Rowbi-Wan Kenobi🎧🎚️🎛️📻

ma'am, respectfully, genX did all that with no internet access we hand wrote those 12-pages using fucking encyclopedias and zima siphoned in a sprite bottle

I absolutely adored this read by @BlairBraverman and can highly recommend it: nytimes.com/2026/03/18/mag…

@stationmum101 This is fucking horrific, omg

Get the NBBC pod wherever you like to get your pods. Get The Mother of All Calamities at your local independent (or locally owned) bookstore. And be a legend. Ping @AllenAndUnwin

the writing and process behind her debut novel, The Mother of All Calamities. Plus: Are cats better than dogs? (Both ✅) Row has some advice for people wanting to travel to regional Victoria via V-Line (do it!) and Cec talks about Jon Hamm's new TV series, Friends and Neighbours.

Last year, me and Cec did an episode of No Books Book Club with Lisa Moule, when she was deep in the trenches of writing her second book. Her first was with the publisher getting ready for bookshops. IT'S NOW OUT! Delighted to re-up this episode where we can hear all about 🧵

My best tip for anyone trying to get back into reading is to remember that you can read books to avoid other responsibilities in your life, and it can become a vice if you play your cards right.

@oliviakrolczyk_ Why are you being the bully? Bullying a child? Bullying a minor? You’re very weird and creepy. You’re the problem.

“You wouldn’t want your own kid to be bullied” If my son puts on makeup I’ll be the first one to bully him. Boys don’t wear makeup. Boys don’t act like this. Stop gentle parenting.

Trash Day has been announced. Co-op adventure game where you and your friends play as raccoons scavenging junk. Made by ex-Rocket League developers. The game supports up to 4 players online and is coming to PC via Steam.

@KimKatieUSA Oh wow! Thats so intense! Glad it all ended up ok.

Insane dog sled moment: one woman grips her runaway sled for dear life as the dogs bolt, then her competitor jumps off her own sled mid-race to grab the lines and save her. Gutsy move by her competitor to jump off and help her stop her dogs.

Finally, the Moan Zone is jettisoned for reader suggestions and we managed to stay on theme with a discussion about 'poo balls'. Get it wherever you like to get your pods, or find us via Linktree: linktr.ee/nobooksbookclub

We have a yarn about Mad Mabel by Sally Hepworth, which got on Row's radar via the Birds of a Feather book club. Cec has been reading Do We Deserve This? by Eleanor Elliott Thomas. We also touch on the wisdom that comes with age and the rapidly growing Women's Sheds movement.

Naughty bunnies, book reviews, poo balls and women's sheds ⏰This week on No Books Book Club pod, Cec and Row were naughty bunnies this week and conveniently forgot that this podcast is actually called the No Books Book Club, and both brought books to discuss. 🧵 @ceceliaramsdale

@Markmanson @HannahDCox This.

@HannahDCox Suicides stopped being publicly reported because research found a measurable social contagion effect — ie. publicizing suicide leads to more people committing suicide.

I have a genuine question. Why does nobody just say the cause of death anymore? Particularly when it’s a young person who dies unexpectedly? This used to just happen when it was due to su*cide (and even that was odd to me but I attributed it to the shame loved ones feel when that happens). Now it’s like the norm and it just makes people assume it’s su*cide when it’s not… If you’re announcing the death online it’s to inform people who know the person enough to need awareness/closure but not well enough to come to a funeral, so why not just answer the biggest question?

@CallissClan I’m so sorry to hear this. They truly steal our hearts. Wishing you all lots of luck on this next stage with her.

…2/2 aren’t really suitable for her nor would they buy us much time. We have decided to provide palliative care & do everything we can to keep her comfortable. I am crying while I write this so may not be able to respond to replies.

GET THE TISSUES READY: It absolutely breaks my heart to share Abla’s diagnosis of osteosarcoma. We were initially hopeful it was arthritis, which could’ve been managed. The prognosis for osteosarcoma is very poor & treatment options (being amputation & chemo) …1/2

You ever hold an iPhone without a case on it? You can almost feel its eagerness to toss itself onto some pavement.

Former LA Times managing editor @sarayasin launches The Key, a new publication about Palestine that will be "a home for journalists who have had their stories spiked in mainstream outlets." Her opening essay is worth every second of your time: thekeymagazine.com/p/western-jour…

@venetianblonde @WyoDems @WyoFile @WGFD @visitwyoming @GovernorGordon @WYPublicRadio @nywolforg @WWF @RealPaulMueller This plea deal is an absolute disgrace. This man is an absolute disgrace. I am raging at this.

No jail time for Cody Roberts. He ran over a wolf cub with his snowmobile, dragged the dying pup to his aunt's bar, and tortured her for hours while (according to his uncle on FB) drunk. Then he shot the wolf in the head. Damn his plea deal and damn Wyoming "justice."
