What the Dickens? Our Mutual Friend (my favourite book ever) - YouTube. Haven’t watched this video yet, but saving for later. Our Mutual Friend is easily my favourite Dickens novel, and one of my absolute all time favourite novels ever. youtube.com/watch?v=HKIG2UPlfl

Farjeon died in '65. You can read Martin Pippin in the Apple Orchard (legally in the US) here: digital.library.upenn.edu/wome It's a very hard to find book. I've only ever seen one copy, which I read and reread from my childhood library and then found in a junk store on a visit back, years after I'd moved away. My copy, from the old Centre '70 library. I can reach it from where I sit at my desk; it's one of those books.

“Regarded by many as the definitive cli-fi novel, Parable of the Sower 1993 by Octavia Butler imagines what our future could look like if we don't take swift and appropriate action to mitigate climate change.”

(first read this while Trump was President; the socio-economic world Butler describes seems prescient)

I love this specific genre of author portraits. Writers at work. Writers at their typewriters. Writers at desks, smoking fags. Sharing some amazing women writers here...

- Hope In the Dark by Rebecca Solnit

sometimes “nothing” is what victory looks like


tho recently i DID see something; a bogong moth for the first time in years and i was excited they are not yet extinct. so maybe moths and other insects are now a sign of victory rather than a nuisance 🤔

PS i have attempted to add ALT text please let me know if i have failed
