More serious: When my violent ex smashed my laptop, stole my money & would stop me finding work, the library was all I had. They helped me write a CV, find a job, a CAREER and leave that twat. Libraries aren’t just books, they’re escape, freedom, whole new worlds. #LiteracyDay

OMG. Proud to be a #PlayschoolBaby x
Presenting #Playschool 49yrs ago was one of the best and most important things I have ever done because it gave me the opportunity to create magic for future generations. They are now my #PlayschoolBabies many of whom are creating magic themselves today ❤️

me as a kid: wow I can't wait until we have robots and computers for everything me now: if this toaster makes me download an app I am slipping out into the night to start a new life as a mysterious figure occasionally glimpsed in the fog

just thought to myself that maybe I should change outfits between my daytime and nighttime plans and instantly felt years of Cosmo magazine kick in like activated sleeper cell training

I did not even know this superhuman feat was possible!
I have completed a tub of Sudocrem. It lasted 16 years.

"Mothers & babies welcome" That's what the sign says. Today is #InternationalWomensDay2025 . I begin it #grateful for Mary Lily Walker and all she did to make life better for the women of industrialised Dundee. This is her Nursing Mothers Restaurant.

It turns out that pets also have their own "last wishes" before they pass away, something only veterinarians who euthanize old or sick animals are aware of. A Twitter user, Jesse Dietrich, once asked a vet what the most challenging part of their job was. The vet responded without hesitation, explaining that the hardest part is witnessing how old or sick animals search for their owners before they fall asleep forever. Shockingly, 90% of owners choose not to stay in the room during their pet's final moments. They leave, unable to bear watching their beloved companion go. However, what they don’t realize is that these final moments are when their pet needs them the most. Vets are urging pet owners to stay by their animals' sides until the very end. "It’s inevitable that they will pass before you. Remember, you were the center of their world. They may have been just a part of your life, but to them, you were everything—their family. Even though it’s heartbreaking, don’t abandon them in their final moments. Don’t let them die alone in an unfamiliar room with a stranger. It’s incredibly painful for vets to see pets frantically searching for their owners in their last minutes of life. They don’t understand why they’ve been left behind, and all they need is the comfort of their beloved human. While veterinarians do everything they can to ease the fear and anxiety of these animals, they are still strangers to them. Don’t let your own pain make you walk away. Be brave for them. Endure that heartache, and stay by their side until the very end. They deserve your love and presence in their final moments. "💞🙏

Terribly sad news about Tony Slattery, he was so brilliantly talented. I was lucky enough to briefly meet him once too, and he was also incredibly kind and charming.

Like a bright yellow beacon in the dark winter, the second book in the Betty Steady series comes out next week! I hope you like it. I’m very proud of this book, partly because I wrote it while my little girl was a tiny newborn in my arms.
