This handmade banana trinket dish, is the same size as a small banana. It's a nice size for all kinds of jewellery and would make an excellent gift, especially for anyone called Anna...believe me, I know 😆 earthandsandbyanna.etsy.com/listing/1222... #banana #handmade #clayart #gifts #MHHSBD

Good news at last!

“I don’t read literary fiction because it’s all boring and pretentious navel-gazing” is no more sophisticated a take than “I don’t read SFF because stories about aliens and elves are for children” and we should look down on people who brag about their ignorance and incuriosity about books

It's Stephen Lawrence Day. Everyone should familiarise themselves with the way he, Duwayne Brooks and his family were failed by the state. Crooked police, lawyers, press and politician. It's more corrupt than you remember, I promise you that stephenlawrenceday.org

Even if you don’t live in Glasgow or have a connection to it, if you care about the way the arts are funded in the UK, pay attention to what’s going on at Trongate 103. Local councils colluding with greedy landlords are forcing artists out of affordable studios across the country. Sign the petition!

Isthmus is such a fine word
