We need this in Scotland. It’s not even wishful or fanciful thinking: it’s financially astute. Our creative industries are absolutely vital

I'm really looking forward to this, do come along!

What a fantastic event! @bcltuea.bsky.social @annierutherford.bsky.social @goethe-institut-uk.bsky.social

Sent a digital publisher's catalogue. In it, a special anniversary edition of a beloved book. They *boast* it's a new translation. Nowhere in the copy do they mention who translated. I zoom in on jacket. Nothing. I look down at writer bio, only the original author. VALUE TRANSLATORS, PEOPLE.

Interesting conversation between @annierutherford.bsky.social and Paul Russell Garrett discussing how their #translation and translation-adjacent income breaks down, by activity, genre, etc.

My brilliant friend!

Loved this performance at the Loud Poets Showcase last month!

🚨BREAKING: MPs have just voted for cuts to social security - with unwritten promises from the UK Government

This is reckless.

Disability rights aren’t optional. Poverty is a political choice. This Govt chose it tonight.

We'll keep fighting until this cruel Bill is rejected completely.

The *reason* Ai-generated text contains semicolons, en dashes etc. is that experienced, skilful writers use these marks to subtly convey meaning and nuance in their work. And the Ai LLMs have been trained on the stolen work of experienced, skilful writers.

This. Yesterday, today and tomorrow.

So proud of @catmitchell17.bsky.social and @pennyauthor.bsky.social for making a #Disability focus issue of @thebookseller.com happen after 3 years hiatus. So heartening to see such brilliant books by disabled, D/deaf, neurodivergent writers being published across genres, as in my preview. #BookSky

There is enough money in this country. We don't have to make cuts. We don't have to invest in one thing at the expense of another.

But we do have to make the super-rich and corporations pay their fair share.

Ruxy Cantir performs In Deep on stage at the Scottish Storytelling Centre in 2024. Ruxy is dressed as a clown in an oversized pair of trousers and holding a bunched up piece of fishing net. In Deep was a collaboration between poet and playwright David McNeish and physical theatre maker and clown Ruxy Cantir commissioned by Push the Boat Out in 2024 as part of the Living Water: New Poetic Performances, in association with the National Theatre of Scotland.

We’re thrilled to launch a brand-new opportunity! With support from @ntsonline.bsky.social, we’re commissioning three bold, poetry-led performances responding to our theme: Anthropocene: The Human-Altered World. Full info▶️ pushtheboatout.org/work-with-us/

So you agree? Our work is valuable and your industry can't survive without it?

Because that sure as hell sounds like something you need permission and should pay for.

A good read and a reminder that today is the last day to opt out of data scraping on meta products! (Link to do so is here: theaoi.com/news/meta-ai...)

Two Lines Press is excited to open a focused submissions call for translations of literature from Asia and Oceania. We highly encourage submissions of work from less-represented languages and from BIPOC, women, and/or queer authors and translators.
