I should have specified - fiction/poetry/creative NF!

recommendations of Polish authors who are writing/wrote in English - ie not translated from Polish into English? (Yes, I have Joseph Conrad, thank you!)

I’ve just added my voice to this consultation saying I don’t want a situation in which staff and fellow swimmers might scrutinise or judge my body, or anyone else’s, when I use the ponds. The current policy of trans inclusion works perfectly well. You can fill out the consultation linked below.

(Work on remainders, print runs, supply chain, raw materials all relevant, too.)

BlueSky: If you've started reading my new book, AESTHETIC IMPROPRIETY: PROPERTY LAW AND POSTCOLONIAL STYLE, and are enjoying it, please consider sending me a sentence or two explaining why.

It's for a thing I'm applying for (and a small monetary award for future research funds). Thanks!

if i put something on the floor and sam doesn't sit on it either he's not well or the packaging is bad vibes

soz you can't throw out that packaging it is a Cat Plinth

absolutely breathtaking levels of “reframe punching up as punching down” are emerging in AI discourse. fighting back against AI is us against billion dollar tech companies, yet they are pulling out so many wild rhetorical tricks to make it seem like the anti-AI movement are the powerful bullies here

as in, it's a limited run of 50; they do not cost 50, they cost £15

It’s the last day of Queeriosities at Copeland Park in Peckham and I’m raising money for The Sameer Project who are working on the ground in Gaza.

It would mean the world if you’d buy the print. Sales could mean up to £1,400 going to provide vital aid to Palestinians during this genocide.
