Looking at photographs of tattoos on attractive people because your main character has tattoos and you want to describe them accurately counts as research, right? Asking for… um… me… 🤭 #writing #amwriting #writer
Reading Paradise Lost… any hints or tips on how to get the most out of it? Thanks #ParadiseLost #literature #reading

Occasionally known as Wednesday.

My selection from the excellent @marlowbookshop I’ll be busy for a wee while now…
Another successful trip to @marlowbookshop where I always find something (actually several somethings 🤭) to buy ~ a great selection and friendly staff. I even learned how to pronounce Goethe ~ when you’ve only ever read and not heard a name, it’s difficult to get it right 🙄😊
I love this feature on @lithub where they collect various reviews of books and give you the overall rating of it and you can look at the book and see who raved about it and who panned it ~ and everything in between… fits my nosey nature 🤭… bookmarks.reviews/category/n…

I just love this.
I love the professionalism & commitment of the dancers.
I love their determination to carry on through the most tragic moment of the dance.
But we all know everyone is watching the cat…🤣🤣🤣
An excellent article about our relationships with books… and heartbreaking that these books were destroyed rather than let individuals take them 🤔🥺yalereview.org/article/sheil…
I wonder if anyone is available to mark/comment on/provide feedback on essays I’m planning? I’m following an A Level Religious Studies syllabus and focussing on Philosophy of Religion at the minute.Any ideas/support would be useful. Thank you #ReligiousStudies #essays #philosophy
Look what I bought yesterday. I couldn’t help myself… I blame @marlowbookshop for having such a great stock of books ☺️☺️

BREAKING: The racist White House has used AI to edit a normal photograph of Minneapolis church protester Nekima Levy Armstrong, making her face crying and ugly.
Did the White House care to state why they are manipulating photographs of people, as their DOJ arrests them on trumped up charges?
I hope she sues the hell out of the government.

This was the headline from the Daily Mail re Angela Rayner/Stamp Duty.
Right wing media hypocrisy for all to see.
Nigel Farage blames being computer illiterate for his 17 breaches of the MPs code of conduct. BULLSHIT.
HE SHOULD RESIGN.

I'm not sure why Farage has been let off for this? Why is there some sort of protection around him? Angela Rayner was crucified and lost her job for less..£384,000 isn't a mistake.
We never did get a proper investigation into how his girlfriend could afford an almost £1m home either.
If that had been another party MP then the media wouldn’t have stopped until they got blood.
