Submission call out: I'm looking for some pieces (a poem / short prose) about your choice to become a vegan. It will be for Pen to Print's Showcase in March. The theme is "Choice", so focus on that from a vegan pov rather than just general veganism. #vegan #writing #submission

“Shouldn’t you be looking at a tit somewhere?” “I am!” Locals and those speaking up have to deal with intimidation from fox hunts and it’s not right. #OperationSmokescreen @MeganMcCubbin @NDHuntSabs @HuntSabs

Thoroughly recommend entering. I am at the tail end of this years mentorship and it has been transformative in terms of how I think about writing. I wrote words OK before, but now there is more consideration, the why I have added something, is it needed, etc. Get on it!

Rylan Clark is running for Strictly presenter, I can't wait to hear him ask contestants "That was a good dance, but you look like an immigrant to me let me check your documentation."

Latest issue of Salient Points has arrived (available to members of @GreatWarGroup). Amongst all the interesting articles and other features, they have a write up of this year's conference and it include some of my photos. It was a great event and I look forward to next year.
