My American friends. What are you doing? You have to take ownership of this and, somehow, remove this unhinged individual from power.

Managed to get this one finished before December was out. Another insightful and at times disturbing read by the fantastic Martin Dillion. There were no winners, just victims. It's well worth picking up. #writerscommunity #WritingCommunity

The FIFA Peace Prize, what a pile of shite The Parody Prize more like it.

Recent reads in the last few weeks. All are very absorbing and worth picking up. Any recommendations for this month, please pass on. The shelf is bare 😀 #booksky #writingcommunity

Just completed this mesmerising novel by @newlands.bsky.social Each chapter draws you in with a descriptive narrative that flows with each page turn. Sometimes on reading other author work my imposter syndrome kicks in,this book also inspires me to do better. A fantastic piece of writing.

Bit late, but I'm finally reading this one by two great Scottish writers. #writingcommunity

Another great review just landed. It's always good to receive feedback on your work. #writingcommunity

This is a tremendous read by a top journalist who explored his own family past. Covering family and community bonds, which are then torn apart by fracticide. The wounds run deep. Well worth being picked up.

Kincora: the full horrific story MI5, Mountbatten, Ian Paisley, the Orange Order, and the paedophile ring at the heart of Ulster loyalism and the British establishment My long read in @heraldscotland.bsky.social Warning: extremely distressing details www.heraldscotland.com/news/2525734...

the lesson of this isn't that tucker carlson is actually good but that you should ask these people basic factual questions instead of bullshit about politics

Who is taking these people? Where are they taking them? On whose authority are they taking them? What is happening to them? And why the fuck is the American media not screaming about this outrage from the rooftops?

Hi friends, would anyone be aware of any Scottish/UK publishers that are open for submissons for a short story collection? Any info would be greatly appreciated. #writingcommunity #scotslit

I was a bit too excited and hasty when I switched to the lovely @bsky.app, and although I've nothing, absolutely nothing, against cats, how do I change my feckn setting thingies? Asking not just for me but silent others.

Just finished this engrossing book. I was willing Jack on with every turn of a page. Amazing and if I can say very brave and fantastic writing style by John Gerard Fagan. Get it you'll not be disappointed. #scottishlit
