Thank you @londonlitlab! Headlines is available for purchase now from Amazon, in print or digital version. It's a genuinely big deal when people buy my book and I'm being very uncool about it.

I'm in America! Baltimore County at my cousin's house, more specifically. Here are some sketches I did (discretely) at a local pool, including a flock of teeny tiny sparrows having a sand bath

@Lilydunnwriter How sad, I don't think I realised that.

[SJLyon @sj_lyon]

Having the unique memoir whiplash of being moved to tears by the last page, looking up the author because I want more of his story and crying again to learn he died, young, just a few years after publishing this incredible book.

A perfect read for anyone who watched the Netflix documentary and wants to learn more about the stories that were missed out, as is @Lilydunnwriter's memoir

Getting really tired of hearing the media/politicians use the word 'thugs.' It never used to bother me but today it feels like a feeble word for cruel, violent racists.

This documentary is a vital piece of work-whatever your views on the subject please take the time to consider those of @thelizcarr and others. Aside from anything else the film is very moving and surprisingly uplifting

Today you’ll hear a lot about assisted suicide in the news

But you won’t hear a lot about the considerable secular opposition to assisted suicide

My @BBCOne documentary Better Off Dead? explains why many of us say NO to assisted suicide
