"Secondary schooling has been closed to girls since 23 March 2022." Girls aren't allowed to go to school, women aren't allowed to train in medicine, women aren't allowed to get medical treatment from men. That doesn't just deny Afghan girls and women education and work, it puts their lives at risk.

I've been playing a lot of my music at book events recently, so I thought it was worth reminding you that you can stream or download everything from my Bandcamp site. What's more, Bandcamp regularly waive their commission on Fridays, including today! dougjohnstone.bandcamp.com/album/crow-h...

On a more personal note: this would not have been possible had I not, many moons ago, studied English Literature at Royal Holloway after attending non-selective state schools. It was at RHUL that I was introduced to Middle English by the fantastic medievalists who taught me.

It's the Lakes International Comic Art Festival this weekend! I will be there with comics, art, sketches and my new self-published FEZ PAPERS, which collects my old Fez strips, most of them in full colour for the first time.

Cover to "The Fez Papers", showing The Fez (an ambulatory empty suit wearing a fez and a monocle) holding a flaming torch. Behind him a huge, toad-like monster with horns is lurking menacingly.

With alt text. I know someone who actually did this

kbarton1001
On my first big overseas client conference, I was at a dinner seated next to a drunk client who kept trying to fondle me under the table. I was young, distressed, and had no idea what to do. I moved my legs as far away from him as I could, moving into the space of the man next to me, who then started patting my legs! The Regional Manager was a French woman who caught my eye, gestured for me to go to the bathroom and when I came back had switched chairs with me. What happed next was epic. A few minutes after I sat back down, she raised her hand with his hand captured in hers and announced loudly "Does anyone know whose hand this is? I found it in my lap." There was dead silence at the table. She threw his hand back at him and said calmly "next time I pick it up with my fork." Then she started a new conversational thread and things moved on. After the meeting she found me, gave me a hug, and said seriously "Never be afraid to make some noise. It is their shame, not yours."

This is a very cool find! An original flyer advertising the opening of the first Forbidden Planet shop in London. It came with Dennis Giffords Ace newsletter in summer 1978, so this is possibly one of the first printings of Brian Bolland's iconic image.

Just received my (signed!) copy of Last One Out in Lychford and thus completed the series (kind of completed, since I'll end up buying the 1st collection, the single 4-6 novels and all the availableaudiobooks), although I'd love it if @paulcornell.bsky.social decided to keep writing it...

The seven Lychford novels, 4-6 in a single volume which is slightly larger than the rest and therefore also slightly unsatisfying.

We have something very cute to share with you today 🦉 This summer, a pair of barn owls successfully reared four owlets at Kedleston Hall, marking Kedleston's first known breeding success in over two decades.

Four young barn owls jostle onto the small wooden ledge of their nest box, fixed to a huge oak tree behind them

A young barn owl in flight, its wings stretched up above it against a blurry green background, its white heart-shaped face facing the camera

A young barn own in flight, a blurry oak tree behind it, its huge white and brown wings beating downwards as it looks at the camera

A barn owl swooping down with its wings fanned wide across a field of long purplish grass

Dora Carrington painted this portrait of the novelist E. M. Forster in 1920—without a single sitting. Instead, she worked from memory and photographic references, drawing on her own enthusiasm for photography.

With the conversations happening here today, I'm thinking about how Ellis gets to have a "second chance" without doing any of the work to change or even meaningfully apologise to the scores of women he harmed and manipulated. All he had to do was wait a while.
