Someone make a movie with Jennifer Coolidge, Parker Posey and Catherine O’Hara. Not white lotus. Just the three of them at dinner talking and it’s fantastically bizarre?

Oh, perfect, he is accounting for the crime.

Paula @dotpaula.bsky.social · May 19

It’s good. But it’s bad. I feel a crime could be committed in the interim. Maybe it’s me…

My cartoon for this week’s @theguardian.com Books

Title: How to focus on writing your book

There follow eleven tiny images telling a story. The captions read:

Turn your devices off (a writer with a phone and laptop. The screens are dark).
Put them in a drawer.
Lock the drawer.
Throw away the key.
Leave the house.
Do not look back.
Keep to backroads and hedgerows.
Feel your old life slip away. (the writer has shed his clothes)
Sleep by day.
Forage in the evening.
Write by the light of the moon
When you have a passable first draft, commit a minor crime and use your phone call to contact your agent. (the naked writer is in a prison holding a phone while an unamused police officer looks on).

Thank you for your service Dr. Carla Hayden. We will rise again.

Senator Martin Heinrich @heinrich.senate.gov · May 9

BREAKING: President Trump just fired our nation's Librarian. My statement here:

President Trump fired our nation’s Librarian, Dr. Carla Hayden, by email at 6:56pm tonight, taking his assault on America’s libraries to a new level.

Over the course of her tenure, Dr. Hayden brought the Library of Congress to the people, with initiatives that reached into rural communities and made the Library accessible to all Americans, in person and online.

While President Trump wants to ban books and tell Americans what to read – or not to read at all, Dr. Hayden has devoted her career to making reading and the pursuit of knowledge available to everyone.

Be like Dr. Hayden.
