Please I am begging you. Write grammatically fucked up fics. Make disproportioned drawings. Produce things that will haunt you to your grave for how ugly you think they are. It’s still better than any AI content, because it’s yours. It’s still art, because it’s /you/.

With all the research released this week regarding children reading for pleasure here are 4titles that got our children reading this week! @hamdesign @kevtsang @kwebberwrites @DanSmithAuthor tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com…
This is so sad. Reading of all kinds is so important. Comics, funny books, non fiction - let kids read whatever they’re drawn to and the rest will sort itself out. Reading should be fun 💛
“With children and young people’s enjoyment of reading at an all-time low, and high numbers leaving primary and secondary school without the reading skills they need to thrive, the futures of a generation are being put at risk”
