My piece in defence of the semi-colon: www.spectator.co.uk/article/the-...
The semicolon had its moment; that moment is over
The decline of the semicolon reflects a deeper cultural and intellectual laziness. We need to rediscover the power of punctuation.

Honoured to have had an early read of this incredibly important book and be quoted on the cover.
It’s a comprehensive exploration of representation in British children’s literature and the industry around it. It’s important and vital for anyone working in or with children’s books. /1

just stumbled on a real jaw-dropper of a line in an essay -- “The corollary of being interested in a great range of things is to have sympathy with a great range of outlooks” -- and that, my friends, is why reading is so important.

May this ceasefire be honoured. May the peace be lasting. May there be justice. Thinking of all those who are grieving, all those looking to the future. May that future bring joy.

I am a climate scientist and this is correct ⬇️
Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

Children are in a constant state of change, physically and psychologically, as they mature. It must be absolutely exhausting! Some children face even greater challenges in a society that may be less than welcoming. www.booktrust.org.uk/news-and-fea...
