Every three months like clockwork it comes. I hold out hope that one time they'll forget, but they haven't yet. So while I pay the rent bill, who would like to buy a book?

“And so it is, another year goes by with teachers having to spend hours teaching this stuff, purely so that the government can (they think) test teachers’ ability to teach. And yet, what the teachers are being tested for is their ability to teach an out of date, inaccurate chunk of knowledge.”

EXACTLY THIS. There is so little space for book coverage in any medium, when one of the vanishingly few spaces is replaced with AI slop, that hurts.

Children will always need BOOKS to help them make sense of the world. I love the idea that children's books can be bridges connecting all children, crossing all barriers, helping them to imagine a better world – and to build it, one day. #books www.theguardian.com/childrens-bo...

i just finished Some Body Like Me by @ldlapinski.bsky.social and my heart is full and broken in equal measure. What an achingly beautiful, unapologetically hopeful and devastatingly human novel. Stars. I am bereft.

Today UK authors are protesting against Meta for stealing our work to train their AI model. Authors earn an average of £7000 per year, we are not rich, and yet a trillion dollar company decided it didn’t want to license our work fairly as it was “too expensive” Theft is not a valid alternative.
