Jon was the kind of man that when a random woman walks into their shop and says sthg along the lines of “I really love books and your shop: can I work here?”, he wld just say….Ok.
Kind, patient, really fucking random and erudite. The exact bookseller you need.

Lino Print of the Week, and we’re gearing up for Global Champagne Day on Friday 🍾
I’ve done everything I planned to do this morning, including taking the teenager to Cheshire Oaks for his first Levi’s, a Converse hoodie, a burrito, and some Cadburys outlet chocolates. I did refuse to buy him the Radiohead vinyl for FORTY FIVE POUNDS however.
So can I watch new Slow Horses now?
She said what she said. I was absolutely on my vigilante shit. (V proud of you for yr contemporaneous Midnights reference there, Lucy.)
Threads admin told me I should be more supportive of yet another misogynistic NYT reporter shitting on the new Taylor album. So I amended the “fucking idiot” to “f*cking idiot” and was thoroughly supportive of women in music.
If I do a quick add-up in my head now, I calculate we have approx 7 blankets dotted around the house at any one time. Seven. They shrug them on and off like kings shrugging off robes for their courtiers to catch.
The 10yo lives permanently in football kits. Under a blanket. Bcs he’s cold….

The Tories want me deported for going on maternity.
Here Lam explicitly sets out her proposal - which is official Conservative Party policy - to deport long-standing legal permanent residents who have *ever* claimed any benefit, including the state pension or child benefit (even if the child is British), or who earn less than £39K.

People who have come to the United Kingdom legally, played by the rules and made it their home do not need to “go home”. This is their home.

I've written to Kemi Badenoch to give her the chance to reject these divisive calls from her frontbencher Katie Lam.

I sat in the British Library reading League of Empire Loyalists, BNP & National Front literature for my book and even they claimed to promote *voluntary* repatriation. Forcible deportation was always the ghost behind those ideas, but it’s amazing that UK politicians don’t even bother to hide it.
To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

The draft legislation is crackers. It would fail immediately if we stayed in the ECHR but it disappears the human rights act. if passed after that it would involve mandatory loss of ILR for up to 400,000 people + refusal of 2-3 million others, though without no credible means to identify or remove

I confidently predict that people who profess to be outraged by, say, the removal or destruction of statues honouring slavers and other racists because "history something tradition something something" will be completely silent about this abomination.

JUSTICE FOR HONEY
The Life of a Showgirl” has demonstrated exceptional performance, with all tracks with the exception of ‘Honey exceeding 100 million streams on Spotify.
When you can make @nigella.bsky.social’s minestrone (yes it is raining and gloomy) by memory alone, and yet still have to go back and read the intro bcs it’s so satisfying.

FUCK YEAH TURTLES
Green sea turtles are making a comeback in the Pacific: nest counts on Australia’s Heron Island have risen, and populations across the Pacific now meet IUCN recovery thresholds, thanks to decades of protection, turtle-safe fishing, and community-led conservation.

It’s spooky season, but let’s not make it scary for wildlife! 🎃👻

Fake web decorations can trap and injure our garden wildlife. Stick to sustainable, indoor decorations and let real spiders do the work outdoors!

I remember in the pandemic, the panic we had around retraining for phone/video call counselling and counsellors virtually dismantling their Alexas before sessions.
Now we have… this….
