Reading enjoyment among children and young people has plummeted to its lowest level in almost two decades.

Just 1 in 3 now say they enjoy reading in their free time and even fewer are reading daily. The futures of a generation are at risk - we need urgent action now.⬇️

Chin up, team. Take some time. Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community.

There are a million ways to make a difference—get back in the fight when you’re ready.

And know that, whenever you are ready, I’ll be ready to get back in with you.

On the back of this thread, I got the opportunity to write about the desperate lack of books for teen boys in @thebookseller. Massive thanks to @mollyflatt for letting me write on an issue I'm hugely passionate about. Link: https://t.co/FIlfwzfMXd

So arrest them. I honestly don’t know what to do with weekly or daily stories each exposing yet another one of the worst crimes you’ve ever heard of, none of which result in even the attempt at the appearance of consequences.

*Me*: “have you read *Anne of Green Gables*?”
*Her*: “no”
*Me*: “girl, I am about to change your life”

Cannot express enough how disappointing it is that The Bookseller is giving this the time of day.

To geniunely make the industry more accessible, we must challenge prejudice such as this when we see it.

Solidarity to trans and gnc publishing workers this pride 💕

This indie film industry is FULL of wealth and privilege, they are the only people who are able to do this full time without another job. It is quite frankly appalling that we allow so much talent, and with it the cultural value of their stories, to be pushed out.
