After 6 days in palliative care, my lovely mom passed away w stomach cancer today. Grateful that I got to spend last night and this morning by her side, and was able to watch her take her last breath - painfree and peacefully. I miss her terribly already!

One thing that's been bugging me today: people who claim Dolly Parton wasn't political.
False. She was very political. Her art and life's work were about interrogating power + amplifying the powerless.
You only think she wasn't political because she did this by example, not bullshit slogans.

Tbh, I didn't think they'd be this united against Infantino's "plan", but good to see.
"In an extraordinary development all 55 Uefa members resolved not to participate in future World Cups or other Fifa-run events, saying in a statement that they “unanimously and unequivocally reject” the proposals" www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Uefa agrees to boycott Fifa competitions if World Cup sell-off plans proceed
Uefa nations have agreed to boycott all Fifa tournaments if the global governing body continues with its plan to sell off stakes in the World Cup

I miss the times prior to Brexit, when it was so easy, to order books from small Indies (both publishers and bookshops). These days, it takes a 2nd order from a bookshop in Ireland to get some new additions to my Bluemoose shelf. On the bright sight, 3 books will arrive here shortly (knock on wood).

Casemiro... the guy I met/had a training session with when I won the training days at Real Madrid, just scored a goal at the World Cup. Utterly bizarre. I'm still giggling every time I think about it.

When Torsten Woywod promotes his novel Mathilde und Marie, he really promotes the love for books and Indie Bookshops. Strange that it's been exactly 3 years since we were at this exact place to listen to his Leonard und Paul publishing journey. Time flies

Two scraps of cotton wool. #kakapo chicks Pakiki-A3-2026 and Wendy-A1-2026 in Wendy's nest on Anchor Island. These are two of the youngest kākāpō chicks from this year. The oldest is about 6 weeks older and ~15 times heavier! #kakapo2026 #conservation #birds #wildlife

Well today in AI scams targeting authors. I received an email claiming to want to include my book in a book club. Not only do all the photos of authors they claim to work with look AI generated but look at @colsonwhitehead.com and @zadiesmith.bsky.social and then look at these photos
