Just finished Your story matters by @nikeshshukla.bsky.social Enjoyed the sage advice delivered with humour, but maybe the nicknames even more.

Like the resistance starter packs are mostly white. The popular pods and newsletters? Mostly white.

Heaven forbid you give money to Black and brown independent journalists or activists because they might ask you to get involved at a level beyond “share this dumb meme of Elon and Trump kissing.”

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?

A close up on a chihuahua puppies face. He is brown and cream with big brown eyes.

Loki is still a pup (a year next month) but here's some from when he was an even younger pup. Don't be fooled by his sleepy demeanour, when he is wide awake he is a Tasmanian devil.

I’ve seen a few posts recently arguing whether audiobooks count as reading. For me, the important thing is people are able to access books in the way that best suits them, be it ebooks, audiobooks or physical books. Some people don’t get that access at all and we that do are the lucky ones.

Paige Thomas, 19, from Elton, has an innate talent for using food to regulate uncomfortable emotions – as opposed to actually feeling them.

“It’s absolutely foolproof,” Thomas told us proudly. “To be honest, I don’t see what could go wrong.”

All I want is a cottage in the Scottish Highlands, a raging snowstorm, and Agatha Christie novel, a crackling fire, a kettle on the stove, and a basket of emotional support pastries.

Often, my characters join me for a walk and clarify the things that were so unclear to me at my laptop. #adhdwriter #scottishhighlands #thesea #writer #adhd
