‘You’re scared - I’m scared too.’ 😢 😢 😢
‘A piece of handsomely-mounted, crypto-facist propaganda.’ @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social’s review of Melania is utterly on the money: precise, unrelenting, sharply-contextualised. No notes.
That Carney speech. I forgot what a backbone looked like.
Our Hendricks adopted alternative families twice (we moved house). They named him, fed him sometimes, took him in occasionally.
When he died, it was a bloke from one of those ‘second homes’ who found him and came to tell us, in tears.
King among cats. A lazy, greedy, beloved king.
How gorgeous! Merry Christmas and much love to all of you. Xxxxx
They always do, my friend. They always bloody do.
Oh god - dog vomming! 🤢
Hey, you! How richly ironic, then, that I’m getting to this ONE DAY LATER.
Please consider this your *Sunday* morning greeting. Hope the scaffolding stuff played out as you hoped.

I am! Actually have been for a while, but ducked out because 😢 no-one was talking to me.

Thank you so much for your tireless work.
Anyway, this will come as absolutely zero surprise to anyone who works in the book world.
So vile.
Erm… yes, because they were so shit.
(Not-so-fun fact: for a while, I volunteered with a charity offering online reading sessions to looked-after children. We read a DW book so awful I worried it would adversely impact the kid. I told the charity I wouldn’t read him again with other clients 😬.)
No - he really was ghostwritten.
Hi both! Xxxxx
As a former editor of Popbitch – and the proud owner of a legal letter sent by HarperCollins, accusing me of being "highly likely to cause serious harm to [their former star client]’s reputation both as an individual and author” – may I just say: GET IT RIGHT UP YE
I’m sure more will come out anon. It’s been YEARS.
(Also: Merry Christmas!) xxxxx
Don’t let anyone tell you they didn’t know.
At long, long last David Walliams’ abusive behaviour has been publicly revealed - this is a screen grab of the Telegraph article about it.
At. Fucking. Last.
Oh, this did me good - thank you.
@bridgeanne.bsky.social Anne - look! ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Morning.
Both episodes have been brilliant, and illuminating. Thanks so much to all involved.
Extract from the Becket biography, mentioning the ’infinitude of knights or foreigners’ in the city.
The Becket biography on the goods brought into London ’from every nation that is under heaven’.
The general right-wing freakout about London as a multicultural city doesn’t stand up very well to … an actual awareness of history, does it? This twelfth-century text (William fitzStephen’s biography of Thomas Becket) sees it as part of what makes the city thrive.
Last week: we roll out the red carpet for a fascist.
This week: our Health Secretary has to go on morning television to reassure the public that, counter to that same fascist’s claims, paracetamol does not *checks notes* cause autism.
Gutted not to be at the anti-Trump march today. If you’re going - thank you! Please shout for those of us who won’t be there. No quarter for fascists.
There’s just no other way to describe this. It’s a man standing next to a cat. Which seems to be levitating. Neither party seems unduly concerned.
Please enjoy my mother-in-law’s painting, which I like to call ‘Man with Levitating Cat’.
Sky News headline: ‘More than 500 people arrested after Palestine Action protest - with almost half aged 60 and above.’
Yeah, not quite what I expected when a human rights lawyer became PM. Thought he might mind a bit more about genocide, but OK yeah, yeah , cool.
Herbs steeping is n cream & milk.
Annie Leibovitz’s 1984 photo of Whoopi Goldberg in a bath of milk.
Unexpectedly beautiful pommes dauphinoise prep making me think of Whoopi Goldberg.
