Absolutely fuck you, Amazon. When I bought this device there was no mention of my purchase being time limited at your discretion. It does not require software updates, so the only "support" necessary is that kindle books are available in a format that can be sent to it. This shouldn't be legal.

In the upcoming issue of FREEZE64 no84, we chat about #Commodore64 #C64 game development with the programmers; reveal hidden messages in games; share new&exclusive POKES N CODES; listen to some cool, lesser-known SID tunes; and dig up some real CCRAP games www.FREEZE64.com

Doesn't matter if the performance itself is staged. The fact is, talented musicians coming together and giving a performance in a public space means the masses get to witness this for free and that's beautiful. TT: Raphaël Froissart IG: Michel Tirabosco ~ Pan flute

My mum recently died. She'd been living in a residential home and was dealing with the trauma of vascular dementia and all that brought. She loved to wear bright colours and it was one of my great pleasures to buy her colourful and design-heavy socks as she got real enjoyment from them.

Always heartbreaking to see an obituary for someone who was so patient and kind and helpful while I was doing my Creative Writing diploma at the UEA. Always constructive, always challenging, always pushing to get one further along the road and become confident in your writing.
