Amazing! So many fabulous and intriguing maps here.
Thread of cool maps you've (probably) never seen before 🧵 1. All roads lead to Rome
I think I've contacted each author who has pledged to donate their books to Spellow Hub library, trashed by far-right rioters. If I've missed you, tweet me. If you'd still like to donate - the more bestsellers the better - tweet or DM me. #ReadingNotRioting
After eleven years, it's time to update my London Underground concentric-circles-and-spokes map. Completely redrawn from centre to edges, it's so much better than before, and more geographically accurate than the official map.
I’ve been preoccupied as I live in a part of Brum that has lots of Muslim families and I’m keeping my eye out in case the far right decide to walk down our street. But having seen several statements from Christian leaders, there are some things I think need to be said. A 🧵:
Thread on alternative views of iconic landmarks you (probably) haven’t seen before 🧵 1. The worn steps of the Tower of Pisa
Oh for heaven’s sake. I am not surprised, but my level of disappointment is high. Without The Arts my life would be very different, and more grey and boring.
The Conservative Party has announced a plan to shut down university courses based partly on "future earnings potential”. 1 in 8 students could see their course closed, with funding diverted to apprenticeships. We’re concerned about the implications for arts education. (1/6)
This made me tear-up. Oh, and I have ordered the book from my local book shop.
I want to tell you a story about last night and kindness, so settle in or move on depending on your inclination. A little while ago I wrote a book called #Footmarks and was invited last night to the @Hatchards ‘Authors of the Year’ reception. Invited - I assume - by mistake.
We are thrilled to announce the @oscarsbookprize 2024 Shortlist! We can't wait to discover who will be this year's best picturebook from this incredible selection! #OBP24
The Scottish Government has found £175k for Gaelic Development Officer jobs in the short term. The final chance for a language has been calculated at about half the going rate for a house in Tiree. 👍
Working with a client on a picture book ms. last night, I pointed to the last sentence in the first para. "Why is this here?" I asked. "It doesn't come up again, and it wraps up your story right at the beginning." The client replied, "That's the sentence that AI wrote." [1/3]

This makes me sad. It is really important to get the title of a work correct. And when an error is made, a decent apology and a remedy should happen in a timely manner.

A bit rough around the edges in v. busy first full week back at school/work, but while bandwagon's rolling, here's a little musical parody setting the #PostOfficeScandal & #MrBatesVsThePostOffice to a @BonnieTOfficial 🎶classic. We're calling it: "They Should Be Cleared, Though!"
Holding on tight to the peace I garnered from a day at Diocese of Chester retreat centre at Foxhills on Monday. Loveday Alexander spoke on the Good Shepherd. Inspiring and thought-provoking.
KATE GREENAWAY MEDAL Lecturer, historian & librarian, Dr Rose Roberto, and I have created a petition to request the restoration of Kate Greenaway's name to the illustration award. Read our piece & sign the petition here: ipetitions.com/petition/bring… 🎨Please share #KateGreenawayMedal
Scarily accurate! This could actually happen!
The lack of available NHS dentists in this country should be a national scandal. Please RT if you agree.
OMG. From October my NHS Dentist is going private. I have spent hours trying to find a Dental practice taking NHS patients. There are none. @Conservatives This is on you. I hate you all.
Wow! 25… love this book.
Skellig is 25! The beautiful new edition, with wonderful art by Tom de Freston, is published next week.
