I've loved her books. If you haven’t read the Old Filth trilogy, you’re in for rare a treat. Line to line never a false note, and she had such a wondrous, unflinching view of character. Rip, great writer. #janegardam02 May 2025 23:10 +0000at://did:plc:ow7uh7mputo7ucsrz7f57gws/app.bsky.feed.post/3lo7x3iny7c2mhttps://bsky.app/profile/caroledgarian.bsky.social/post/3ln4liygczk2bEnding the week thinking of the folks in the various agencies, labs and offices whose jobs have been haphazardly cut or furloughed by the gratuitously cruel doge buzzsaw. How are they paying for their rents, groceries, kids? How are they dealing with the stress? We are better than this.18 Apr 2025 21:40 +0000at://did:plc:ow7uh7mputo7ucsrz7f57gws/app.bsky.feed.post/3ln4liygczk2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/caroledgarian.bsky.social/post/3lmxkgm4e4k2dTo ask teenagers from 55 countries to write of secrets is to be let into worlds that are heartbreaking & heart-redeeming. These are dark times, but these writers aren’t afraid of the dark.They use it to make art that is tender and wise.
