When I turned 40, I had 320 short story rejections and no books published. A few years later, I've published a short story collection and two novels with another on the way. Believe in yourself like someone who loves you.

And here’s what you could have won…
The EU is about to launch a single European booking system for train tickets.
This means that you will be able to travel to multiple destinations in multiple countries on just one ticket with your full travel schedule clearly mapped out. 👍👍👍

I am in the process of transitioning from that cesspool known as Twitter (I refuse to call it X). This is my first post on Blue Sky. I am still in shock from last week so I can only offer this image I took a couple of weeks ago from my backyard. The Horsehead Nebula. Helps keep the perspective!

Good news: Twitter is collapsing.
And this chart doesn't even show the last two weeks—which have seen the largest exodus in site history.
There are reports from Newsweek and others that Twitter may merge with Truth Social.
If that happens, the last collapse of Twitter may happen almost overnight.

Terrible time of year to be looking for an Archbishop, all your stakeholders are busy, very hard to schedule interviews, all your church roof funds depend on strong performance over the next six weeks

Archbishop Welby has said - when i was told in 2013 that police had been notified i believed wrongly that an appropriate resolution would follow It is very clear that I must take personal and institutional responsibility for the long and retraumatising period between 2013 and 2024 NO SHIT SHERLOCK!

Twitter is dying a death and no one talks anymore, my other accs are too big for conversation, so hopefully here can be a place to chat with others as it would be nice to do so.

I think all humans should get at least 3 months off per year to create stuff. Art, side projects, writing, etc.
And if they don't feel creative it's okay, that time would belong to them.

Conditions at Wethersfield are disgraceful. Absolutely nobody should be kept there. It's important to recognise that the Home Office, not those taking the case, are responsible for this. They could have sorted this by providing suitable accommodation.
