First up we were just mystified by the price ($119)... and then we read the label. Normalising violence against women - really @woolworths ? Is that what you want your corporate reputation to be?

I've almost left this platform - but this is what it's for. Connecting strangers in the middle of the night as the great British transport system disintegrates.

I’m not quite sure how to explain what’s happened tonight, because it’s still happening - but here goes… At 4:40pm I jumped on a train from London to Edinburgh.. It was comfy, it was quiet In hindsight, too good to last…

As the man says - it's a simple question. I'm voting yes because it's the decent thing to do.

The upcoming referendum seems pretty simple to me. Do we want Indigenous Australians to be recognized in the constitution? And do we want to accept their request to be consulted about things that affect them? I’m voting “Yes”. For more info click here: voice.gov.au/about-voice

Happiest of publication weeks to the brilliant @DoughtyLouise #BirdInWinter

It’s publication day and I couldn’t be more grateful to everyone at the amazing @FaberBooks - especially @LouisaJoyner @kte_be but many, many more as well. Behind each novel is a crew of talented, hard-working enthusiasts and I appreciate every one. Thank you.

A wonderful review for ‘A Bird in Winter’, richly deserved.

Well this is pretty much a dream review, thank you very much.

You can’t believe how kind the British are. Every morning, a van pulls up outside your house in Coventry. A friendly man brings you a freshly-baked flatbread to eat. It’s just for you,not anyone else in your family. Every afternoon he comes back to make sure you’ve eaten it. 1/

friendly reminder that this is the highest ANY australian team has EVER finished in the world cup. these girls are unmatched and they’ll come back even stronger next time.

Because of @TheMatildas there will be countless young girls who now know that they can grow up and be sports stars. You've broken records and captured our hearts - but above all, you've made dreams possible. And when you take on Sweden, we'll all be cheering you on.

Congratulations #Matildas You gave us so much joy, you went further than anyone has before. You are the nation’s pride, we will not forget this tremendous effort. Back stronger again next time. And not over yet, we now go into the 3rd place playoff, let’s take it! ✊

There are too many kids crying in this stadium. But no need. Don’t cry cause it’s over. Smile because it happened. They went further than any 🇦🇺 team before them. They captured our hearts, stopped us all in our tracks. We will never look back from here. We love you. #Matildas
