When Truman Capote died, Gore Vidal reportedly called it a good career move. An unforgettable sentence. Writers have always been rather good at being unpleasant to one another. But have we lost the art of the literary insult? tangledprosewritingthroughit.blogspot.com/2026/10/what...

I buy cheap notebooks, rip the pages out and write on them. Why? Previously, I bought expensive notebooks and waited for someone ‘important’ to write in them. This method catches everything in my tiny studio. #creativity

Happy International Cat day 🐾🤍

💡 Traditional Marketing Is Dead 💡 What we all knew as marketing, is pretty-much dead. It was designed for a world that no longer exists. It's no longer fit-for-purpose. Here's what you need to know. #Marketing #SmallBiz #Creative

We’ve also redesigned the Attie experience, with accessibility improvements and a new logo. Over the coming weeks we’ll be opening the closed beta to more people from the waitlist. If you’re curious about what’s happening with Attie, now is a great time to jump in: attie.ai

This week, we’re introducing Quests, an interactive research and exploration tool for the Atmosphere. You can ask Attie to pull information about trending topics, identify influential accounts in a particular field, or create a personalized daily briefing.

Love this piece. In Gainsborough. This morning.

In our latest episode of A Slice of Medieval we welcome back David Gilman to chat about the Hundred Years War and how it became a European conflict, rather than just England v. France @derekbirks.bsky.social @davidgilman.bsky.social #medievalsky #histyorypodcasts soundcloud.com/user-1425259...

Good morning all. How are you today?

This is rather beautiful.

Instagram just asked me for my date of birth. Seriously, Meta knows more about me than I do.

@brittanyellich.com Hi. I hope you don't mind me asking. A follower of mine has had his account compromised in some way. His account is @gamb0.bsky.social It's now sending DM's to people, claiming to be able to get them verified. It sends them to a site that captures their account details.

Hi @support.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app @bsky.app The account of @gamb0.bsky.social has been compromised and scam DMs are being sent to his followers. Can you please help him?

@gamb0.bsky.social Your account is sending scam messages via direct message.

I want to share something weird with you. And once you see it, you'll see it EVERYWHERE.

Just arrived in Lincoln.

Congratulations to @toni.bsky.team on his permanent position of Bluesky CEO. 👏👏👏

Just 5 days left to the paperback release of Heroines of the Tudor World in the UK #tudorsky Mybook.to/TudorHeroines

There is “something” I absolutely love about @bsky.app It’s not a feature. No. It’s a feeling. Knowing the heart behind Bluesky’s mission, makes this place feel more human. More relatable. That’s the end of my TED Talk.

Hi @bsky.app friends. It's been a while.

Popped into my favourite bookshop, Lindum Books on Bailgate in Lincoln. Signed all their shiny new copies of the paperback edition of Heroines of the Tudor World. Their copies of Heroines of the Medieval World, King John's Right Hand Lady and Ladies of Magna Carta are now signed too.

Focus on what’s important to you, not that bastard who upset you. Whilst you are getting angry, they’re out dancing!

Start with a forgotten crime writer. End up with Orwell, Cornford, the International Brigades and an entire lost literary world. That is the joy of a reading rabbit hole. tangledprosewritingthroughit.blogspot.com/2026/06/down...
