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.

That's fine.

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.

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.
O God!
GSK CEO got 50% pay rise to £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.

cover of Teenage Girls Can Be Demons by Hailey Piper, art by Julia Lloyd, on a twinkling pink background, bracketed by the words Bram Stoker Award Finalist and Splatterpunk Award Finalist
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 🖤😈

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.
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.
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.
