Obsessed with this "you might also like" recommendation from iPlayer. I need to know what metadata these two share.

Help a refugee into employment by donating - Refugee Council Romia fled Sudan when she felt it was no longer safe for her and her family...

Almost every newspaper and broadcaster in Britain is now waging a racist 24/7 campaign of hatred against migrants on behalf of the ultra rich. In response to this, one small thing you can do is donate to the NGOs supporting refugees.

Sorry I didn't [insert thing I was supposed to do today]. The air pressure dropped and now my eyes are lead marbles, my head a sodden loaf.

I don't know about you, but this year has been a whole load of dwindling freelance opps, funding rejections and job ad rebuffals coming out of my ear holes. But I do know what I'm doing, promise.

Lindz McLeod launches The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet | Events at Waterstones Bookshops | Waterstones Events at Waterstones get you closer to the books and authors you admire most. Find information and tickets about Lindz McLeod launches The Unlikely Pursuit of Mary Bennet today.

I was just told that my launch event in Glasgow was going to be cancelled because I don't have *enough* tickets sold. Humiliatingβ€”not least because I worked my butt off for this book & went to other people's launches.

If I could sell a few more today, maybe I could change their minds. Please.
