Yes I am posting this because I covet that hare, but also I have read the piece and you should too because it's beautiful and fond, and (as someone closer to 50 than 40, with many unfulfilled dreams) inspiring and reassuring.
I have two - TWO - of these gorgeous original A4 meadow hare linoprints by my mum, Jo, to give away to a couple of lucky people here on Bluesky today.

@patricknessbooks.bsky.social I've just read A Monster Calls. I think it's the best and truest book about illness and grief I've ever read. I don't think I'll ever get over it. (In the best possible way—all of my favourite books are books I've failed to get over in one way or another).

Want to know what you should read this summer? Ask a bookseller. Ask a writer. Ask a librarian. Ask a living, breathing human being. Hell, ask me! It's been a while since I've done one of these, so let's do it: one like = one summer reading book rec.
This was just posted by @tbretc.bsky.social on another platform. The Chicago Sun-Times obviously gets ChatGPT to write a ‘summer reads’ feature almost entirely made up of real authors but completely fake books. What are we coming to?

@garypanton.co.uk I gave my daughter The Notwitches at bedtime, and I just went up to see how she was getting on with it. She's not always easy to please with books (I've had a few misses recently!) but her verdict on The Notwitches was: It. Is. Perfect. (And a tiny little 👌).

Just watched The Staircase, and I’m left with a lingering certainty that Colin Firth should be cast as William Shatner in a dramatisation of the making of Star Trek V: The Final Frontier.

I love the thematic overlap between Ghost Mountain (a book) by @ronanhession.bsky.social and Mountainhead (an album) by Everything Everything. That two of my favourite recent things deal with the unexpected consequences of unanticipated mountains is enormously pleasing.

This is a lovely thing. Don't think I've ever heard a band on Rock Action I don't like.
Have you heard Sacred Paws' new single "Save Something" yet? 🎻🎸🥁 This is also the opening track from their fantastic new album "Jump Into Life", OUT NOW on Rock Action and @mergerecords.bsky.social in the US. 🧡

First time I’ve seen the lampshade. Until today I thought @andrewmale.bsky.social had a tiny easel for his LP sleeves. I actually really liked it (even though it never actually existed).
#NowPlaying Played this once through, thought about putting something else on, but just played this again, from the start.
