I did the write-in challenge last weekend and wrote 25 flash fiction stories in 48 hours (okay, most of them on Sunday because that's how my brain works). They're all connected, and the write-in folks were kind enough to make a summary post for me <3 thewrite-in.blogspot.com/2026/06/wate...

'Water and Stone - Stories from Tarovia' by Birgit K. Gaiser

Not only did Birgit K. Gaiser respond to all 25 prompts during the 48-hour Write-In submissions window, she made them into a linked series, ...

Finished today: Grady Hendrix - The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sou... One of my most entertaining reads (/listens) this year, and I'm not even from the southern US. Funny, poignant, infuriating, disturbing, loved it.

Day 2 on Bluesky. I'm still angry about #UKPolitics, so here's another #poem.

Poem titled "Digital ID" with a drawing of a digital ID in blue, showing categories of "person", "semi-person like EU maybe or Aussies" and "Boat person, no jobs, sad."

Digital ID

Wars fought with weapons that we sold make people refugees.
But we don’t have to let them work. Use digital IDs!

When corporation tax loopholes fill CEOs with glee,
our biggest tax risk? Immigrants! Use digital ID.

All cash-under-the-table-jobs authorities don’t see
will magically disappear with digital ID.

To reduce tax evasion, we could fund HMRC.
Instead, let’s spend more money on that digital ID.

Targeting wealth would bring more taxes and equality.
So we will hit asylum seekers. Digital ID!

Increasing capital gains tax would raise billions each year,
but what we really want is gammon who might vote for Keir.

The best scapegoats do not have British nationality.
They cannot vote, thus do not matter. Digital ID!

Hello. It's my first post. Have a #poem. #UKPolitics #poetry

$Two pictures of swans with cygnets on a lake, and a poem. Title: Seven reasons not to eat swans. An immigrant’s poem. Poem text: Swans, we know, are hard to snatch, much too big for hand-held nets. That’s why we as immigrants would rather catch some sun than swans. Swans, notoriously vicious, do not make for tasty dishes. That’s why we as immigrants choose eating mushrooms over swans. Swans look well after their young, teach them, carry them along. That’s why we as immigrants like right-wingers far less than swans. When a swan acts like an anus, it’s not planned; not truly heinous. That’s why we as immigrants choose fighting fascists over swans. Swans give nature their full backing, don’t dump rubbish, don’t do fracking. That’s why we as immigrants hate Reform UK more than swans. Swans believe in right of movement, see open borders as improvement. That’s why we as immigrants would never think of killing swans. Swans don’t engage in punching down, unlike Reform UK’s chief clown. That’s why we as immigrants might punch Farage, but not hurt swans. Signature: @toomanysquirrels.bsky.social, 25/09/2025$
