Another thread I wrote about Libraro, the platform's use of blockchain tech, and how it seeks to monetise the process of putting your work before agents and publishers - a process that is currently free for writers to participate in.

So Philip Glass just joined TikTok. He only has like 4 posts and they’re simply him in what I assume is his living room playing the piano. First comment on one I saw was “your piano is too close to the fireplace, you’ll dry it out” and if that’s not the internet in a nutshell I don’t know what is.

This appalling fat cat wants to shut the door on all my mature students, many of whom left school after GCSE and give up a lot to go to university. I can tell him that they’re the hungriest for education and far from being unable to graduate, they regularly get the highest grades. Hateful man.

“Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed...This is not a way of life...it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron.” -Dwight Eisenhower 1953

More than just another trend, folk horror continues to gain momentum. Now with creators jumping on the folk horror bandwagon, @stephellis.bsky.social interrogates what exactly makes something "folk horror"—as opposed to a dark story based in folklore. britishfantasysociety.org/is-it-really...

I listened to this today and I learnt a lot. I love the fact that Andrew always covers artists’ later work - there’s something very satisfying about it, and in this case it makes for quite a breathtaking conclusion.

How shameful this is after what we did to Afghanistan. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
