ten million hardbacks

On my Chrimbo list! 🤞🏼

The bit where he said he was hiding it from the other boys in the squad really broke my heart. Do they feel like they can't show how they're feeling? I guess we've all been assuming they have support in place 24/7 but maybe they feel like they should be powering through and not asking for help.

Rushden & Diamonds match abandonment was the right response from the referee. Non-league deserves a better reaction. The idiotic opinions of social media meatheads have no bearing on football safeguarding in the real world

“It’s not weak or soft or ‘woke’ to stand up to this bullshit.”

You’ve probably heard about the non-league match that was abandoned after the female ref was abused. Now read the truth about the incident from somebody who was actually there (@chrisnee.co.uk)

Ten year olds at a birthday party bouncing around singing 'Oooooooh sometimes the truth is harder than the pain inside' not realising we were witnessing pop genius

When I met Craig he was 13 and homeless. I still thought his life might turn around. I was tragically wrong The long read: I knew he was running away from something. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered the truth

Reading this was like reading about my dad’s life, it’s an incredible read.

THE BOAT IN THE EVENING by Tarjei Vesaas. Translated by Elizabeth Rokkan. Peter Owen Classics.

Finished THE BOAT IN THE EVENING, and it's great! A book that makes you slow down and savour its sights, scents, and silences. More elusive and fragmentary than THE ICE PALACE and THE BIRDS, but infused with the same hypnotic, otherworldly feel. Thank you @andrewmale.bsky.social for recommending it.

I got asked for one recently by a company I'd freelanced with for ages but it is to do with financial stuff and are you bribable was how they justified it to me. Think it might also be coming from the end clients.

Seriously though, been thinking about the match all morning and how I can't believe they carried on like that. Wanna say to Xabi Alonso, 'Really fella?! You can do better than this.' It's not even the fabled Dark Arts, it's a shit pantomime. Embarrassing for the ref as well that he fell for it.

😂

Not sure that Real Madrid can feel any shame, but if they can, they should be feeling very ashamed.

The government when explaining public finances:
Well, we had to cope with a global pandemic and are still feeling the effects.

The government when discussing workplace sickness:
Pandemic? No mate, don't remember that.

“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis
