Hi ha una ruta de escultures de lleons i lleones per South Yorkshire aquest estiu, per a recollir diners pel hospital d'infants. Aquí la que està dedicada al llibre #Kes de l'autor local Barry Hines.
Another great 21stC Catalan author with work translated into English is Irene Solà. #WITmonth I really enjoyed "When I sing...", a mysterious, magical, surreal story set in the Pyrenees and narrated by not just humans! Here's a pretty good review: readingtheworldswomen.wordpress.com/2023/04/03/p...
#WITmonth The play An Triail was translated from Gaelic into English by the author herself, Máiréad Ní Ghráda. A young single pregnant woman in Ireland up against everything - family, establishment, Church, patriarchy. The play is really well structured and has a strong message - even more so... 1/n
#WITmonth Three of Eva Baltasar's books have been translated from Catalan into English (translator: Julia Sanches); the two in the photo, Boulder, Mammoth, and also her first novel Permafrost. I read these 2 earlier this year, tough (sometimes cruel and violent) stories of women in difficult... 1/2
#WITMonth Goodbye, Ramona (translated by Maria Cristina Hall and Meg Berkobien) and The Time of Cherries (trans. Julia Sanches) are the first two parts of a trilogy (but can be read separately) by Catalan author Montserrat Roig. Seems that the 3rd part (The Violet Hour) may be translated soon... 1/2

I was wondering why I’d got 19 clickthroughs from The Daily Telegraph…
Buscant una llibreta per apuntar coses a casa mons pares, he trobat això (física de Batx) de fa "uns anys". Com que estudiava poc, només m'ha calgut treure 2 fulls ratllats, i llibreta nova 😅
vatros sou molt joves però fa uns anys lo muskrat també va tirar un cotxe a l'espai, o sigui més brossa, i tots vam aplaudir 🤦♀️
Neon Genesis Ewangelion@ewacat.bsky.social · 17h agoBeen getting annoyed about how coverage keeps putting a positive spin on SpaceX debris crashing into the moon. Yeah scientists are going to learn something from it because that's what scientists DO, they OBSERVE It's debris!!! They're LUCKY it's crashing into the moon, fuck their littering lol

És d'aqui on intentarem veure l'eclipsi (89%) si no va núvol*. Però puc confirmar que hi ha poc interès i coneixement del tema en el meu voltant i els mitjans gairebé ni l'esmenten encara. (*Reader, anirà núvol)

2026 and the press still don't accept we're humans with human shapes. (and it's a million times worse for women as the way the media treated the PM's wife showed last week)

Oh my god the dietician who is telling everyone in the White House to only eat steak and sauerkraut doesn't wipe his ass.
Does "respect for the dead" apply to misogynist racist paedophiles intent on generating hate towards others and with a history of domestic violence? Even the Guardian whitewashing it as "provocative" banter? 🤦
The Guardian@theguardian.com · yesterdayRod Liddle obituary
I’ve read a few of the eulogies. No. Sorry. Rod Liddle was still an evil prick.
Drawing created by Danielle Koren, c.1979, in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live. This drawing on scrap paper is very small, found among Edward Adamson’s files of personal correspondence which contain many cards & letters from individuals sent after release

Al jardí-hort comunitari que cuiden els mateixos veïns al meu poble natal, han triat el tema "boots" (botes) per aquest estiu, i molta gent ha deixat botes velles amb plantes etc. Aquest ha deixat, literalment, mig cotxe. Per què, estudiants de l'anglès?? Resposta a continuació... 1/2

This is a measured and damning thread from Sunder - you just have to continue reading past the first post which is obviously too much for some people.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 2d ago66 seems a young age for Rod Liddle to die. Talented comic writer, insightful about football.obvs took much pleasure in transgressing political correctness But just lied when caught being much more indefensibly racist+ sexist online in his Millwallmonkey persona www.theguardian.com/media/2026/a...
The Times, one of the leading voices when it comes to 'protecting women and girls' calling a man who assaulted his young pregnant girlfriend, said he would rape the kids if he was a teacher and called for child sex abuse porn to be legal, 'brilliant'
Dos per a la sèrie ocasional "Esglésies al meu poble natal que han tancat durant la meva vida"👏👍 La primera, Metodista, és on anaven els meus oncles fins q l'alcoholisme els va impedir sortir de casa. La segona, marca "Esglèsia d'Anglaterra", on ens portava l'escola un cop a l'any a fer lo de Nadal
