It’s funny (but not funny) that I grew up with the fallout from Enoch Powell’s “rivers of blood” speech. Like that was the worst thing any racist politician could say. Now we hear that stuff every day from any number of politicians. Culture is progressing; politics is regressing.

Just a reminder that we're opening *very soon* to manuscript submissions on 1 May for our new publishing project: THE NORTHERN WEIRD PROJECT 🖤😈

Writers of the North, you're on notice...

I spotted a pair of Ring Ouzels up on Farleton Knott on Monday. For a short moment I was delighted. Then I thought about all the dog owners who let their animals run loose in an area that used to be brilliant habitat for ground-nesting birds. I ran back down with a heavy heart.

In case you missed our original announcement, THE NORTHERN WEIRD PROJECT is coming 🖤 Attention writers in the North of England, we want to hear from you. Subs open 1 May. Novellas, 20-25K

I became a Grandad in '23, but Leo died aged just 13 days old. The charity 4Louis gave us a Memory Box, which provides a special way for bereaved families to store meaningful items and remember their baby. I'm doing a fundraiser for them if you can help tinyurl.com/yfsmux8n

If, like me, you think that this government is taking the piss when it comes to public access to nature, this is well worth a read.

Today’s balloon. Minus all its shininess.

Good job I came across it and not one of the cows. They love to suck and chew bits of string. If they ate this balloon and its string they could be seriously ill.

Time to ban these STUPID helium balloons. 🎈

Signal, Theatre Factory, Dance - so much going on in a community that really needs it.

This is such good news for the Arts Community in Barrow. I have fond memories of working In Cooke's Studios and it'll be great to see it be able to offer more opportunities for young people to engage with the arts.

Please change the wording on this manifesto to get rid of the howling ageism. You're better than this.

noentry Arts Emergency Oh come off it, I’ve been an Arts Emergency mentor for years and the arts is insanely ageist and completely youth-obsessed. Claiming young people are “demonised” is just nonsense.

Marginalised youth enter the industry at a much later age, thus becoming older “emerging artists.”

Welcome to the first installment of our #BookoftheMonth series, where we highlight a book from our team's current reading list to inspire, educate, and entertain.

Explore Abundance: Nature in Recovery by Karen Lloyd from Bloomsbury Books UK!

A good farmer and a good bloke doing what's right for both nature and his commercial farm.

I don't usually respond with any kind of emotion to AI generated artwork.... but it's inspired by 'Thursbitch'.... and if it's celebrating Alan Garner I'm not sure I can help myself 💜

Hello book fiends. I've got a signed paperback of CUDDY (published last week) here that's seeking a home.

Simply re-tweet this to be in with a chance of winning it.

Perceiving the line where air meets tide, children hold on to the possibility of flight;
while adults watch unmoved, bound to the earth by time.

Lost in Glasgow last night. Cormac's fiddle and viola disappeared in Glasgow around midnight somewhere between the Barrowland Ballroom and Double Tree hotel on Cambridge St.
Both were in the one case, similar to pictured below.
REWARD OFFERED.
Thanks x
