The Fahrenheit Thermometer in Gdańsk, in honour of the scale’s inventor, features two important design choices:
- What did Daniel Fahrenheit look like? We don’t know but we’re guessing “ripped”
- look we have to put Celsius on the scale as well or people won’t understand it otherwise

‘Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s prose is stirring if not always convincing. It gives the reader more to think about than the bland defence of neoliberal technocracy by centrist supporters of Macron.’

Horror writer Kalynn Bayron riffs on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein in her YA novel Make Me a Monster. Bayron spoke about challenging herself through her writing, and approaching horror as a reflection of society.
From the Clever Librarians Files.
One island. Two rival triads. Three meddling gods. Fate & her atrocities (NA, Romantasy, 95k) The war may be ending, but the storms are shifting more than the tides. A mind-reading spy will do anything to prove her worth—even kill the one man whose gaze doesn’t reveal his thoughts. She might be immune to his thought-sowing ability, but not to him. And the more she tries to get rid of him, the deeper he roots himself in her head. Poster includes: two snakes interlocked eating their own tails in a color blocking background.
She reads minds. He plants thoughts.
Cursed by fate, one locked gaze is all it takes—unless it’s each other. It should make killing the other and serving their triad easy. But nothing’s easy on storm-wracked Ravamyn: not the gods, nor the storms, and never the people.

‘You can put things in an essay that you yourself do not know. There is a library all around you. You take a book off the shelf, find the fact or the sentence and put it where it fits. It never belonged to you, you never really had it.’

‘I had felt what was going to happen in October 2024, coming down through Connemara, driving through one rainbow after another, drinking hot water and honey for a smoky throat. A swell of dread.’
