Go go go book on in! Leone Ross is a titan of the literary world. If you're a fiction writer of 5,000 words I can't recommend Leone's guidance and sharp eye enough.

I know the author pretty well. She's @leoneross.bsky.social and she's talented. This novel first came out nearly 30 years ago and @faberbooks.bsky.social have just re-released it, which they wouldn't do if it wasn't good. There's an audiobook version for lazy non-readers too. Ta.

Is Kilmar Abrego Garcia alive? Because the amount of resistance to addressing his being trafficked gives the distinct impression that either he is dead or what they have done to him is so unspeakable that they cannot afford for him to be freed, seen, or spoken with.

Absolutely. Fucking bastards. Has a direct effect on me and mine. Good to have a boyfriend and cats that support me. #fuckstarmer #paytaxesassholes #supportdisabledpeople #fibrowarrior #catsofbluesky

Jasmine Crockett speaks for all of us. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

We asked @leoneross.bsky.social about stories and writing to promote her upcoming workshop at the Write A Short Story Festival and she said so many incredible things we're going to spam your feeds with it all for eternity even if it's not directly related to her workshop (which will also be awesome)

These bastards. I do NOT mean Hamas.

How dare they say this now, and how dare they try to pin it on 'expert' advice! Every single person who knew 1%+ about it, both inside and outside the civil service, told then not to trigger Article 50 when they did. And said so, very loudly, at the time. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

This is absolutely horrific👇🚨, and we are running an emergency meeting for MPs to hear from NHS staff about what is happening and push government into action. Please click here to contact your MP- this is urgent:https://everydoctor.eaction.org.uk/emergency-briefing www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Use your excitement and relief to help a Palestinian in Gaza today - share their fundraisers, donate, use this energy to help them survive. They have a long road ahead.

The destruction of Gaza is the destruction of the whole world. The Israeli government, with the eager assistance of the United States, is laying the groundwork for how we respond to genocide and atrocities in the 21st century. via: Jewish voice for peace
