'Strange to think there were people out there who rallied against this kind of phenomenological abstraction. Who, when the noise came, welcomed it. Opened their bodies as you would a guest to your home.'

@northodoxpress Would you be interested in collections of short stories?

[George Bryant-Aird @G_Aird]

💔💔💔 genuinely gutted to hear this. One of few independent bookshops near us, always had a mint selection

[Broadhursts Bookseller Legacy @BroadhurstBooks]

We are incredibly sad to announce the permanent closure of Broadhursts.

All the booksellers have been made redundant, & the shop will no longer open for trading with immediate effect.

NEW on Wonkhe: External examiners are still regarded as an essential component of higher education quality - so why don't we treat their student equivalents in the same way? George Bryant-Aird sets out what that would look like @G_Aird https://t.co/YoIjn1yoDb

@seanehewitt @JonathanCape @AAKnopf @Einaudieditore @suhrkamp @arbeiderspers huge congrats, can't wait to read!

[George Bryant-Aird @G_Aird]

@BridportPrize just wondering if everyone (even if it's a no!) will hear back from the fiction prize, or if you only hear back if you've been shortlisted? thanks!

Here is an updated photo of what Gboyega Odubanjo was last seen wearing, missing since @ShambalaFest. Please share and if you have any relevant information contact Northamptonshire Police on 101, quoting ref MPD1/2619/23.

@broadhurst_mr @MrColesDrama Thanks Ben! Best place to start is Microsoft's own video tutorials (if you download the desktop app they'll prompt you to watch them) or get a free trial on datacamp which do really good online intro courses. Once you've done the videos, it'll be cleaning the data!

I am just a man
Sat in an empty cinema
Drinking a can of gin and tonic
(decanted into a tango ice blast cup)
Waiting for Barbie

“It’s a thing about being a man. To be so stingy, to deny even a sip of yourself. To deny and deny and deny until one day it all comes out as a violence, like water spewing forth from a hose.”

finished Penance by @FancyEliza over the course of 48 hours. just can't stop thinking about it. reminded me of the ghost stories we used to tell about kids who died getting stuck on the rollercoaster at metroland (I mean this as the highest storytelling compliment)
