Hello!
Three years ago on this date we opened The Wedale Bookshop, fulfilling one of my lifelong dreams. Now, we have two bookshops in the beautiful Borders and I cannot believe how lucky I am. There have been bad times and a very many good times. Here we are, then, a bookselling team of four and soon to be more.
HUGE thanks to our regular customers and book groups folks - we appreciate every single one of you. Here’s to the next three years. Cheers. Gx

It’s coffee, by the way.

486) Superbot. Is it a Birdbot? Is it a Planebot? No, it's Superbot! A heroic robot that comes to the rescue in small robot sized emergencies. Stands up to bullies, helps ducklings cross roads, that type of thing. #SmallRobotsRemastered

Main side gig has just cratered. No worries, no hard feelings, is wot it is.

So I am looking for side gigs to keep the wolf from the door. Ideally ongoing ones, I need security.

So. High-end English language technical writer/editor/documenter seeks gainful part time work.

I learned a new word today, cryptogyny.

I’m going to have to sit with it for a bit.

It’s not that I was unfamiliar with the context. Practically anywhere you care to look there are women whose work has been ignored, hidden or stolen. Women who’ve not been given the credit they deserved, or very quickly been dropped.

I mean, I really would like to know why I never learned about Emmy Noether in school, right next to Albert Einstein, even though he recognised her genius.

Cryptogyny. Use it when you need to.

This is the second that made it through. It had stopped because I couldn't decide what mouths worked best, but when I opened it I decided the intense stare was sufficient, so I just added eyes to the background ones and declared it done.

Pizza is the greatest food ever invented.

Me: this is what evil is. This is how evil talks.

And another little scarecrow head done. Channelled a bit of Beaker energy for this one

Every country absolutely needs to have a disaster management plan in place that does not include any action whatsoever from the United States.

This includes a communication plan where the US will be actively spreading misinformation and disinformation to make up for dear leaders incompetency on top of the known bad actors from mostly Russia whose agenda is to weaken the rest of the world.

Any country that does not have a plan that absolutely excludes the US is being negligent at this point.

Communication plans must also not rely on corporate media. They are not our allies in the fight for global health. They are extensions of the capitalist class and if the solution to keep us alive threatens Q4 earnings.... Guess what is more important?

This is not a drill. I literally just defended a dissertation on how the media killed people during COVID. I have receipts.
