I had a similar experience to Isabel and would not have got through it without the support of my employer. Many people suffering severe mental illness have to contend with the knowledge that they just can’t work.

People with mild depression to have benefits withdrawn.

That should ensure that it stops being mild.

I'm more and more amazed at the weird and whacky views you get coming at you - in person, not just online. It's like holding the door closed on a load of Cthulu tentacles. How mumbo-jumbo conquered the world. (2/2)

A wee thought this morning for Francis Bacon who died #OTD 1992

I tweet about Britain's postal paths (walked by rural postmen and women in the past) and other ancient paths, folklore, and the joy of handwritten letters. Follow me if you're of a like mind. Picture: Scottish postie Silver Beedie on her Highland route.

Following yesterday's giveaway, we have a further two copies of Steve Ely's collection 'Eely' to give away today (thanks to the generosity of an anonymous Longbarrow supporter). Simply 'like' this tweet before 5pm; we'll pick two names out of the hat at 6pm (UK addresses only).

“After 10 attempts at reading and completing James Joyce’s magnificent ‘Ulysses’ and only making it to page 10 each time, on attempt number 11, I finally did it! Hallelujah! ‘Ulysses’ should be a real inspiration to anyone interested in breaking the rules in any art form.” -Ron📚

Longbarrow Press was launched in Sheffield 18 years ago today. Over the next few hours, we'll post 18 loosely threaded tweets - anecdotal, aphoristic, archival - that reflect on the ethos and evolution of the press. What we do, how we do it, why we do it. In no particular order.

That rather fleeting time of year before proper summer hits, where everything is lush green and full of life.

Just saw this 😂😂😂
