It's today! 6pm. And a repeat on Saturday 😃📻

Exciting news! Two of my poems are going to be on #BBCUpload with #LeoUlph this Thursday & Saturday @BBCOxford.bsky.social & #BBCSounds . Thanks so much!😀

What a delightful thread, thank you both! I've been drawing on Dante lately too, not exactly terza rima but playing around with the form.

With so much around AI & copyright at the moment, this year looks set to bring plenty of news incl a big UK govt report & 70+ legal cases worldwide.
In my 1st newsletter of 2026 I’ll be thinking about AI licensing, permissions & copyright. V soon! clarepainterassociates.com/newsletter #CopyrightSky

We’re excited to share that Copyright Evidence (copyrightevidence.org) now catalogues 1,000 empirical studies on copyright law! Designed to bring clarity and evidence to policy debates, the portal has now become the world’s most comprehensive, openly accessible copyright empirical research database.

Just signed up, a bit last minute. Did I miss the email? Thanks!

A very good step. Pity it won't cover the referendum campaign too, but still

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

This sounds great!

Screenshot of the Amazon UK Best Sellers in British Poetry chart. At number one is Trilogy: wife·widow·witch by Katie Jenkins, published by The Broken Spine. The book cover is minimalist and black, featuring a stylised figure in white. Other titles shown include Bird School by Adam Nicolson at number two and The Book of Sea Shanties by Nathan Evans at number three.

Extraordinary news — @katiejenkinspoet.bsky.social #Trilogy #WifeWidowWitch is sitting at #1 in British Poetry on Amazon.

A haunting, lyrical exploration of womanhood, silence, & power — it’s a book that truly earns its place.

Lads, did you know that if you live in the UK you can JUST JOIN THE NATIONAL POETRY LIBRARY & send them proof of your address and then you can borrow all their e-books and audiobooks & poetry publications and shit?

Because I did not know!!!!

Thank you @ruthh.bsky.social for telling me they exist!

Thank you. I'm building up slowly...

And now you know you can! Great work today 👍

Today’s the day! Over 5 years in the making - I’ve left it all on the page. I’d love to share it with you.

Sorry to miss this, sounds fascinating. But a clash with Frankfurt Book Fair!

They weren't. Copyright doesn't have to be registered, you own it without that. The problem is that the settlement relies on registration specifically in the US, excluding many authors.

Anthropic’s $1.5 Billion Speeding Ticket It’s the largest copyright settlement in history. But for Anthropic, it’s a toll booth, not a stop sign.

Goodness me, the level of misinformation about the Bartz settlement is off the scale. Please take advice only from reputable sources and not randos on social media. Good explanation here from @copyrightlately.bsky.social. copyrightlately.com/anthropic-se...

Thank you, Alan

The Copyright Agency of Australia is fighting hard against the Australian Productivity Commission's ludicrous proposal for a text and data mining exemption to current copyright legislation. Here's their latest Q&A which shows just how damaging the proposal is.

Really interesting article. The mental load of running a life with someone else (whether there are children or not) is often overlooked and misunderstood - and usually carried by women 🏋️‍♂️
