Hey @samatlounge.bsky.social — great to be on here! Finding friends again after leaving #BookTwitter a couple of years back.
On my blog, I am currently running a book festival survey to find out why people are (or are not) attending book festivals!
Would love a boost 🙏

Seeing the Evening Press delivery bike image for "Up De Flats" by Gemma Dunleavy reminds me that my first published work was in the Evening Press (I think, or was it the Irish Press - the daily?) I met with the Features Editor, Liam Robinson for coffee after. Nothing more came of it. I was a looney.

Khomeini died in 1989. Gabbard doesn't even know who the current Iranian leader is. It's Khamenei. It might seem trivial but goes to show how ignorant and careless the Trump appointees are.

- What? I wasn't aware.
- I don't even like to say it.
- Say what? Go on.
- Their name! Their blasphemous name.
- Bee Gees?
- You said it, not me.

Legislation should be for a specific concern, not 1000 pages incorporating too many different things for anyone to get properly to grips with. Each element should get separate scrutiny. Isn't the present bill, the BBB, really an attempt at "legerdemain" to blindside the country to a massive robbery?

Spot on. That's exactly what's going on, not just in cancelling research project, the entire Trump administration is the political wing of the Ku Klux Klan.

I will have to check that out. I also thought Joe Dolan singing Danny Boy might do the trick.
