@typejunky.bsky.social a while ago we had a brief exchange about what I should do with my father’s collection of slides of buildings (he was an architectural historian). Not unlabelled, as a feared, actually they are well organised. Here’s one box, S-T I think. You can see some names on the slides
I am not first and will be far from the last to say this: I have purchased so many books because I saw them recommended or publicized here on bsky. I cannot urge you all enough to KEEP TALKING ABOUT BOOKS. I know it's easier to talk up someone else's book, but this also means you, the shy author.
I have mentioned it before, so maybe, but I know others liked it too. Hooray for word of "mouth" (or post) for getting it seen.
A lovely memory of a summer in Connemara. My two little girls, aged 4 and 2 and a half, were each determined to "catch" a Connemara pony.
This thread.👌
I've got a new book coming out this month! I'm really proud of it, too. It's a beautiful thing, illustrated by Chris Riddell, and we both put in all the love and excitement for things that humans make, art and literature but also everyday things, like tea. shop.walker.co.uk/products/i-w...
Bill Bryson’s words seem appropriate to post right now
If Barack Obama had done this, every Sunday show would have talked about nothing else.

Reading Felicity Hayes-McCoy is like being invited into a curious mind & shown familiar things from a slightly different angle. A Winter Wedding is warm, wise & full of quietly shared nuggets of knowledge. I finished feeling comforted, entertained & gently cleverer. @fhayesmccoy.bsky.social 1/2
My beloved sister Rosie left us, after a sudden illness, 20 years ago today. She is so missed. Thinking of her husband and children. She'd be very proud of them & would be completely besotted by her 5 little grandchildren. We take some comfort knowing that people live because she was an #OrganDonor
75 years ago they were married. The wedding breakfast was in my Nana's. They were on an early train then to Limerick-NewcastleWest. Granfaad met them at the station with the pony and trap. Pop said it was the happiest time of his whole life - a sunny autumn honeymoon in Sugar Hill, Templeglantine.
I would be so grateful if everyone who sees this could give it a repost. Due to some unforeseen expenses, finances are tough, but I really do have a lot of positive stuff to offer. Website: www.joshuaseigal.co.uk Sending huge love to all @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social #BackToSchool #EduSky
Hearing Ella McSweeney on RTE Countrywide, asking the expert from Galway University whether coffee will be a luxury food by 2050 “All foods will be luxury goods by 2050”. It’s incredible that we are still sleepwalking towards this cliff. We need to start getting jittery about #ClimateCrisis
REMINDER: Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in now 73 days. Yet he still: •Has his job •Gets paid, and •Gets free world-class healthcare The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, & against guaranteed paid leave—gets all three as he needs it most.😐
Great book! Highly recommended and our preschool staff will love this.
“This book is a 'must have' for every early years setting and primary school. Helen Williams has created a beautiful resource, which will be invaluable in helping practitioners and teachers support and develop their children's play” THANK YOU @suecowley.bsky.social www.amazon.co.uk/Mud-Pies-Tal...
A favourite toy has been restored to his former self, thanks to the talented and caring staff at #LeithToyHospital. His "Mammy" will be soooo excited!!
This is a very informative piece on this awful tragedy and some of the likely impacts on the area and its people. My heart goes out to them.
There is a lot we don't know about the Nepal Tibet flood. Here are some things I suspect, as someone who studies risk just a couple hundred miles away: andrewrumbach.substack.com/p/seven-expe...
🚨 BREAKTHROUGH: MIT Professor Develop Technology That Could Detect Ovarian Cancer Before It's Too Late After losing loved ones to cancer, MIT Professor Angela Belcher developed a technology that detects ovarian cancer early, before it spreads.
Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.
