My newest story is out in This New North, edited by @BradleyBooks & @AnnaRChilvers, from @valleypress & the @NoShoSto Academy - lots of great work in it. Launched at @LeedsLit. https://t.co/OCu4WNJ4P0

[noentry @noentry_arts]

It's hard to complain about @GrantaMag's Best Young British Novelists (out today) b/c it's so easily conflated with complaining about the novelists listed.

This kind of conflation often shames people into not resisting ageism.

No shade to anyone listed. This list is pernicious

British people may seem charming and quaint on the surface, but don’t be fooled. They are extremely dangerous

If you are disgusted that MPs can apparently now engage in paid lobbying for companies, RT.

I am utterly disgusted.

Here's my article about who we are, why we're trapped, why we are heading for planetary collapse, and what we must do to prevent it. It might not be saying much, but I think this is the best thing I've written. https://t.co/l9aLVivMZt

[Phil Jones' body double - not just a stunt Willy @Philsbodydouble]

Since moving to the UK, I have always missed the Netherlands. But lately it has become truly unbearable. And the reason might surprise people. It is not the beautiful historic cities and towns where you can stroll through for hours and hours. Yes, I do miss them, but.

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

In Britain, transphobia has become a gateway drug to right-wing politics.

The wall between the self-described ‘centre’ and hard right has been breached.

Where does that lead? Look no further than Hungary.

'In the writing of them, every story has to work independently. It’s a piece of work, a piece of art. If it’s not begun well, it’s not going to end well. The first sentence is the first note of the whole performance.'
