It's a Ponzi scheme. And these people at our universities have got us involved.

"I spent a while trying to figure out how to classify An Honour & a Privilege. Viewed through one lens it might not seem an important question: classification is mostly helpful for shelving decisions. But genre also dictates how one reads a thing. Whether you think of this book as an anthology (many authors), a collection (one common author), or a craft book (the reflective duets) may affect your perception of the whole. I struggle to compare this work to any of those three genres. The project in front of you reveals more about its craft than other anthologies. It's more authentically connected to strong exemplar material than other craft books. It's more heteroglossic than any collection I recall. The best way to think of An Honour & a Privilege may be to regard it as a genre all its own, one which depends significantly on its many interconnections, one which marks both an occasion and an invitation, one which offers us both a testimony as to what can be done together and a guide on how to do it." From the Foreword by Dr. Graham Robert Scott.

The cover of the book is a vintage, slightly foxy red, with white font beside a large black and white ampersand.

If you have a writer in your life and you'd like them to know that you care about their ambitions, may I suggest ordering a copy of my collaborative craft anthology, An Honour And A Privilege, as a Christmas present? (trust me, you'll get the MOST brownie points)

Between the fireworks and the dog being upset at the fireworks, all my nerves are on fire. What a relaxing evening.

Not to play favourites (actually, totally to play favourites), but @martinwpayne.bsky.social's FOREVER NIGHT contains what is probably my best performance to date. Very proud of that one. You should watch the others too, but needless to say, the World Premiere of that will be exciting.

data point: at my daughter's school, the halloween parade had countless kpop demon hunters and only 3 Elsas. A new era has dawned.

Cโ€™EST GRAVE: A NEURODIVERGENT REFLECTION ON JULIA DUCOURNAUโ€™S โ€˜RAWโ€™ (2016) Through Ducournauโ€™s Raw, Jill Vranken found the impossible: to feel seen in her sensitivity and her hunger. Horror became a mirror, and a mercy.

๐Ÿฆด #NightTideMag Monthly Macabre: Cannibal Horror rolls on.
For Jill Vranken, in Raw, Julia Ducournau reached through the screen, bloodied hand, tender heart, and told her she wasnโ€™t a monster. Just human, and hungry to belong. ๐Ÿ‘ป๐Ÿ“ฝ๏ธ

Craig and April get together, and Mitch complains about their age gap relationship while also dating someone two decades younger than him. Newest Baywatching is now public! Pretty spooky, huh folks?

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

It's so frustrating how little people seem to care. It's 2025 and there are films on streaming with no subtitles, or subtitles so dire that whole lines are incomprehensible ๐Ÿ™

i need more places to take subtitles seriously, i don't even need them as much as others do and the current state of them pisses me off royally

Hi Lisa Nandy! Iโ€™m a BAFTA winner from a small town. Instead of asinine questions like this, why not tell us how we can continue to make a living in the eviscerated creative sector over which you notionally preside?
