I sometimes think about a guy I once witnessed holding back another guy he didn't know from kissing a girl he was hitting on, what he got in the moment was massive aggression and the girl trying to laugh it off but when the creep had left several strangers said "thanks mate" from all around.

I have books published with Bloomsbury, but the book I am most proud of is my self-published pamphlet for adults. I noticed a typo involving a SINGLE LETTER, & this morning I spent two hours trying to re-upload the document. It's FREE, and I'd love you to check it out: archive.org/details/the-...

What really upsets me about the Man City financial scandal is the unfair advantage it gave them over smaller sides like Richmond AFC.

You can’t understand the story of rock music without following the main and side plots together. For example, I don’t even WANT to know about Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart without the proper context of the accompanying episodes on the GTOs and The Banana Splits. That’s how good this is.

Here’s the most incredible story you’ll read today. A small plane with four people aboard crashes in a field. Another pilot witnesses it. That pilot happens to be flying a bunch of skydivers. They offer to jump to assist, are given permission. The skydivers happen to be EMTs. Everyone survives.

Skydivers alert emergency crews, assist after plane crashes near East Troy airport

Four people were aboard the single-engine plane when it went down in a cornfield near Carvers School Road in East Troy at about 1:30 p.m.

If you can catch a hare and look into its eye, you will see the whole world… —Anna Crowe, “A Calendar of Hares” from A SECRET HISTORY OF RHUBARB (Mariscat, 2004) #BookWormSat #poem #poetry annacrowepoet.com/2021/04/21/a...

A Calendar of Hares
Anna Crowe

for Valerie Gillies

1. At the raw end of winter
the mountain is half snow, half
dun grass. Only when snow
moves does it become a hare.

2. If you can catch a hare
and look into its eye,
you will see the whole world.

3. That day in March
watching two hares boxing
at the field’s edge, she felt
the child quicken.

4. It is certain Midas never saw a hare
or he would not have lusted after gold.

5. When the buzzard wheels
like a slow kite overhead
the hare pays out the string.

6. The man who tells you
he has thought of everything
has forgotten the hare.

7. The hare’s form, warm yet empty.
Stumbling upon it, he felt his heart
lurch and race beneath his ribs.

8. Beset by fears, she became
the hare who hears
the mowers’ voices growing louder.

9. Light as the moon’s path over the sea,
the run of the hare over the land.

10. The birchwood a dapple
of fallen gold: a carved hare
lies in a Pictish hoard.

11. Waking to the cry of a hare
she ran and found the child sleeping.

12. November stiffens
into December: hare and grass
have grown a thick coat of frost.

April, the last full fixture of the spring: “Feet, Scottish, feet!” – they rucked the fear of God Into Blackheath… —“London Scottish”, by Mick Imlah (1956–2009) – born #OTD, 26 September from THE LOST LEADER (Faber, 2008) #poem #poetry #rugby #WW1 www.scottishpoetrylibrary.org.uk/poem/london-...

London Scottish
Mick Imlah

April, the last full fixture of the spring:
‘Feet, Scottish, feet!’ – they rucked the fear of God
Into Blackheath. Their club was everything:
And of the four sides playing that afternoon,
The stars, but also those from the back pitches,
All sixty volunteered for the touring squad,
And swapped their Richmond turf for Belgian ditches.
October: mad for a fight, they broke too soon
On the Ypres Salient, rushing the ridge between
‘Witshit’ and Messines. Three-quarters died.

Of that ill-balanced and fatigued fifteen
The ass selectors favoured to survive,
Just one, Brodie the prop, resumed his post.
The others sometimes drank to ‘The Forty-Five’:
Neither a humorous nor an idle toast.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:

Stretch them

No whitespace

Pompeii is a UNESCO world heritage site not because it was remarkable in its prime, but because it survived to our era untouched: one moment, preserved for all time. But future generations won't know what OUR world was like unless we do the same. This is why we MUST bury Toronto with a volcano
