I am confused. Can someone explain to me how #ReadABookDay is different to any other day of the year?

Happy, happy Friday everyone.
Newt and Lemur play for the first time. At this point, they've known each other for only 24 hours

OMG OMG, I went off the interwebs for a few days, and the Laz family fostered new kittens!!! Follow him for excellent supply of wholesome tweets. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a whole lot of tweets to heart.

I am going to keep reposting this.
It should have been over when the first doll-sized corpse was picked from between the rubble, because that is when anyone, even the most hateful and fearful human, normally realises that nothing, not even the stinging soap of past horrors, can wash the blood off one’s hands.

Call me crazy but I want a society where everyone from the artist to the janitor is paid a living wage, where careers and creative hobbies aren’t being stolen by machines, where books and music and learning are celebrated instead of demeaned.

I had given up following the US prez campaign because it ate a hole in my stomach. Then one day I woke up & found my people were in favour (childless cat ladies), along with great memes. And now it's producing lines like this and oh boy, does it make me happy. Via @Davidlaz

Pritzker: "We have a choice between the man who left our country a total mess and the woman who has spent four years cleaning it up. And I think it's time we stop expecting women to clean up messes without the authority and the title to match the job."

I somehow dropped the pics when reposting this: that's me on the far right of the 1st pic. In the presence of greatness, starting with Prof Moyo, Deputy VC: Research, Innovation Postgraduate Studies at SU, and a mathematician pushing for gender equality in STEM fields.
