All Her Lives - Ingrid Horrocks, 2025. Nine stories of women, across two centuries, spanning the globe & New Zealand. The stories are interwoven, names and places crop up again and again, making it feel almost like a family history, rather than a work of fiction. Award winning, and you can see why

A watercolour portrait of a sitting woman, a blue sky occupying most of the space behind her, with the small curve of a hill and some sprigs of grass towards the bottom. The woman is Pākehā, with her brown hair pulled back into a bun, and she wears an orange-red skirt and a loose white shirt with a collar. A mint green neck tie hangs down. The title sits in bold red text in the centre, reading 'All Her Lives', below this in delicate serif italics is the subtitle 'Nine Stories'. The author's name sits below this in blue; 'Ingrid Horrocks'

The fundamental, delicious paradox of studying history is that: 1. These people are radically different from me, and I may never properly understand them. 2. These people are exactly like me.

one tendency that comes out about period films is the insistence that XYZ moral thought would not have occurred to anyone in the ancient world. to be sure there are moral innovations and changes but the existence of thorough dissatisfaction with the present moral order is not a modern phenomenon

ACT are deliberately targeting disabled children in this and other policies. ACT want to enact harm upon our kids, freely and without recourse. ACT want to siphon money to overseas profiteers via institutionalisation and prisons. They will leave the rest of us all the poorer for it.

While obviously a 4.7 isn't a worrying quake most of the time, it is slightly confronting to realise you've just said to yourself "well, I'm not getting out of bed for anything short of a LEAST a 6"

A Parade of Horribles - Matt Dinniman, 2026. Its difficult to fault an author for reaching for the stars. Dinniman manages yet another rather readable book in the Dungeon Crawler Carl series, and I find myself with few complaints

On this book cover, a handful of curious creatures are being flung away from an explosion in a race track. One appears to be a largely human woman, one is a tumbleweed with a unicorn head and a rodent on it, while another is a sort of alligator person. A fourth is a brown Persian cat with sunglasses and a tiara, whereas the final is a white man with long brown hair, who is reaching out towards something. Text at the top of the page reads 'Dungeon Crawler Carl Book VIII', below which is the title 'A Parade of Horribles'. The author's name is at the bottom of the page, reading 'Matt Dinniman'

If everybody did this, even places where people can't mask effectively (restaurants, bars, etc.) would get safer for everyone because transmission would be lower overall. Audiences mask = performers are safer. Students mask = teachers are safer. We have fuckin' got to learn to help each other out.

The Eye of the Bedlam Bride - Matt Dinniman, 2023. More Dungeon Crawler Carl. Dinniman is doing a lot of building the world outside the dungeon in this one, and its paying off. As expected with the semiserial format, its ramped up the action compared to earlier instalments

The lower two thirds of this book is filled with the image of three figures. The rearmost is a sort of fleshy spider woman, with scraggly black hair. In front of her is a white man with a sleeveless vest and a bandana covering his face. In front of both of them is a brown Persian cat with a popstar's performance mic, standing in a conductor's pose. Two very colourful playing cards (of the Yugioh/Magic the Gathering type) fly out from her paws. Superimposed over the cat in white text is the author's name, 'Matt Dinniman'. At the top of the page is a line of text declaring this book to be 'Dungeon Crawler Carl Book VI', followed by the book title in yellow, which is 'The Eye of the Bedlam Bride'
