Do you "really like music", with absolutely no notions of good and bad? Do you have kids, who you insist on talking to as if they're 39 year-old adults like yourself, even when they're being tw*ts in the supermarket? Think a Gok Wan DJ set sounds like a good thing? Try this!!

Enjoyed this tale of severe social anxiety and a deep, personal bond with office equipment. Great narrative voice. Funny, odd, contemplative, drily satirising the emptiness of workplace culture. Would recommend. Hard Copy by Fien Veldman, trans. Hester Velmans (Head of Zeus).

"This is more a meandering, rambling series of words than a question, but..."

Justice for Hind Rajab and her family.

🚨HELP NEEDED🚨 We're organizing a fundraising event to keep our ACORN Cardiff / ACORN Caerdydd union fighting fit! We're having a picnic in the park with a raffle, a bake sale, and some entertainment. Raffle prizes, keen bakers and performers of all kinds needed - hit me up if you can help!

It cost £15 to see Radiohead in 1997. An equivalent gig in 2024 (Nick Cave) at the *same venue* will cost £69, an increase of over 450%.

I am so gutted for Planet. They've been publishing some of the best work in Wales; the first mag that published a story of mine under the label of autofiction. This editorial is searingly vulnerable & honest about the state of magazines, funding, and working in Wales & elsewhere.

Wahey - Joshua Jones | Local Fires & Rachel Dawson on the Polari Prize first book longlist! Massive congratulations, both! Welsh fiction ftw!

This might be the finest still-life I've ever seen. The level of skill here, especially in regard to depth, is off the charts. Thanks Richard Morris

I may have had something to do with this... (If it doesn't work, it wasn't me, I didn't do it and you can't prove anything.)

My childhood library too.... Lovely to see Hanan talking about this. 😊

Been working hard on this crime fiction author event. Appreciate any shares from Cardiff/S.Wales folks!

This is upsetting and making me angry as hell. I think I was getting petrol there that same evening. We have to stand up to these c***s and not take a step back. No complacency.

Largely over on the Sky place these days guys, but please donate to help Sanaa and Sujood get out of Gaza alive. Currently stranded in an impossible and very dangerous situation. Any help is good help. 👇👇 No more bombs. #CeasefireNOW
