Away for a long weekend, and enjoying frequent and vital updates from home about this adorable little clown

Having a splendid long weekend in York, where I've also discovered my spiritual home

My travel companion today is charming and thoughtful: thank you to @rhiannonlucyc (bonus points for a front cover image that could be me and my own little ghost-cat)

Loved this! In recent years I've tried to move away from proving my 'originality' (whatever that means), or worrying about what I 'can’t, won’t and shouldn’t engage with' in favour of just giving things a go and enjoying myself - can certify that life is so much more fun now

Publishing this very wise, very useful book in the UK is one of my career highlights. Can't wait to introduce readers in October.

Happy belated publication day to this brilliant book, and its author, our favourite 'belligerent academic'

This appalling judgement will deny 3 children their mother for the duration of her time spent incarcerated. A terrible day for women’s rights & maternal health in the UK. Unbelievable. theguardian.com/world/2023/jun…
