People who become quite good writers tend to be those who have spent a lot of time being quite bad writers and did not, as a result, run away from themselves. Never underestimate the power of having a strong stomach for your own shortcomings.

Images like this make sending people to prison for splashing some soup on glass look completely ridiculous.

stop looking for a job and start looking for the love of your life who you are gonna die in the arms of in the next five years when then world ends

Absolutely loved Too Hot To Sleep by Elspeth Wilson (Written Off Publishing). These poems masterfully thread together teenage experiences, queer identity, ecocriticism and neurodivergence. I'm also proud of myself for understanding all the pop culture references!

6. These Mortal Bodies by Elspeth Wilson i was lucky enough to get a very early proof of this book and really enjoyed it. a coming of age story with a dark academia twist, where sisterhood holds the potential to turn into something much darker
