The eating of ants was not banned until 1902.

You are very welcome, Daniel. And I should in turn thank @taniahershman.bsky.social for introducing me to the brilliant #frankiemcmillan !

The programme for this year's Bookmark book festival in Blairgowrie, 4-5 October. Tickets www.bookmarkblair.com

The programme for this year's Bookmark Blairgowrie book festival. A really excellent, high quality book festival in the heart of Perthshire. This year feat. @seanluskauthor.bsky.social @linanderson.bsky.social @billykayscot.bsky.social @florajowriter.bsky.social and many others. Well worth a visit.

A screenshot of the cover of the forthcoming ebook version of FUEL: An anthology of prize-winning flash fictions raising funds to fight fuel poverty, edited by Tania Hershman. There is a picture of a yellow petrol pump, and text diagonally across the top of the page says "Ebook with 21 bonus prize-winning stories".

After raising £4k for fuel poverty charities from the print anthology, the FUEL flash ebook—with 12 bonus flash stories—is on its way! That’s 87 brilliant, surprising prizewinning flash stories by writers worldwide, exploding the myth that there's a formula for a “winning” story. www.fuelflash.net

You won’t be disappointed. (Though I’m guessing your bedside table is a teetering tower of about ninety books! 😆)

Cover of novel The Artist by Lucy Steeds

I adored this unputdownable novel from #lucysteeds #theartist Very unusual for me to be unable to tear myself away from a book, but this gripped me through sheer luminosity of language and story.

Sean and Sam at Beinn books, Dufftown

A mini book tour over the weekend took me to three wonderful bookshops - #beinnbooks at Dufftown, where I met the owners of this great new book and coffee shop, Sam and Kelly. Then to @waterstones St Andrews and the amazing Jack and to @waterstones du dee…all in the sunshine, of course!

These are superb.

Yes, that is very important, and considerate.

Totally deserved. Hooray!

Definitely on my list!

Totally agree about #bulletinthebrain by #tobiaswolfe It’s that final line that gets me every time.

As a philosophy major who adored symbolic logic courses, this may be my favorite cartoon ever.

Apply! You have until June 4th. Go on…go in

Which will be utterly marvellous, because @vickymackenzie.bsky.social is!

Fabulous. Marie Osmond as a Dadaist artist. It gives me hope.

Ghastly, isn’t it? We are all being turned into the slaves of these huge, unaccountable corporations. AI is not the spinning jenny of our era, but the manacle.

Barbara! Hope you enjoy reading. 😍
