Arresting Quaker women for non-violent protest and breaking into a meeting house to do so. The first time anyone has been arrested in a meeting house in living memory. Despicable behaviour from a Labour government’s Home Office/the Met Police.

Everyone has their own individual sneeze and it’s vitally important to be comfortable with that. Never try to sneeze like somebody else. It will totally fuck you up.

I'd like to find like-minded #HybridWriting folk here: writers, lit mags and publishers who leap over genre boundaries & out of boxes, ignoring labels & definitions - in their own writing and in what they publish! Can you point me in the right direction, lovely people of BlueSky? #UnboxYourWords
