If the 15th anniversary of the earthquake & tsunami in Japan is a struggle right now, perhaps what we need is this book by Heather Smith & Rachel Wada. THE PHONE BOOTH IN MR. HIROTA'S GARDEN was inspired by the real life wind phone created by Itaru Sasaki.

The last episode of BatChat season 7 is out now!

To finish off this series, join us for a nice gentle episode as we drift down a river in canoes with the Bedfordshire Bat Group. As dusk falls, volunteers begin to survey the bats that call the river home.

It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

Running a business on your own can be challenging at times.

Today feels like a good day to say that I'm proud of what I've built. And I'm proud to be part of a community of women who are out there doing the same.

Happy International Women's Day.

The Ellisons’ new Paramount/Warner Bros mega-media monopoly would never pass muster if America still had antitrust enforcers.

So who can stop this? State attorneys general. Here's how. ⬇️

Why do doctors take it so personally when patients experiences of their treatment plans don’t meet up with their rigid expectations? We’re not having symptoms to spite you.

Emma Walmsley’s pay rose almost 50% to Β£15.6m in final year as GSK boss Bulk of 2025 renumeration came from share bonuses as drug company’s now former CEO benefitted from stock rise

GSK CEO got 50% pay rise to Β£15.6m.

Did you?

Neoliberals moan about rise in minimum wage. Govts preach pay restraint to workers. Silence on profiteering, hikes in exec pay/perks, dividends, share buybacks.

The state devoted to welfare of the super rich.

Let this serve as a reminder to his other bootlickers…. He has no loyalty to anyone.

The moment you cease to be useful he will cut ties.

β€œJust following orders” is not an excuse.

She presided over the killings of US citizens & lied to Congress.

Realized my @titanbooks.bsky.social demons are finalists for both the Bram Stoker Awards and the Splatterpunk Awards. I'm proud of this book, both as a fiction collection and because of the personal connection readers have shared about, whether in their demon days or remembering them.

Thank you πŸ–€πŸ˜ˆ

Good news: my dragon is now on Netgalley!

It’s a different sort of dragon rider novel: one from the dragon’s POV. He’s just here for the free food, he swears.

If you are an ARC-ish sort, there is a Read Now window open through Friday.

What we know about the strike on a school in Iran as the death toll rises Iranian authorities said at least 168 people, many of them children, were killed in the strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh elementary school in Minab.

Just read this article on the US & Israeli strikes on a school in Minab, Iran.

- At least 168 killed, including many girls aged 7-12.
- The school was bombed THREE times, not once.
- There were claims this was on an IRGC military base, but the base was closed 15 years ago.

This is a war crime.

Mahmood to stop study visas from four countries due to 'abuse' The government will end study visas from Afghanistan, Cameroon, Myanmar and Sudan, due to what she says is abuse.

Punishing people from the world’s worst conflict zones for using the only legal route to claim asylum, and forcing them to take dangerous routes instead. Reprehensible and counterproductive as usual.
