In my job I read A LOT of children’s books. IMO many contemporary books lack theme, vocabulary and over all feel full of nonsense from the illustration to the language. So I thought to create an ongoing rec list if anybody at all is interested.

Astonishing that there are still boomers comfortably reassuring the world and themselves it wasn't industrial scale grooming, rape, and torture, it was "sex"
It was horrible, Paul. But it was a bit more complicated than that, wasn’t it ? Sex often is
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Rape of children is not "sex" .
There is nothing "complicated" about the fact that the victims of Asian grooming gangs were children and were ignored by authorities for years.

Sheep are central to the British mythic self-imaginary, possibly the only European country outside of the Balkans for this to be the case (in Ireland it’s very much cows instead)

You’re never going to find a place worth living that doesn’t have its own idiosyncratic and profound bleakness. Culture needs bleakness to create GOOD things. The ambient threat of the bleak creates culture like surviving blizzards or heat waves or tornado does
Less fair is summer riding high
In fierce solstitial power,
Less fair than when a lenient sky
Brings on her parting hour.
When earth repays with golden sheaves
The labors of the plough,
And ripening fruits and forest leaves
All brighten on the bough;

Amazing how often even conservatives look shocked when you point out that it’s a fallen world and their solutions probably won’t result in utopia either

Tell me how you got your cat because I swear God distributes them. You’ll just be going about your business and you end up with a cat one day. That’s how it works. That’s how everyone gets their cat. God entrusted you with a cat so now you have one. Holy cat distribution is real.

From now on, I'm instantly blocking any British person who unironically tweets 'y'all'.

Seems pretty obvious that we shouldn’t praise mental ill people that publicly kill themselves in incredibly gruesome and painful ways.

Maybe women have been endowed with a sense of silliness, so when her husband is a stressed ogre she can dance all goofy around him and he can finally laugh and relax.

I'm so sick of this shit. This is not a woman. These are #NotOurCrimes
BREAKING: A woman who filmed herself killing a cat before putting the animal in a blender has been jailed for life for murdering a man four months later

Haven’t been on Twitter really for well over a year. Had a very busy year. Got married, bought a house, learnt to drive. But I also started teaching a new year group so came back to Twitter to update my children’s book list with new ideas and also hopefully receive some also!
