Literacy is activism.
Reading is a political act.
Books are tools for liberation.

People really get pedantic about audiobooks & saying it’s not really reading.

Just saw someone saying it engages different parts of the brain: reading = visual, listening = auditory.

But babe, my love, some of us have hyperphantasia. My visual cortex is firing all the way through that audiobook.

For those with dyslexia or other reading difficulties, audiobooks are a godsend. It means that they can have the joy of accessing stories, facts and vocabulary whilst bypassing the reading skills that are the barrier. They can also follow along in the text, increasing word recognition. :)

Cozy crime is my go to. I love the Lady Hardcastle books by T E Kinsey. They are funny and remarkably joyful despite being murder mysteries. And free on Kindle Unlimited I think!

The 'Two Tier' Journalism Exposed by the Farmers Protests The glowing coverage handed to the hugely wealthy people leading the campaign against inheritance tax reforms shows who has a voice in the media and who doesn't

If you bring central London to a halt to campaign against catastrophic climate change you're treated as a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up.

But if you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

I'm going to blow your mind: It is possible for the same person to enjoy paper books, ebooks, AND audiobooks, all for different reasons and at different times.

Sunrise in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh, Scotland — bringing the goth vibes.

I love that city.
