This amazing online event is happening tomorrow, Tuesday, April 21st. Susanna Clarke, @amalelmohtar.com, Gregory Maguire and I will be talking about fairy tales, fairy lore, and fairy tale literature for the @britishlibrary.bsky.social. Please join us!

I’d work out 5 days a week & learn rock-climbing & silks & take dance & blacksmithing & pottery classes & see so many birds & read so many books

I can say, having been to the one in Montreal (only my 2nd time seeing her, last in 2015) that it was truly magical & cathartic & magnificent, & her voice is indescribably precise & soaring, & I'm so glad I was able to make it, but also this specific album has marrow-deep significance to me

I imagine there has to be at least some overlap between people who are NHL fans & people who are Florence + the Machine fans & I just want to know how they’re doing rn

Jail Support 101 | Brooklyn Public Library Abolitionist organizer PL leads a practical workshop on how to support people who have been arrested and how to build community-based jail support networks.Registration is encouraged, but not required...

I wanna talk very briefly about jail support, what it is, and how important it is.

Jail support isn’t really for folks who want to put in an hour a month and call it a day. It requires more commitment than some other volunteer options. But it’s both very important and very meaningful work.

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”
