I have a policy at work that prevents me from accepting anything bigger than a promotional keychain.

Ethics experts worry about the implications of Trump accepting Qatar's luxury plane

I’m reading this book on how to influence people, but it turns out that having been a bartender, volunteer coordinator, teacher, AND parent means this book’s got nothing on me. Motivating the unwilling since the 00’s 😅🫠🙃🤪

Sometimes you can just tell when a pb is a labor of love, and Escape Room Adventures by Alex Woolf and Siam James is for sure 😍. We loved its puzzle/choose your own adventure format. Re-readabilty x 1000!

I really like when agents do this. It’s a system which is nice for both agent and querying author.
I've decided to adopt a system of being open to queries the first 15 days each month. It's automatically set in Query Manager to open and close to queries. So if you miss the current open period, don't worry because I'll be open again 2 weeks later. www.querymanager.com/michellewitte

I just sat on the bus with a little boy who was singing,”Spring is coming soon. Nooo coat! Nooo gloves! Nooooo jacket! The flowers are almost here!” Hope it brightens your day as much as it did mine.

Lots of scientists have signed this letter, but it's open to the public too. If you think our children should receive an education that equips them for a world affected by climate change, please consider signing it.
We'd be in a better position now if our generation had received such an education.

The government's preferred proposal on #CopyrightAndAI will have a crippling effect on the UK's creative industries.
So, if you're NOT a creative, but you value the arts and like living in a country that has a healthy creative industry and can spare the time to object to this proposal, please do!

If you haven't - please do fill this in. If you are a creative of any sort. The ALCS guidelines are very useful as the questions become more impenetrable. Also - you don't have to answer it all. www.alcs.co.uk/news/your-ri...
Your rights are under threat from AI. It’s time to have your say!
The Government recently launched a consultation on AI and copyright. Now is the time to have your say and make sure that legislators hear the concerns of creators.

Sometimes I fret about what I’m doing with my life. Even on vacation, I struggle if I’m not productive.
But I drew a potato today, so there’s that.

Did you know, that if you learn CPR in Sweden, they tell you to use the song “Here comes Pippi Longstocking” for chest compressions? For real.
