Today is #StomaAwarenessDay - here’s what I’ve learnt in the past nine weeks: - mine is called Sven (when he’s good). Getting him quite literally saved my life. - I have to wear a small bag almost all the time, as I have no control over my output.

Your weekend reminder that Nigel Farage wants to - leave the ECHR - repeal the Equality Act - Strip back workers rights - Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts - repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes no fault evictions He is not on your side youtu.be/KxOQRt8PQys?...

If UK media actually explained Nigel Farage’s policies to the public no one would be supporting him

From the looks of things we just left Northern Ireland behind - which if we’re being honest is what we usually seem to do.

There are so many great new books coming out that I'm struggling to find space for them all. If each of you could buy, like 4 or 5 things from our shelves, that would be great! - Michael 😆

It is unbelievable how we treat older people in this country. Some people need to remember we will all be old at some point and will need help. Be kind it costs nothing

Trump says he wants to 'take' Cuba because he objects to one family using the state as a vehicle for personal enrichment. Let's just leave it there.

Tomorrow is promised to no one. However busy you are make sure your friends & family know you love them every day. Make that call, read the story, put your laptop & phone aside & listen when they tell you about your day. You’re replaceable at work by not at home.

I think it's absolutely mad that today there's a *national news story* about 400 oil platform workers losing their jobs, and the government being blamed. 25% of the UK TV industry lost their jobs in the last 4 years and we never hear a peep about it! Some jobs are 'real jobs' I guess.

I like Jamie Oliver but this is infuriating because AGAIN nobody seems to be aware/care that our biggest issue is portion size. The decline over the last ten years has been remarkable. Feed kids enough. Then worry about what. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My book speaks the truth. We should all remember this. Feels particularly apt at the moment. I wish it didn’t. (“That’s the curious things about monsters,” she whispers. “The worst ones don’t bother hiding in the dark.”) Taken from: I,Medusa by Ayana Gray
Extract from book: “That’s the curious things about monsters,” she whispers. “The worst ones don’t bother hiding in the dark.” 
She says nothing else as she pads out of my room, leaving me alone again.

In case anyone needs it, to have the ‘mubble-fubbles’ (16th century) means to have a fit of despondency or low spirits, such as the end-of-summer blues.

Dolly Parton helped fund Moderna’s Covid-19 vaccine in between providing free books to children. That’s not a joke. That woman saved lives and taught kids how to read, while be stunningly beautiful and entertaining us all. What a legend.
