwood Library as a child. Writers and illustrators, please do sign this open letter. Library cuts slowly steal away opportunities for creative children - all children, actually.

So glad to see this. Creatives should be paid for use of our work. I've filled in the government consultation - I really hope it makes a difference...

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Paris is full of flower shops like this. I think I might even spend more money on flowers than cake if I lived here. It would be close though. (Very Marie Antoinette vibes here, I realise...)
