Urgh, email from Google workspace re the renewal for our business email... Price is going up to account for all the AI features they are introducing. I do not want these features... What are my options for moving to a different email provider without losing all my email?
We are truly blessed this Christmas
βI am so bored by AI. One of the things I love about the theatre is AI canβt do it.β

Thrilled to see GLADIATOR, GODDESS by @morganowen.bsky.social reviewed in @theguardian.com today. 'A bold, bloody, riotous sapphic romantasy.'

I was just thinking the other day, if a tech company popped up and promised it would never add any AI to anything, I would switch everything to them in a heartbeat... Anyone know one?

People are exhausted.
Our high streets, public spaces, whole communities left unloved.
Blaming migrants wonβt fix this.
Tackling inequality will. Tax the super-rich. Fund public services.

This book has had me on the edge of my seat for the past two hours. Beautifully gothic & horrifically macabre, this book is not for the faint-hearted. I have never felt such fear for a character before. I never saw the ending coming
Probably going to have nightmares 10/10 experience

Could we crowd source an empathy boosting reading list for this govt please...I don't think any of them are reading enough, they've lost all sense of compassion and humanity
A screen shot of an Instagram post from Waterstones showing the cover of the book INBOUND by Philippa Leathley and announcing it as their children's book of the month
Absolutely thrilled that INKBOUND by @prleathley.bsky.social has been announced as the @waterstones.bsky.social @waterstoneskids.bsky.social Children's Book of the Month for September
Book folk!!! Have you heard of SAIL Fest UK? It's a one-day event to "open up the discussions about the barriers and possibilities of South Asian childrenβs books in the UK" and will feature a bunch of amazing writers (and me): #KidLitUk #UKKidLit
Remembered I muted T****'s name when I set up my bluesky which is why I'm seeing lots of vague allusions to a rumour without any concrete rumor/info. It all felt a bit surreal before I realised.
@bbc5live.bsky.social it is shocking how much time you are giving this man who owns a luxury hotel and clearly has a Reform agenda.
INKBOUND by Philippa Leathley in paperback edition
Happy publication day to the paperback edition of INKBOUND: METICULOUS JONES AND THE SKULL TATTOO by @prleathley.bsky.social

People love it
Here is my 8th creation for alternative reads to David Walliams, this time focusing on The Beast of Buckingham Palace. These are ones Iβve particularly enjoyed but what else would you add? #kidlituk

This is why all the talk of whether it's accurate (it isn't), whether it's plagiarism (it is) etc are irrelevant.
We very literally cannot afford to use LLM 'AI's if we want a liveable future.
The ease with which techbros have bribed our gov into ignoring every scrap of evidence is terrifying
What a brilliantly imaginative debut novel from @prleathley.bsky.social !! #Inkbound Gripped from page one I loved the characters, the world building - this will be a stunning series with so much to explore - and I cannot wait for book 2. I absolutely loved it! @rabbits21.bsky.social
I'm actually not open to queries again until September 1st. Sorry!
