We've been unable to keep up with the number of pub closures for a while now.

The names we see are often local institutions and hearts of their communities.
They're not asking for money, just not to lose 20% of takings immediately.
It will save businesses and jobs.

10% VAT now.

@ForceMajeurePod @dedbutdrmng @ed_fortune @narrativium @Maddambeltaine AWARD-WINNING PROFESSIONAL PLOTTIST!!!

[Rebecca Derrick @Del_irium]

Second episode of the RPG special I did for @ForceMajeurePod with @dedbutdrmng, @ed_fortune, @narrativium and the excellent @Maddambeltaine is up. I cannot tell you what it's about.

There's a chance we're at the point where RJ has completely lost the plot? But maybe not...

[Rebecca Derrick @Del_irium]

@weaselpunk @ForceMajeurePod @dedbutdrmng Thank you!!! Things I remember; if in doubt, just bumble about post-its.

[Rebecca Derrick @Del_irium]

I did a three part special for @ForceMajeurePod. I forgot about it. No idea what happens.
I remember it's @dedbutdrmng and my first sci-fi #RPG, and both of us derailing it (RJ more so).
I remember RJ's genius, but he's a hilarious, award-winning author...

It's this. Too scared to listen, but you should.

@ed_fortune @neilhimself Seems it's time to make a new best friend...

It's been great being back at book events again and last nights was especially excellent.
Purely book people in attendance, excellent pie and talking about genuinely brilliant future projects people are working on!

A big thanks to all the Manchester bookish peeps who joined our first @HachetteUK Manchester office Meet & Mingle tonight in partnership with @MCRCityofLit 🐝

[Rebecca Derrick @Del_irium]

This was so great yesterday. Big recommend if you have any teens who want something to do this afternoon.

[Manchester City of Literature @MCRCityofLit]

Yesterday's free workshop on TikTok poetry for teens was amazing.
We had an anti-sonnet, chess as a wargame, the unfortunate existence of mushrooms and the perils of a treacherous poo-bag.
We get to do it all again today and there are still spaces left.

Remembering back to July, when the tadpoles finally started becoming #frogs. our little #pond is #homemade. A water but broke, so we chopped it, partially buried it & surrounded it with branches for them to live in when they grew

Never been at a gig and during the support bought tickets to see said support. @wearepetneeds were great and I love @gulliverspub. Though the band started telling people to book the Gulli ers gig while I was trying to book... Like, give me a minute before flooding the site, pal!

To all our #Manchester #Writers

Would you benefit from us creating a form of Writers' Bulletin where we send our writers specific news of writing commissions, residencies and paid opportunities, OR do you already get this news from our current newsletters and social mediaI?

[Manchester City of Literature @MCRCityofLit]

[Rebecca Derrick @Del_irium]

6am and rather than sleeping I'm @EarlestownCC watching @shanejones bowling at Karl while my Dad runs around fielding.

Karl is batting for 15 hours straight to raise money for the club and taking donations for a local foodbank.

[Rebecca Derrick @Del_irium]

A Wild Jack appeared. It's super effective! Still in hour 2 of 15.

Absolute savage taking your Dad out like that! 🤣

[Earlestown CC @EarlestownCC]

We’re past the halfway with over 1300 balls!!! Karl is absolutely smashing it!

Karl will be batting until 9pm, so we’re here until then for any food bank donations.

Or there’s a Go Fund Me for donations for anyone who can’t make it along.
