Every now and then it's nice to pick your head up from your book, reacquaint yourself with the world, take a hard pass and immediately go right back to reading. Balance is important 📚❤️

It should be illegal for insurance companies to leave people in the lurch when disaster strikes.

It's absolutely INSANE.

Why is it, when I show emotion or express and opinion that's not liked, mostly to a male, I get called an angry or crazy woman.?? 🤔

Charles Bukowski said it best:
doubt is the burden of the thoughtful. Confidence, unfortunately, often belongs to the clueless.

A Christmas gift from me to my fellow word nerds:

Nine Christmas-related words with interesting etymologies, one for each of the nine letters of 'Christmas'!

It was written with much linguistic love in an armchair beside a roaring fire.

Every book lover dreams of a secret library—not just for the aesthetic, but for the joy of being left alone. No interruptions, no small talk. Just peace, quiet, and the thrill of getting lost in another world!

Yes!!
I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

When parliament facilitates democide.

16m Britons live in poverty.

300,000 a year die awaiting hospital appointment in England.

2011-2020: 1m died due to poverty, austerity, and pandemic.

Last yr 111,000 Britons died in poverty.

Whose rule of law is it?

Whatever happened to the ‘rule of law’ in the UK?
Even if people can get access to the courts, at best they will get an interpretation of law, not justice.

Some things not to comment on this Christmas:

- someone’s weight
- someone’s size
- how much they are eating
- how little they are eating
- the speed they are eating
- the type of foods they are eating
- the times they are eating
- your post Christmas diet
- how fat you feel
