Pointless things in the modern world. Posts that include the phrase: "Credit goes to the owner"

To celebrate her 70th, my mum drove her elderly camper van across North Africa to Syria. Hope things work out for that amazing country

Very nice thoughtful piece about books about writing by @karlwhitney.ie in The Examiner

I've been making friends with a rook, putting monkey nuts in a jar lid. Every time they take the nut, I move the lid somewhere else for them to find it. This morning's nut

Had a handful of homophobic/transphobic messages here today because I’ve created a Starter Pack supporting LGBTQIA+ writers. Please follow and share this pack to help keep Bluesky the positive place it promises to be. go.bsky.app/UD2Hf7W

This starter pack thing is lovely but you wake up and you have 1.5k more followers. I hope they have low expectations

Something I've learned. People disagree with each other about all sorts of big things but if two people who might otherwise loathe each other's political opinions have read the same book they can often end up talking about it respectfully together. They can even disagree about it without going mad

Thanks Nadine for giving fellow writers such a good welcome to Bluesky. You're a pal

I think I may have one of the oldest author websites around. Not necessarily proud of the 2001 era HTML web.archive.org/web/20010223...

It's November and these bees who live in an old fire hydrant near me in #Kerry think it's July

Anyone an expert on #biodiversity net gain? It's for a plot. Honest

Book recommendation! Notes on a Drowning by @annamazz.bsky.social. A tense, political thriller that’s also full of heart. Read it! 😊
