Do we think books should have a trigger warning for crap writing?

Barely have the energy to engage on anything political in my own country.
Just keeping my feed 'book-pure' as far as possible.
And movies. And music, TV and art. And culture and history. And tea. Pet pics too, obvs

Ok *sighs* so I think I've muted all the U.S. politics feeds that seemed to be automatically directed my way. (Muted because some are definitely from 'the good folks trying to fight the good fight' but it just exhausts me even reading about the Giant Orange's asshattery.) Sorry (and a bit not sorry)

First day at BlueSky. Seems nice here.
Happy to chat but will probably just listen you guys for a while until I get the hang of it if thatโs ok.
So, yeah. . . hi.
