The world would be a better place if people read more books

Might have to give that a watch next weekend!

☺️

I feel you 🤍

Bless you

*Whoops, I meant 'not at all what he is in the book'

I thought it was a good film, but it wasn't true to the book. The monster was turned into a bulletproof superhero, which is not at all what he is in the film.

In its own right, it's a good film though. Still prefer the book.

Jewels glisten
Laden with dew
In the growing light
Of the rising sun

Beautiful

Gust of spring blows in
Mines precious jewels from the earth
And pins them amongst the trees

Can you imagine if Russia had killed 165 Ukrainian schoolgirls? Or if Hamas had killed 165 Israeli schoolgirls? Or if Iran had killed 165 American schoolgirls?

The outrage would, rightly, be off the charts. It'd be spoken about for years.

But when the US killed 165 Iranian schoolgirls... Silence.

Keir Starmer saying "we have learned the lessons of Iraq" and refusing to join in the illegal, unprovoked and utterly insane US-Israeli war against Iran is the only time I can say have been impressed by Keir Starmer. The man finally grew a spine and stood up for something.

A graphic for a book promo. It features the book The Masks We Wear by Samantha Pearlman and The Next Page Book Project.

Three years ago I helped write a story along with 174 other writers across the globe.

The Masks We Wear:

❤️ Exploration of identity
🧡 Mental health rep
💛 Chronic illness rep
💚 LGBTQ+ rep
💙 Intricate family threads
💜 And ultimately, what it means to finally shed our masks.

Congratulations!

Saying Starmer is not a racist, genocidal drunkard is probably the greatest compliment Starmer has ever received. 😅

Thank you 🤲🏽

Thanks Wendy

It's still built on the theft and bad for the environment whatever you use it for.

Thank you

Oh, I see... Is it a 'police action' like Vietnam? 🙄

It's a no from me.

AI, LLMs in particular, is built on stolen human creativity and is absolutely horrendous for the planet (the energy it consumed is sickening).

They're beautiful, thank you. I've just planted some seeds too.

Visited the cemetery today for the first time in a while. The weather hasn't been great for months, to be fair. Can't believe it's going to have been a whole year tomorrow...
