Happy Shakespeare's birthday, everyone!

To clarify - that was for a worst-case based on historical precedents - those precedents being things like, 'The power of the institution overwhelming popular opinion by ignoring it', etc.

I'm not normally one to interact in politics, however - If we assume Trump's aim is to eradicate every minority out of existence in the States, we'd be looking at 100m people. For perspective, that's a bigger number than the entire UK, even if we go by the biggest estimates.

Can we have a Bryony Lavery appreciation thread? Recently she's been the author of #MidnightCowboy, #SputnikSweetheart and #BookOfDust - La Belle Sauvage. She's a truly magnificent #playwright. And she got me interested in theatre seeing her Treasure Island at the Rep in Primary!

Just a heads-up: the CDC have sequenced some H5N1 doing the rounds and it ain't lookin' great, chief. I am *not a scientist in any way*, but I can relay - this: www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/spo... #H5N1 #Pandemic #HereWeGoAgain #Science

Final thing... 13k of first draft in a month according to previous posts on here. Considering it's my first even long-form piece of fiction, I'm quite pleased with that. Only 5 more blocks like that to go! (Aaargh, so many ideas, so little time). #AuthorsOfBlueSky

Pro-tip from an amateur Blueskier - If you want to begin building the book community algorithm on here, start with the great @jocallaghankat.bsky.social and go from there.

Does anybody know any good #BookSky authors? Or just authors on BlueSky full stop...?

Outline, roughly, finished! More changes to come... then we begin in earnest. #Author #BooksOfBlueSky #Anticipation #HashtagDogging

Been a screenwriter for five years. I'm bored of that, so I'm going to try and write a novel. It could go wonderfully; it could go horribly. I'm currently in the outlining stage so we'll have to see what happens. I'll keep you updated on progress, I guess...? If only for myself.
