Please. No. More. Superheroes.

Question: What are these?

Took this photo near Dunblane, they appear to be thistles, but some variety I've not seen before.

On our new website we will have

Words of writing advice from authors

And links to other Indie publishers.

Indie publishing is a community of like minded individuals.

Working together we can create something other than

The Corporate fare.

Fair

we do not tell these stories.
we wear them.

The Manitoba legislature has passed Bill 43, adding gender expression to the provincial human rights code.

In this doom and gloom climate, it's important to mark victories like this, to remember that despite the rise of the far right, we can still organize and win for 🏳️‍🌈 people.

Terminator 3 really should have been spin off starring ginger mullet motorcycle friend.

So, when it snows here in Scotland. Is that called a Mcflurry?

Today's sentence... "An undercurrent of indescribable wrongness."

All the boys think she’s a spy
She’s got hetty wainthropp eyes

Yes, eat all of our shirts!

One positive thing to take from the last few years of politics is that there almost certainly *isn't* a secret cabal of Illuminati running the world behind the scenes. And if there is, they're not very hands-on with it.

Whatever the game, sooner or later you’re gonna find yourself in a sewer maze.

Glasgow looking particularly pretty today.

Seems like a good time to repost this... praxisediting.com/our-policy-o...

Life is a nightmare. You might as well write about it.
