The real Lord of the Flies: what happened when six boys were shipwrecked for 15 months When a group of schoolboys were marooned on an island in 1965, it turned out very differently to William Golding’s bestseller, writes Rutger Bregman

I loved (and was horrified by) this book in my teens when we read it at school. It stayed with me for many years, and shaped my view of humanity.

The truth was that William Golding was deeply twisted, and the truth was far more beautiful.

I'll still watch it, but it's good to know ❀️

Uploaded my very first 3d print model to Makerworld today. Just a simple zentangle stencil for easily and quickly creating zentangle tile squares ❀️ Created for myself as I get a little caught up in the perfectionism of precision squares!

Judging by the ones I've come across? Definitely miserable, and ruled mostly by fear. Imagine having your world sucked dry of joy. I don't envy them.

Bye bye boring coasters - these ones pretend to be a PLANT!! So they get to hang around looking pretty until needed πŸ˜πŸ™Œ

They might even get me into a coaster using habit... πŸ€”β€οΈ

Remember to call it the Republican regime - there's always an asshole looking to abuse power, but they as a party allowed it to happen. They knew what they were letting in.

I want to say it's shocking, but I'm all out of shock. Renee Good, Alex Pretti - and how many more that we haven't seen because no one was there to witness or film...? 😒

At what point does Trumpety fuckface get PERSONALLY sued for breaking his oath to defend the constitution...? Because surely he took that as a private citizen and therefore it isn't protected by Presidential privilege? Asking as I don't know, but interesting to explore.

I have friends and sisters with 11 year old girls. Some of them have already experienced sexualised language and attitudes at school. As a 10 year old girl I had boys at school messing with my bra and asking me if I was a virgin.

No female is this ignorant, unless being deliberately obtuse.

I very much hope not. We love the Loki books too by the way - the 9-12 section seems to be booming right now with imagination-catching original ideas ❀️ please keep writing πŸ™Œ

M&S brandy butter topped ones are lovely, and the icing topped ones are always a winner (can you tell I have a sweet tooth?)

Animals are smart and would choose to move on... ❀️

But there's definitely a story in there about a dog that missed it's hooman too much, and a dumbass dog that missed his opportunity to move on because he got distracted by food or a ball or something...

All book genres are to be treasured, and my son is a lover of comics and graphic novels. I just hope publishers don't abandon longer stories - this is my 11year old straight from school, rushing to continue reading the final instalment of #Skandar which has utterly captured his imagination ❀️
