I love books, they enrich my life tremendously in many ways, but I’m always baffled by the amount of people who will apologise to me for not reading more! Mate, I promise it’s fine! I don’t go down to the gym and apologise to them for not lifting more weights!

You actually don’t have to read books if you don’t enjoy it, reading is a hobby for fun, it isn’t inherently a morally superior way to absorb information/stories and you are not automatically a better person for doing it 🤷‍♀️

Once upon a midnight dreary
As I pondered murder, weary
How could witnesses be hearing
Speech of Turkey, Minsk, Japan?
Suddenly there was a knocking
At my door - its shadow shocking
The killer, here, to knock my block in!
Ohhhh. It's an Orangutan.

I simply cannot believe the level of shrugging, lackadaisical incompetence from the people I am paying over a month’s salary to just to sort out what is a very straightforward and common legal procedure

the country is going to hell in a handbasket, but when it comes to Bread & Circuses...well, no-one can afford bread anymore, but we DO have a hell of a circus, and I for one welcome this distraction from reality

The UK is within spitting distance of having more murders portrayed annually on TV shows and movies set in the country than occur in real life

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 8d

It's so incredible how low homicide rates are in Europe. The UK, with a population of 70 million people, had fewer than 600 murders in 2023.

Tragically I’m now like an animal raised in captivity that can’t be released into the wild…no longer able to fend for myself outside of the library environment…

I do actually love my job, I just wish I was paid about twice as much to do it 🤷‍♀️
