I thought the UK was trying to be more accommodating on house planning? I don't think @BasingstokeGov have that message. We have been in planning discussions for almost 1 year because we want to create a room above our garage. I guess I write to a politician now? @Houseplanhelp
The decline of book reviews—based on the speculation that people aren’t reading them—is like the decline of newspapers themselves, Adam Kirsch argues: “When such critics and editors disappear, every part of the literary ecosystem suffers.” https://t.co/Z8U42oeWCn
Its staggering that in 2025, @dpddelivery & @ParcelCompare can be given a mens watch in the UK to deliver to Spain & in a 2 week period lose complete track of the pacel & then declare it lost (which means stolen) & refuse compensation even when insured. #disgrace#dontuse
High-quality content is one of the most important aspects of SEO. Great content gets shared and linked to, which boosts overall rankings. Furthermore, great content keeps users on your site, answers questions, and provides an overall good user experience. Here are some content ideas for photography websites.

Most content teams do not fail because of bad ideas.
They fail because the system behind the content is broken.
You can hire great writers and run a clean calendar.
You can still ship chaos.
Here is why.
• Your brand lives in a slide deck.
• Your personas live in a doc.
• Your topics live in a spreadsheet.
• Your briefs live in another tool.
• Your AI writer and CMS see none of it.
That is the Franken-stack.
It breaks the story you are trying to tell.
Your voice changes from piece to piece.
In The Great Fragmentation, your role shifts.
You are not only an editor.
You are the architect of how the whole system works.
A better way looks like this:
• Brand Foundation becomes live data, not a forgotten file
• Personas flow into your topical map
• The plan, the brief, and the draft live inside one Closed-Loop System
That is how you keep your story straight.
You encode narrative integrity.
You remove the chance to go off-script.
The next level of content leadership is not more meetings.
It is a system that protects your brand from the first idea to the published draft.

“Necromodernism neither celebrates the new nor nostalgically mourns the old, inhabiting instead a space where cultural memory, media saturation, and infrastructural collapse converge into textual practice. It is neither an elegy for modernism nor a prophecy of what comes next, but rather a practice of endurance.”
My essay on Necromodernist architectures in contemporary writing, incl. the work of @LouisArmxnd, John Trefry (@incastellated), @ShmikeShmorrao, @AnsgarAllen, Richard Makin, Rick Harsch, Vi Khi Nao, Elizabeth Aldrich et al., now out with @3ammagazine, courtesy @andrewgallix.

Not a single woman. I'm begging you to read “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, “A Good Man Is Hard to Find” by Flannery O’Connor, “The Yellow Wallpaper” by Charlotte Gilman. Women have been masters of short horror, and the short story in general, since its inception.
