Something that sounds made up but is true is that the first money I ever got for my writing was from Jeffrey Archer, & when I met him just over ten years later he asked for it back.

You know, I am quite ambivalent about bsky because it's quite genteel and unbothered in the main. I have seen FAR MORE OUTRAGE about the Greens motion over the last two hours than posts about Palestine over the last two years.

A quick look for sentences passed down (a while ago, yes) for others convicted of bombings in the UK suggests - and I know that the legislation is different - that 15 years is at the lower end of what he might have expected.

Pen and watercolor 

A pack of witches dance around a fire circle summoning a massive demon in the flames. One of our witches is down though, reader. She lets her sisters know that she won’t be continuing the circle. “Gotta sit this one out, sisters,” she says. “Rolled my ankle.” 
 
I played around with adding a lot of detail to this scene (more shadows, trees in the background, etc.) I think the simpler version works but I’m not sure how I feel about the fire demon drawing. I think I like it. Was having trouble getting the composition of the scene set up with a text bubble in the bottom right. I do like the purple against the black dresses and little boots.

There needs to be a Bluesky account that gives you quick explainers of current discourse so you can immediately decide whether to engage or ignore and not have to trawl through pages of vagueposting adjacent to the story you haven't seen.

Restorative justice doesn't mean "nothing bad ever happens to you." It means, "in determining what happens from here on out, we center the needs of your victim to repair what happened to them over your own needs."

One interpretation is that supporting Ukraine is lower priority than lots of other things because it already is well covered, by press and politicians.

Saw a UK journalist write about immigration as a simple, cold binary anti/pro opinion, instead of people's livelihoods and safety. While proudly saying they speak for a SANCTUARY CITY. Journo told me "they stick to the facts instead of politics". I despair.

I'm not knocking Ukraine, but people in the mainstream give their political consensus cover other people's beliefs don't get. As a trans journalist, I think trans rights are good vs evil too but I would never hold a fundraiser for trans rights bc I know that's not a journalist's role.
