A perfect day of writing but most of all, sharing ideas, at @societyofauthors.bsky.social in Bloomsbury, London, where every Friday in May you can "Write With Us" in peaceful surroundings with WiFi, biscuits, tea, coffee and fellow authors at every stage of their careers. Highly recommend!

Please can a journalist’s first question to Trump be why he didn’t wear a black suit.

A lot of Catholics have a problem with you not respecting the dignity of the office.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social there is a Michael Rosen poem
I sometimes fear that
people think that fascism arrives in fancy dress
worn by grotesques and monsters
as played out in endless re-runs of the Nazis.

Fascism arrives as your friend.
It will restore your honour,
make you feel proud,

@mrjamesob.bsky.social the teenager has been a reluctant/non reader for the last few years

I leave books in his room occasionally like putting broccoli on a toddler’s plate

Nothing worked. Until yours!

He’s enjoying it & now says he ‘sees the point of reading’
