I am in this post and I’m very happy about it.

My TBR will always be larger than I can read, and that is OK because I supported the authors.

What's your totally ordinary opinion about books that you nonetheless find compelled to share when asked on a social media site such as this one for your most extreme/unhinged/hottest takes?

I'll go first: manga is popular among young people because manga often features young people.

Sometimes there'll be a joke written by someone who's been dead for tens, hundreds of years & i'll stop and think about another human reaching through time to make another human laugh, long after they're gone, and it's so beautiful it makes me well up.

Yes. Yes, you should.

Copurrnicus loves to come up on to my desk and lie across both my forearms. If I'm lucky, I can still type, but it's then hard to use the mouse. He gets very annoyed if I move my arms too much.

Yeah, it's a shame that it missed out on a decade of development.

Suw @suw.bsky.social · 18h

I remember when organisations used to put stuff like this on Flickr. Such a shame that Flickr was left to rot.

Suw @suw.bsky.social · 18h

What's frustrating is that we know that introducing beavers and rewilding rivers works. And it's cheap. But there just doesn't seem to be the will to make the change.

Suw @suw.bsky.social · 19h

Maybe even get a few beavers in? Surely sacrificing a little farmland is worth it to prevent flood damage for entire towns?

Suw @suw.bsky.social · 19h

You should absolutely preorder this, because it's bloody great!

James Alistair Henry @jamesbluecat.bsky.social · 19h

Until midnight this Friday (17th Oct), Waterstones are giving 25% off the preorder of the paperback edition of Pagans (due Feb '26) if you use the code OCTOBER25, so that's a thing you could do if you wanted.

They will soon be worshipping you as a god.

As soon as I find out, I'm going to go and bloody well get it back. I feel cheated.

I really don’t know how a British-Palestinian like @laylamoran.bsky.social, someone so close to and personally affected by everything that happened, finds those reserves of empathy, while people with much less skin in the game take it upon themselves to strike the most strident pose.

As so often, @laylamoran.bsky.social finds gracious, unifying words.

"I choose to believe that peace is possible. Everyone who went on a protest, wrote to their MP, cares about it, shouted at their TV - from whatever point of view - what were those deaths for, if not for a sustainable peace?" ~AA
