I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats high o’er vales and hills When all at once I saw a crowd A host of golden… bullshit
just saw a list of 30 “traps” for poets and one of them was writing in first person singular and I once again am wondering why some poets hate poetry so much

The terminal decline of Western civilisation correlates precisely with the inexorable rise of Salted Caramel.

Number one son has been making music with a band for the past year now. They’re looking to level up, so if you feel like throwing a bone to some young and dedicated musicians… gofundme.com/f/terapin-to-re…

I cannot second this enough. It wasn’t this way 20 years ago, it is now.
One of the lessons I've learned from publishing over the last two trilogies is: if you want to make a career from writing, don't write series. Selling a 3 book trilogy deal sounds great, especially as a debut. But it can also be a rock around your neck. 1/

Thought for the day: a lot of people yelling at Israel to stop aren’t yelling equally at Hamas because they think Israel is the only combatant open to reason?

Either you’re pro-Palestinian or pro-Hamas. You can’t be both. Some things to note about this current conflict: (thread)

Death of a thousand cuts. Murder them.
In a letter to the @thetimes Jonathan Jones of Westbury explains how he took out a small claims court action against a water company for loss of amenity due to sewage pollution. They agreed to settle for the sum of £550. Now that is interesting!

More of a puce voter myself, but sure, I’ll test my willpower with you.
I am proposing that August 1st be a “Tweet Out” day where blue voters take the day off from tweeting. Think of the revenue lost for Twitter - X if we did that. Best way to affect change with a billionaire is to hit them in the wallet. RT if you are with me. #August1stTweetOutDay

PUBLIC SHAMING TIME: This shitbag escaped yesterday for long enough to convince everyone he was roadkill before sauntering home to snooze on a bunch of lovingly nurtured plants and THIS is his response to our demand for an explanation? Bus stop ladies, SHUN HIM!

I see a lot of writing advice that can be summarised as “keep it short, sharp, and snappy.” Like all advice, it can be ignored. Know your genre.

Also big #lfc fans, and thus right-thinking folks… ;-)
