@penny_author Yes indeed. I've written about this incident a lot, in my nonfiction and fiction. I don't believe his stepmother was as guilty as they say, but she was accused of far worse in the course of her long career! I'm back with this story for my new book, out next year 😊

I've been writing about this incident a fair bit lately - this is supposed to be just moments before Edward the Martyr was killed at Corfe in 978. See if you can spot the guy who did it. Hashtag-not-shifty-looking-at-all...

日本人の先生でも同じように教えます。南京事件(南京大虐殺)が起きたことは歴史学の定説です。文部科学省が検定した教科書にも載っています。娘さんは正しい歴史を教えてもらって良かったです。
いなり王子・坂梨カズ@inari_oji

昨夜、娘から衝撃的な発言があり急遽家族会議をしました…。 娘曰く「日本人に見られるのが恥ずかしい…」と…。 なぜなのか問いましたら「歴史の授業で南京大虐殺を知った」と。 娘はインターナショナルスクールですので、私は「それは日本人の先生から教わったの?」と訊きました。 すると、「IGCSEのカリキュラムの中でイギリス人の先生から教わった」と…。 ※IGCSE(Cambridge IGCSE)とは、14〜16歳(日本の中学〜高校1年)を対象とした世界的に認められた中等教育修了資格です。 イギリスが中心で、この後にIBやAPなどに進みます。 家内が「そんなこと、していないのよ!」と言いますと、「ママやパパの頃は事実が分からなかったのよ」と… 私から、「1985年に南京大虐殺記念館が中国でオープンするまでは、南京事件って言って中国も騒いでいなかったんだよ」と言っても「それは日本の視点で、世界からは違うよ」と…。 衝撃を受けました私は、添付の記事(日本のメディアではなくNYタイムズ)を見せて、冷静に虐殺する合理的なメリットがないことや、中国のプロパガンダの特性などを話しました。 蒋介石の行動や、南京での日本軍と現地の方のスナップ写真なども見せました。 娘はまだ半信半疑のようです。 私が心配しているのは、上記の内容を海外の教育プログラムに入っていること…。何とかできないか模索中です。

@BookSpotlight I've not been reading much. On the other hand, my writing has increased. Swings and roundabouts (though really I don't think the 2 are all that related).

I’m frustrated at how little I’ve been reading lately, so I’m going to make a goal of reading and reviewing at least one book a month for the rest of the year. Far from my best, but gotta get back on track somehow. 🙈 So I’m starting with The Pariah! Anyone else read it? 👀👀

I struggle to see how any Westerosi king can be seen as particularly competent, considering Westeros never had a robust state, legal system, or vision. Despite high medieval aesthetic, it's almost anglo-saxon otherwise. Not even the level of William II. Maybe William I at best.

To be fair, GRRM detailed a warts-and-all account of the long reign of one of "Good" kings and now most of the fandom is convinced he was awful

Now that Book Five (The Promise of Scars) is out, I've been back to working on Book Six in the Red Kingdom series (title TBD). Since I paused Book Six to finalize Book Five, I've been using the time back to do a round of editing on the 85% of the book I have written in Book Six to remind myself the finer details of what it's about. In just a few days, I'll be done with that editing pass, fully caught up where I left off writing, and I'll be writing fresh words for the first time in months (you can follow my progress on my website 👇🔗). I can't wait to add to the tally number on my profile. Almost to 2 million words total and still working toward my 3 million word goal. Things are happening!

@capsulebutt Doesn't the PM in Love Actually rebuke the president in part because he's a sex pest? Doesn't sound like something from the real world.

@ITVNewsPolitics If you held up a sign saying "I support Ahmed al‑Sharaa", you wouldn't be arrested, despite his long record of actual murderous terrorism, but if you did the same for PA you would be arrested.
