Maggie Smith:

happy aurora day (2)!!

Delighted to get a mention in the Irish Times alongside some of my absolute favourite writers 🤩

The popular Japanese film 'Akira' popularized the 'Bike Slide' so much that the reference has been used abundantly throughout history since it's introduction in 1988. Reports say there's been over 75+ renditions of this iconic bike slide in the cinematic universe.

It's CORK STORIES Day here with a full page article in the Irish Examiner, a review in the The Irish Times and an article in the The Southern Star!!

Well done to all the writers and to the editors, Madeleine D'Arcy and Laura McKenna!!

The best counter to a sub tweet is to ignore it for a few days, then casually denounce all subtweets as the work of cowards and passive aggressive losers. This is in itself a form of subtweet so be sure frame it as a hypothetical.

TOLKA Issue Seven launch! We'll be celebrating the publication of Issue Seven Books Upstairs on Thursday 30 May at 6pm, with readings from our wonderful contributors. Register for free here: tinyurl.com/r8esvtrs
