As it was #BurnsNight at the weekend, now seems like a good time to remind you of our own, rapidly growing, Scottish literary contingent (with more authors who make Scotland their home joining us in the coming months👀)!

The correct answer to this is "Yes, and everyone else too."
Should artists get a basic income like they do in Ireland?
Could the government pay salaries to musicians and artists - no strings attached like they do in Ireland?

Hello! Are you in the UK/Canada/Aus/NZ? Did you discover RPGs through any of the paperback-book games released in the mid-1980s (Fighting Fantasy RPG, Advanced FF, Maelstrom, Dragon Warriors, Tunnels & Trolls)? Can I ask you a couple of questions for an article? Please get in touch.

Thanks to the child being a walking petri dish, I've been struggling to do anything this week. It's an annoying thing when your brain is desperate to get stuff done, but the body is noncompliant.

Look, I'm going to tell you a secret. If you buy an e-book while it's on sale, you never have to read it. If you have $2 to spare & want to help that particular author, you can just chuck the book into the oubliette of your TBR. Every sale helps. The author will never know, but you gave them a gift.

The problem is that he doesn't give a damn about those 3 things, so the big orange baby is going to take any suggestions and toss them in the bin.

🙏🐴GIFT HORSES, RAIN CLOUDS & REVENGE💦👹
In times past, during extreme weather events, the imperial court would turn to one particular shrine.
Kifune-jinja (貴船神社), nestled in the mountains north of Kyōto, is home to the god of rain. Horses were gifted to the shrine in an attempt to alter the weather.
