What if, when we read a book and bump up against something that makes us uncomfortable (angry, confused, upset, offended, etc) instead of demanding the author only write what is acceptable to us, we hold that discomfort with compassion and use curiosity to see what it can teach us about ourselves?

A young boy and girl, sitting on a roof ledge above a London street. Above are the words "She said if we held hands and stepped off, it could all be over."
Beneath are the words "At eight years old, I already knew her scars ran much deeper than mine."

Dear @bbcnews-world-rss.bsky.social (among many, no doubt)

Maria Corina Machado won.
No other names need to be discussed.
Celebrate her win.
Stop fanning flames.
Really disappointing.

In that case, I am soooo trustworthy!

A UK local newspaper printed a story about five people attacking a woman. This sentence threw me…

‘Most’ seems like an odd word choice.

“Most of the defendants have no previous convictions but Mary Turner has 13 convictions for 30 offences, and Wendy Turner 13 convictions for 22 offences.”

If you've read and enjoyed 'How Soon Is Now?', a rating and a few words of review on your book rating/purchasing platform of choice would be hugely appreciated.
If you've yet to read it, today's the day. Or was yesterday the day? It gets complicated...
