@RuthEleanorE If that second frame is not the cover of your next anthology, I'll be submitting a formal complaint. What a pic 💜

[Sarah McGregor @worktheclock]

I mean, reasonable grounds, IMO

[Quite Interesting @qikipedia]

In 1475 a law was passed in Turkey which made it legal for a woman to divorce her husband if he didn't provide her with an adequate amount of coffee.

When I grow up, I want to be Helen Tudor-Fisk.

My Twitter feed is the poorer for @hankgreen's absence :'(

Important to note that plasma donation is not the same process as the more common whole blood donation and must be made at specific donation sites https://t.co/gna47DqCNZ

[Robyn Porteous @RobynPorteous]

I can't donate due to being pregnant (and SANBS also stipulates that you can't donate while breastfeeding or for at least three months after delivery), but if you're in a position to do so, please do!! It's a very easy way to save lives.

"Touching grass"

[Sarah McGregor @worktheclock]

Fucking knew it.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Cursing is rarely a symbol of low class. It's often a mark of high authenticity.

Evidence: Swearing predicts higher rates of honesty and integrity. It signals a willingness to prize candor over courtesy.

A little profanity shows that you're being real and you do give a damn.

7. I had to separate taste from mechanism, but realised they can't be entirely separated. "Interiority" is only part of the mechanism, not the mechanism itself. The collapse of structure is essential for the story to be a story. The reality must be a reality, not my reality.

[Sarah McGregor @worktheclock]

When a story allows me to inhabit another consciousness closely enough to experience the failure of rules, categories, assumptions that underpin what is accepted as real or true.

[Rob Campbell @Robertc1970]

Question.

In one sentence, tell me one thing that you think makes a compelling story that you deeply connect to, remember, tell others about or changes how you look at things?

All answers welcome. But only one thing in one sentence please.

Thank you so much.

[Sarah McGregor @worktheclock]

6. The mechanism needs to be portable. It must operate the same way in a novel, news story, LinkedIn post, film - any medium used to tell stories.

Monday was a whole week, nê?

@NgwenyaNhla My favourite is, "We'll deliver between 08:00 and 17:00 on Thursday." I wait all day Thursday. On Friday, "We couldn't deliver your card. You will be charged." 🙄
