So surprised and touched that this happened yesterday. It's quite something that people are still talking about Paper Birds. Thank you so much @yearsofreading for such an exquisite review. And @TamworthReads, I hope you enjoy your journey through Kew Gardens...

Oh, what a time it was! Thank you @Damian_Barr and team for all the moments and memories. My heart was a little sore reading your email, but you made a beautiful thing and I know there are many more beautiful things waiting in the wings. All power and love to your pen, dear D x

Endings are not easy. We rarely get to choose them. But they're as important as beginnings and vital for new joys. So, it's time to say, thank you to ALL you readers & writers for making Salon so very special!
Fifteen years makes a good full stop.

It's lovely on the π§΅app. It's like I've been at an increasingly messy party where I can't hear what anyone is saying, and I can't find my friends, and now I've stepped out onto the balcony and there's fizz and stars and gradually, one by one, all the good people are appearingπΎ

My 9yo was so looking forward to his first overnight school trip tomorrow. Been planning dorms and toasted marshmallows for weeks. This morning he woke up with chicken pox and thereβs absolutely nothing I can do to make it better ππ«

After a crazy 24 hours on this site, full of troll pile-ons, here is today's mood. (And yes, I'm going to see Guardians of the Galaxy tomorrow). Love to all. Yes ... even you.

Cried at the polling station this morning as the old lady in front of me, who had struggled to walk there, was turned away. She had photo ID but not the right version. When I handed them my passport, they questioned if the photo was me. Horrible atmosphere. #election2023 #VoterID
