Am exhausted with the news from America, & really scared of the direction things are heading & we're only one week in to the presidency. Can't shut it out. How do you cope?

Love a Shari Low novel ❤️ This is her new release, I just had to buy it. As always I'm invested in the characters straightaway and I can't wait to see where they take me. This book is also giving me a break from reading the very intense ACOTAR series!

I haven't watched the news today. It's a blue Monday. But the rain still falls and the world keeps turning and it's a privilege to be alive.

Just so we’re clear: 1. Audiobooks count 2. Reading is political 3. The orange man is a piece of 💩 Thanks for stopping by 💃

Fox hunting is not a sport—it's a cruel and inhumane practice. Exploiting legal loopholes, hunters continue killing innocent foxes under the guise of "fun." 🦊💔 It's time to put an end to this outdated and barbaric tradition. 🐾 Share if you agree!

I posted my overseas cards today & had to buy individual stamps at the PO counter. There was a man behind me in the queue & he kept huffing because he had to wait. There were only eight cards, so it didn't take that long. I did apologise, but should I have let him go ahead of me?

I was listening to an interview with Ayana Elizabeth Johnson a few days ago who said we need more stories in Hollywood depicting a solutions oriented future beyond dystopia. My first thought: Star Trek’s been there this entire time. Gene Roddenberry+ have given us a lot on which to build.

A collage of 9 images from a scene in Star Trek: The Next Generatoon TV series (“The Neutral Zone” 1988) showing Picard in dialogue with Ralph Offenhouse.

From left to right:

Picard: A lot has changed in the part 300 years. People no longer obsessed over the accumulation of things. We’ve eliminated hunger, want, the need for possessions. We’ve grown out of our infancy.

Offenhouse: It has never been about possessions—it’s about power.

Picard: Power to do what?

Offenhouse. To control your life, your destiny.

Picard: That kind of control is an illusion.

I love when readers borrow my books from libraries. They get a book, I get paid, libraries get supported and it's all environmentally friendly! Win win win win! X

I saw this first hand last week: it's rather beautiful close up but it does look like a 💩, I honestly thought it was there as a comment on sea sewage. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
