This is devastating but hard to think of more important journalism. 18,457 children have been killed in Gaza (many more not accounted for). Here, The Guardian prints their names and beautiful faces and tells us what they were like before Israel stole their lives. www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

Young lives cut short on an unimaginable scale: the 18,457 children on Gaza’s list of war dead

Every name on a list compiled by health authorities in Gaza of the child victims of Israel’s offensive

Freida McFadden are usually excellent reads! There's nothing worse than spending ages trying to find a good book, starting it then realising it's bad. So I was very happy when that book popped up in my TBR pile, now almost finished! 🤓

The author could have reached out to a Scottish person for advice, or even better, an editor who can work with Scots.

Jane @janecornwell.bsky.social · 20d

I'm reading, the author has a Scottish character & made a very bad attempt at Scots. It's so bad I can't be bothered reading any more 🙉 I feel the other characters regional accents should be attempted too, to be fair. Phonetic spelling London, Newcastle or Brummie accent? Accents fairly represented?
