Writers! Note that AI translation (under the guise of "global access") is being seen/used as the weak point to get AI into publishing (possible bc Eng lang publishing is weak on translation). Stand with translators & for more human translation, fairly paid!

OMG an escape from the Realm @sophiecameron.bsky.social, A Flash Of Neon *is* a true story after all 😅
Ha, this is brilliant!
Britain has no idea - in terms of its self-image, not economists obviously - what economy it actually has

Stunned to see that my debut Out of the Blue is on Kirkus's list of the Best Teen & YA Books of the 21st Century (So Far)! What a huge compliment to be featured alongside incredible books like A Monster Calls, Last Night at the Telegraph Club, and many others www.kirkusreviews.com/young-adult/...
This is such a sad loss – a phenomenal writer and by all accounts a wonderful person. Thinking of all of Alex's family and friends
My kids were setting out the rules for a game earlier and one specified "no eating tortilla de patatas while you play football". I want to know what he has witnessed to make that necessary
Always good when the authoritarian leader decrees who is and is not Jewish.
