Things women in literature have died from.
Going outside at night in Italy and general bummers are my personal favorites.

simply unforgivable that elon is forcing me to either get hot (instagram), get annoying (substack), learn what a server is (mastodon), or become an actual psychopath (linkedin)

'You're like a pair of jazz musicians, forever improvising.'
Love and race come together in @CalebANelson's tender and emotionally complex debut about two Black British artists falling in and out of love. We have signed copies available to pre-order here: waterstones.com/book/open-wa…

In my opinion the Fawley books by @CaraHunterBooks are the best crime series being written at the moment. Adam is such a complex & fully realised character and this latest book features two intricate & fascinating cases. Out March. Thanks for sending @katyloftus.

I devoured this in one greedy sitting. Yes, I know celeb authors and publicity and all that - but trust me, this is really really good. Very clever, very subtle, very funny.

We regretfully & respectfully decline

All the heinous things that Bannon is responsible for and it’s a GoFundMe page that does him in.

Please share this video so the voices of victims of Domestic Abuse can soar. We must not make laws that leave them behind.
I am asking my fellow MPs to listen to the powerful stories of #SurvivorCampaigners. The #DomesticAbuseBill must do more to support&protect all survivors & their children #NoVictimLeftBehind #ProtectionForAll #LawInTheMaking #StepUpMigrantWomen @womensaid @lawrsuk @SBSisters

Writing this week's newsletter quiz. Slight rule change. You CAN play the quiz as a team of 2, but if there are 3 or more of you then you have to do the quiz in a park. Only 1 parent allowed per team, and quizzers in Scotland must wear a facemask. Sign up! bit.ly/2xImH6l
