Feel like whoever is in charge of inputting the info for group J on the Guardian website needs to take a long hard look at themselves...

A bit of #TerryPratchett chat on here these last few days. This is useful if you want to dive in but are not sure where to start.

A flowchart with suggested starting points for Pratchett readers, depending on readers' interests.

If you are trying to write, or do any creative endeavour, and you are full of doubt, I would highly recommend you read these. Because, boy, do they show how even the best among us spend most of our time thinking we are shit. #Steinbeck #Writing

Finding this little caption on BBC articles from time to time now: "We used an AI voice to read the audio version of this article." Well, BBC: don't. Use a real person, and pay them for their labour.

I read the novel 'Helm' by Sarah Hall late last year. This is the page after the final page.

This poem by @mrjohnmccullough.bsky.social is one of those that pops into your consciousness from time to time and stays with you for hours.

Lots of discourse recently about how Muppets Christmas Carol is the best version of A Christmas Carol, but we should talk about how this is the best version of the story of Robin Hood.

Derek Walcott's Love After Love. Taught this one many times, and like it a lot. It tends to mean so many different things to different people, and it is one you can revisit and find it means something different to the former you, too.

I saw this at the end of the novel 'Helm', by Sarah Hall. I expect we will be seeing more of this kind of thing.

Some Mary Oliver for this twixtmas morning. What she says here is the thing I have struggled with most in my life I think. Various complex reasons for this, not just the usual hegemonic capitalism. But I have been better at it over the last few years.

Spotted this, at the end of thr novel 'Helm', by Sarah Waters (which is excellent, by the way). This is where we are now.

I found this at the end of 'Helm', by Sarah Hall (which is excellent, by the way). I guess this is where we are now.

A page at the end of a novel, with a 'Human Written' icon and a statement by the author affirming the work to not be a product of AI.

She deleted this post after quite reasonable and understandable criticism, before later deleting her account.

The junction of Morton Lane & Gateforth New Road is a good spot. There's a layby just before the top of Morton Lane. You can use the riding stables to find your way. This is all just to one side of Hambleton Hough, which you can get to from the other end of Morton Lane, turn left, then left again.
