went to check out the techno rave outside Parliament and I don't think I have the data allowance to share a video from it but let me tell you: there sure is a techno rave outside Parliament right now, celebrating Orban getting ousted

walking from my election party to the Tisza rally and we heard crowds cheering in the distance as Orban officially conceded 🥰

This is glorious. I'm pretty certain I know the words to almost everything on here.

WELCOME TO YORKSHIRE

You can still be shocked can't you, even after years of this shit. That sentence chilled me to my bones. To see an American president say that. To see him boast about it.

I don't think I was made to have such easy access to both the hearts and minds of astronauts AND the inner workings of a deranged genocidal monster at the push of a button.

Still time to get those bookings in for a lively weekend of horror writing activities - SPRING SCARES runs this Saturday and Sunday in York! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/spring-hau... #York #Yorkshire #writing #writers #authors #fiction #books #horror #Gothic

i can't help but note, as i listen to the NASA livestream, that all the most meaningful parts of the artemis mission are the human ones. nothing artificial can top organic intelligence, and all that blooms from our connections.

I can confirm that #TheOtherBennetSister is even better on a second viewing. It's just the loveliest thing.

Also, your daily reminder that if you missed out on Crowley or Mythos: The Village, there is now a chance to fix that. crowley.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

Hello all, can anyone tell me where *specifically* lovely Montague Rhodes James used the phrase 'a pleasing terror'? It is, I believe in an introduction to one of the collections, but clearly not in the edition I have. Thank you.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

Hang on, Caroline or Pat, I'll just get my bank details...

Six days to go - we'll be gathering for spooky goings-on in York with two days of writing workshops, interviews and more... SPRING HAUNTS is nearly here! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/spring-hau... #York #Yorkshire #writing #writers #writingweekend #writersweekend #horror #Gothic #Gothicfiction

If you're just joining us... www.pleasantgreen.co.uk/crowley-stor...

One for any aspiring horror and Gothic fiction authors out there, especially if you're in and around York! We'll be heading to the York Explore Library and Archive over the weekend of 11th and 12th April for our third running of SPRING HAUNTS... www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/spring-hau...

This week, Brexit finally killed our family business. We cleared out our warehouse, handed back the keys, paid the final bills and said goodbye to our last employee. What was once a thriving firm died a slow, sad death, all thanks to Farage, Johnson and the gullible idiots they conned. 1/18

If you want to be a writer but don't consider the actual writing to be not only the essential but also the very best part of that then you don't want to be a writer. If you want to be an author and don't feel the same then you don't want to be an author you just want your name on a book cover.

If you're in and around York, and into your dark fiction, then be sure not to miss SPRING HAUNTS over the weekend of the 11th and 12th April! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/spring-hau... #York #Yorkshire #darkfiction #Gothicfiction #horror #horrorwriting #horrorwriters #horrorauthors

They got long prism sentences

Child's left shoe of leather with rounded toe and ankle strap, 1450-1550. Excavated in #London, early 20thC. It may have originally been dyed a bright colour but water-logging has leached that away. Perfect for a small person learning to walk. (Victoria & Albert Museum)

#CFP: SPECTRAL TOURISM 30-31 July 2026 York St John University "This symposium seeks to explore the ghosts of tourism, or tourism itself as a spectral presence, through an interdisciplinary exploration of spectral tourism in York and elsewhere." Abstract deadline: 22nd March #hauntology

This week over 100,000 ALCS members will receive their share of £34m. Let's celebrate the value of human creativity, something that isn't going anywhere 💡📖🌳

It's super worrying sign of failure of literacy that @thetimes.com don't seem to know the difference between an adaptation of a Jane Austen book and an adaptation of a contemporary novel based on a Jane Austen book. Details matter. Arts and culture reporting in this country is hitting a new low.

Guilty Plesiosaurs

Happy I Completely Forgot About @alcs.co.uk Day to all who celebrate. (It's very welcome, chaps.Thank you so much.0

Since it's Women in Horror month, Nightmare Abbey columnist and blogger Matt Cowan has been kind enough to write about some of my recent tales! Many of these are from Nightmare Abbey, which is a great fun publication - if you like horror, well worth checking out. horrordelve.com/2026/03/22/t...

An hour until the next but home because god forbid Arriva run a bus service which connects with rail links.

Nice to see copies of #BeyondandWithinFolkHorror & #BeyondandWithinWitchcraft in the wild thanks to @amandajmason - to get yours: www.amazon.co.uk/Horror-Short... www.amazon.co.uk/Witchcraft-S...

Oh how I love these creepy lil guys.

What does it take to make a writer? I think I’ve worked it out but let me know if I’ve missed a segment.

this is where all navel gazing about falling birth rates leads and you're deluding yourself if you think it's not fundamentally misogynistic
