For all ages I hugely enjoyed this trip to the 1980s with a fantastic group of kids saving the world - Mystery of the Midnight Cartographers by Barry Nugent www.runalongtheshelves.net/blog/2026/3/...
Is this also possibly an ill to lay at the feet of Crufts?

Antichef points out that "plum" used to refer to basically any kind of dried fruit, not specifically plums. Which is why plum pudding doesn't have plums in it.
It's funny to think of linguistic drift in the context of recipes and measurements.
does anyone know this story?
the corporate form actually dates to ancient Rome, where the idea - of an organisation being treated in law as a single person - gave rise to the creation of universities and colleges, guilds and political parties
*sends psychic hugs*
I’ve jsut dropped my pepper grinder INTO the bowl of eggs I’d JUST whisked up in preparation for omelettes. How’s the start of *your* weekend going? 😅
😍😍😍
The House of Lords Digital & Communications Committee just published their report on AI, copyright & the creative industries, and their conclusions could not be clearer.

On the blog, @trip.bsky.social spills all the tea about running a Kickstarter. His new one *just* launched (find a link there)! So you get advice *and* an opportunity to take part in an older publishing model that now offers swag along with the book!

Don't forget submissions for They Are Still Here close at midnight on March 21st, so you've got a smidge over 2 weeks to get your story in!

I got this one for Christmas! <3
Another case of why good sampling matters. Saving for the Research Methods class.
It’s World Book Day 2026! So what better way to celebrate than to help a new (queer AF) fantasy novel come into the world?
Think Drag Race meets a gay Game of Thrones meets Zelazny’s Amber
This one is for all the people with toxic family…and a NEED for freedom

Done.
The Next Stretch Goal: Who wants to hear me read/record a no-frills audiobook version!?

Wow! So we hit double the funding goal for THE FALL OF THE HOUSE OF VALENZIAGA on Day 1!
That means…Stretch Goals! Here they are (yes, we’ve already unlocked the first one - Chapter Header Images, woo!)
As ever, these will be HUMAN ART!

This was such a fun conversatiom!
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY @trip.bsky.social
The Kickstarter for We've Always Been Here is live!!
Back for the merch pack and you'll get 3 stickers I've drawn for the project! 😁
LOOK AT THAT COVER!!! 😍😍😍
UPDATE: I wrote to my MP - Matt Rodda (Lab, Reading Central - former Shadow AI minister) - about this.
Amid many warm words, he said the government's position was that creators could "reserve their rights": effectively, the old opt-out model. He also urged me to take part in the consultation...

There aren’t any early bird tiers for this campaign, so far as I know! I suspect it’s confusion over the first two tiers being odd numbers compared to the rest of the tiers, but actually those will be the ebook prices for the whole campaign! You’re all good, you’ve def got the right tier already. <3
High drama AND high camp? We love to see it.
Always happy to cheer on a @trip.bsky.social page-turner!
VALENZIAGA has *very nearly* DOUBLED the initial funding goal in 12 hours!
Blown away! Thank you all again!
Keep spreading the word, keep pledging, let’s start seeing double!
Stretch Goals will be announced tomorrow, once I’ve had a chance to sleep! 😅
